Apple reportedly threatens to ban Parler app after Capitol Hill attack

https://www.cnet.com/news/apple-reportedly-threatens-to-ban-parler-app-after-capitol-hill-attack/

Apple told Parler it'll ban the social network's app from its app store if it doesn't start to moderate its content better, Buzzfeed reported Friday. The warning comes two days after a mob of Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol Building, an event Apple reportedly said Parler's platform could have facilitated. Parler has been rife with violent comments since before Capitol Building Attack.

"We have received numerous complaints regarding objectionable content in your Parler service, accusations that the Parler app was used to plan, coordinate, and facilitate the illegal activities in Washington D.C. on January 6, 2021 that led (among other things) to loss of life, numerous injuries, and the destruction of property. The app also appears to continue to be used to plan and facilitate yet further illegal and dangerous activities," Apple warned Parler on Friday, according to Buzzfeed.
