Apple says it will kick Parler off the App Store in 24 hours unless content is moderated

  • 🔧 At about Midnight EST I am going to completely fuck up the site trying to fix something.

Except none of those screenshots on the Input article prove that Parler was used to "plan, coordinate, and facilitate" the incident? Even the post everyone is whining about and reporting doesn't involve planning or coordinating. If you're going to make an accusation like that, at least try to come up with some relevant examples to back it up.

Funny that reminds me of the sperging about A&N raiding other boards or whatever. They never can actually produce any proof.

Also they can always just have you download the apk and install it on Android, hell Amazon used to have you do that cause they weren't allowed on the play store for a bit early on.
 
They already sidestepped Google with a third party app store. They keep saying "just make your own site" and then they do this. What's got them so scared of a few fringe loonies?

How dare companies moderate their own content?!

App stores are functional. They're not content.

Not legally, of course. Legally they're currently permitted to do this. Well, for now it's legal. There are some anti-trust implications because cell phones are sold with these app stores pre-installed.

Giving users a choice of app stores when purchasing phones would help.

Does a bakery have a right to decide which customers it will serve? Just wanna know if you truly support businesses being able to set their own rules or not.

They do as long as the customers aren't a protected class. Someone inciting violence isn't a protected class

But it's not 2003 anymore; we both know that the vast majority of users are accessing these sites from their cellphones. It's a continuation of the premise that these tech platforms constitute the public square and my complaint is entirely consistent with that. These are the exceptions that prove the rule. Yes private businesses have the right of full control over their enterprise; unless and until that enterprise becomes a monopoly in its space.

"Make your own Twitter." Okay, people did that because Twitter was a monolith in its space and any close competition like Facebook moved in lock step with them.

Well now "our own Twitter" is being policed by Apple and Google and they have absolute control over the mobile phone market. Do we need to make our own cellphone hardware now? Build our own cellular networks? Where does it stop? Why not make our own country at that point? These people just want to talk and share ideas and maybe not all of them are good but it is their right according to the Constitution of the United States to do so.

For all your talk about Trump supporters conveniently glossing over details to make their points more salient, you're sure going far to excuse behavior that conveniently silences people you disagree with.


I appreciate the sentiment, but workarounds like this are not conceivable to most users and are not a substitute for their rights.

its not that difficult. these sites can put up pictures explaining the process. android 10 pops up a settings prompt
 
Tfw Twitter lets pedophiles share CP, openly talk about their delusions and creep on minors while kicking off those with wrongthink; people brush it aside as "whataboutism" and clap when oligopolies crack down on alternative sites.
They push these edgy people with different opinions to have to mingle with actual extremists and they in turn eventually become corrupted by those people. The Daily Stormer still exists, but no one on the surface knows that because they survive on the Tor network.

Now I'm just waiting for the actual terrorist attacks to start up like the ones that went down in the '70s and when it happens I'll be sitting across the aisle with the smugest shit eating grin imaginable and say, "I fucking told you so."

So you believe some races and other groups are naturally superior to others and deserve better treatment and more rights/freedoms?

No, legally the bakery only had the right to refuse a design and not the customer.

You are weak and bad, you betray the party principles. Only when incitement to violence means saying you don't like someone or something, then will I rest. Currently encouraging legislation to ban ALL incitement to violence (referred to by terrorists as "disapproval").
