Facts on Apple Threats against Parler


It's interesting that all the advocates of a free market when it comes to baking cakes are learning what that actually means today.

Can we iPhone users be involved in a class action lawsuit against Apple? We don’t have many billboard attorneys up in my neck of the woods so I wouldn’t know.


Considering the new normal is coming after attorneys (and thereby interfering with the 6th Amendment Rights of Americans) is en vougue also along with runining someones businesss - probably not.

By Apple's logic, yes.

ETA - which is also utterly terrifying bc they have access to your phone to "update it." So just take that to its logical extreme. You can own a phone, you just can't use it. But these ignoramouses think, it's a private company, so you can just go ahead and build your own IPhone so you can say whatever you want on it.

Big Brother is here y'all.

fricking scary.

Agreed. Public planning of illegal acts by them on Twitter should have them banned as well.

It actually kind of concerns me because I worry this will lead to more civil unrest.


you are right

On Wednesday the left got gifted the high road.

What's going on now will cause them to give it right back.

Dude. Come on. Be honest with yourself. There is a MASSIVE difference between a tech giant like Twitter and a fricking mom and pop bakery.

Seriously? Why the frick can’t you at least TRY to be objective.

Agreed. Wednesday was awful and yes I put a lot of the blame on Trump. However, the response to that is going too far imo. Especially the impeachment.

I wasn't comparing the two. I simply replied to the post about forcing the bakery to bake a cake.

And it’s literally comparing apples to steaks. They’re both food, but they’re completely different.

The shite these tech giants are doing is straight up Orwellian and should make anyone with a brain shudder.

You’re asking Mickey to be honest. Mickey’s default setting is boldfaced lies.

On an iPhone...so an iPhone was used to coordinate, plan and facilitate the illegal activities.

Does not Apple see the irony?

Apple has tons of rules for APPS on their devices. You can't have an APP that allows public posting of nudity, for example.
Then Apple should be banning Twitter. Pick a porn actress and go look at their twitter feed. They post straight up porn (sucking dick or getting railed) on Twitter and Apple isn’t banning their app

Okay....what illegal activities were planned/coordinated via Parler that Twitter had occurring during the BLM/ANTIFA riots (notice that is plural) that went on for months and caused in excess of $1B in damage.....

You can find straight up cartel gore all over Twitter.

Chainsaw to the neck. Ice picks to the face. Squirming sacks tossed into a river and shot til it sinks.

But some people said some things so they get banned.

I would submit that this is much different. Apple is more like a utility in this situation. Can a utility decide you no longer deserve water, power, phone communication etc...?
