Because because they don't moderate speech doesn't mean they don't have the ability to... How is that a violation?
You're being pedantic. Apple doesn't want what they call "Objectionable content" in the apps they provide - see the link above. The clause 1.2 requires platforms to implement measures to stop that from happening.
Until they coordinated with other publicly traded companies...
Any evidence? To me it seems that it was flying below the radar until it was made clear that the 1/6 rioters used it as a platform to share their hate speech + riot plans. That, in turn, made several companies realize they wanted nothing to do with that.
They did no tos investigation. A bunch of aws employees made a fuss, then poof. They were cherry picked.
Your own quote literally says that they are taking these down as soon as possible. That's all that Parler would have to do to comply with the TOS - but they don't, and therefore they got removed.
Anyways, I'm off again. Sorry for invading your safe space.

to ban any Trump accounts, all on the same day, so Apple and Amazon could take a good, non-coordinated look at Parler and ban them too...
Safe space? Oh yes, all you sycophants! All my safe spaces were banned and removed over the last four years, starting with the multi-platform coordinated bans of Milo and Alex Jones back in 2016. Every, single, one of them, because I have bad think.
Coordinated? C'mon, man. Is that that surprising that a bunch of tech companies, who are all reading from the same hymnal, and have a history of copycat decision-making (especially when done in the name of appearing to be socially "woke"), all decided to jump on that particular bandwagon?
I ask you to consider Wikipedia, as an example. Wikipedia isn't a commercial entity. It has no corporate board. But its editors, who are volunteers mostly plucked from the same circle of friends as corporate big-tech, decided two days ago that Wikipedia's article on Parler should be part of the "Antisemitism" series of articles.
And, boom! There it is.
If a large group of people all think the same way, it's not surprising that they reach the same conclusions. This isn't collusion, it's just groupthink.

When Deep Throat instructed Bob Woodward to "follow the money," (which is perhaps the origin of the phrase in a political context), it led back, via the Committee to Reelect the President, to White House Chief of Staff Bob Haldeman (R).
What information I can find indicates that Haldeman's religious affiliation was Church of Christ, Scientist.
@Joe Perez I don’t see the broadcast (though I guess I might be able to now, if indeed on YouTube TV); but, regarding the NewsNation Now app on my phone: If it keeps posting AP news items word for word, then it will not be neutral, and it will not be unique.
