They let anyone say whatever they wanted on their site.

They allowed conservatives to talk, and that’s a no-no

Existing, apparently.

I doubt Parler is even profitable so it isn't about money.

I think it was allowing their members to constantly call to hang members of congress

Allowed people like Lin Wood to post things like "Hang Mike Pence."

They had no guidelines. If they had adopted guidelines Amazon would not have dumped them.

That would never have been an issue if the Insurrection had not happened on Wednesday.

They aren’t Twitter.

Seriously. Highly inflammatory statements are made on Twitter all the time. Hang Pence was trending for a while this weekend.

But Apple isn’t kicking twitter out of the App Store.

Do you have any idea of the shite that Twitter has allowed?

Existed as a right sided alternative to Twitter. They service is being target under the guise of this weeks Capitol issue, but that is just the “good crisis” the left isn’t letting go to waste.

They don't enforce a moderation policy for posts advocating violence. Apple was nice enough to provide a bunch of screenshots, like the one from the guy talking about putting a bullet in Pelosi's head, and so on.

First Amendment does not protect speech that could incite harm against others. Supreme Court so ruled in 1919 and several other times.

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.
