Apple suspends Parler from its App Store while Amazon will shut off web hosting service over violence threats
A day after Parler was removed from the Google Play Store, Apple has made a similar step.
While the social media app was the top free app Saturday, Apple said in a statement sent to USA TODAY that it has suspended Parler.
The social network, launched in 2018, became popular among conservatives and an unmoderated home to more extreme views in 2020 when both Facebook and Twitter tightened up their content moderation and labeling.
"We have always supported diverse points of view being represented on the App Store, but there is no place on our platform for threats of violence and illegal activity," Apple's statement said. "Parler has not taken adequate measures to address the proliferation of these threats to people’s safety."

Amazon is suspending Parler from its web hosting services effective 11:59 p.m. PT Sunday, BuzzFeed reported late Saturday, citing a letter it had obtained, which mentions 98 examples of Parler posts that "encourage and incite violence." Amazon declined to comment on the suspension.
Apple also shared a message its App Review Board sent to Parler developers that said the app will be removed from its store “until we receive an update that is compliant with the App Store Review Guidelines and you have demonstrated your ability to effectively moderate and filter the dangerous and harmful content on your service.”
Parler did not immediately respond to USA TODAY's request for comment but its CEO John Matze wrote about the ban in a post on Parler Saturday night.
“Apple will be banning Parler until we give up free speech, institute broad and invasive policies like Twitter and Facebook and we become a surveillance platform by pursuing guilt of those who use Parler before innocence,” Matze wrote. “They claim it is due to violence on the platform. The community disagrees as we hit number 1 on their store today.”
Suppressing free speech is never a good idea.
Beware of absolutes, they can bite you in the butt.
"You can't trust your eyes, if your mind is out of focus" --
Twitter, Apple and Google are private companies that reserve the right to control who uses their product and how.
They all have policies against users, who in their sole opinion, who violate their term and conditions, can have their access denied.
Free speech does not have to mean uncontrolled use of their platforms which are mostly free.
No one is being forced to use their platforms and no one is preventing anyone from using some other method to communicate to people.
That's debatable.
Google "Section 230".
And yet another YouTube video. They prove absolutely nothing.

Googled it, read it, don't see how it forces companies to or prevents companies from allowing people to use their products.
Please explain.

Am I missing something?
