The Thought Police is Here - Facts on Apple Threats against Parler
Posted on 1/8/21 at 5:38 pm
Posted on 1/8/21 at 5:38 pm
There are several posts about this but no link. To confirm: Parler has been threatened by Apple. Apple is basically ordering Parler to change its business practices and require Parler to censor content, or it will be prohibited from selling its product in the Apple Marketplace. This is completely and utterly terrifying.
Apple, wrote Parler a message (unsigned by any human), which stated as follows:
No indication of who complained. What specific posts Parler made that it's somehow "responsible for" (because the Apple police say that too). Just conform, or lose your fricking business.
I legitimately am horrified about what is happening. This is scary, dystopian and dangerous.
This Coupled with this scary arse witch hunt; and the characterization of Cruz and Hawley as engaging in sedition for following a procedure THAT IS SET FORTH IN A STATUTE, is utterly and completely terrifying. Further, Hawley and Cruz are the biggest eliminate 230 senators in the Senate - do you not think these are related?
These totalitarians own our government. They are funding our "elections" in decisive areas. I'm freaked. If you actually consider yourself a "liberal" you should be freaked out too. There is utterly NOTHING that is liberal, or free, or free market about this.

we have received numerous complaints regarding objectionable content in your Parler service, accusations that the Parler app was used to coordinate, plan, 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.

Simpletons and dishonest people will tell you Apple can do whatever they want, Parler should build their own marketplace, devices, servers, chips, software tools, computers, cell towers, power grid, power plant.

Apple can do what they want to protect their brand. The consumers can then choose to do business or not.

Oh no what safe space are they coming after next?

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.

Remember when liars and morons said conservatives could just start their own social media platforms?

This is just regarding their APP, correct? Apple has tons of rules for APPS on their devices. You can't have an APP that allows public posting of nudity, for example.
It seems reasonable that they would not allow an APP to be used on their devices to plan/coordinate/facilitate illegal activities.

So no crimes are coordinated via calls or iMessage? Please think before posting

If this were true, Twitter wouldn't be allowed to be in the app store.
However, Parler does not allow such activity.

Yeah, this went out the window when twitter was the main vehicle to cause $1 billion in damage and killing dozens last summer.

See above, Mickey Goldmill and beastie boy.
There’s no getting along with these types of people. There is a fundamental different belief system.

How does that seem reasonable? Safari, chrome, firefox are all just apps which could be used for illegal activities.
Text messaging.
Phone app.
You could use the calculator to work out fertilizer ratios.
So you want to ban all those?
Would that reasonable?

I'm not applauding anything. It actually kind of concerns me because I worry this will lead to more civil unrest.
