Parler, a platform named for the French word “to speak,” is finding out just how far the big tech players are willing to go to stop free speech.
Parler’s founders envisioned the platform to be a safe place from the censorship, deplatforming and bans of Apple, Google, Facebook and Twitter. The company is learning, however, that the vice-like hold of those left-leaning speech killers is an easy one to escape.
The CEO of Parler, John Matze, posted Tuesday afternoon on his Parler account that Apple was threatening to remove the platform from the App Store if Parler did not comply with its demands.
What demands could Apple possible have of an up-and-coming social media app?
Get rid of conservative content or pay the price.
At least that is the way Matze sees it. “Apple contacted me over a week ago via telephone saying that we need to ban “offensive” content off Parler or they will take Parler off the App Store,” Matze wrote. “We flat out refused and now we cannot push updates. Obviously by offensive they mean conservative content.”
