Apple, Amazon deplatform Parler for not moderating content: 'Incites violence against others'

Parler, the new social media platform that has been a refuge for Trump supporters amid increased moderation by traditional platforms like Twitter and Facebook, has been suspended by Apple and Amazon.

Apple had threatened on Friday that it would remove Parler from its App Store if the company did not moderate content posted to the platform, which Apple deemed had helped facilitate deadly violence in Washington, D.C., last week.

The company removed Parler from the App Store late Saturday, claiming the alternative social media platform did not adequately address its concerns about content moderation.
