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.

What on earth does Kaepernick have to do with Apple? You're all over the place my dude.

Where you see a conspiracy, I just see an app that was against Apple's TOS all along but was able to fly under the radar for a long time.

Until they coordinated with other publicly traded companies...

They did no tos investigation. A bunch of aws employees made a fuss, then poof. They were cherry picked.

But they have no standing in court, because they didn't pre-sue.

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.

Not much of an investigation needed:
1) There is hate speech on Parler (see above)
2) Parler says they are not planning to do anything against it

Now you're just rambling again.

How pedophiles are using Instagram as a secret portal to an apparent network of child porn

Pedophiles have been sharing Dropbox links to child porn via Instagram
The sick social media users advertised their content via certain hashtags
Teenagers running meme accounts have tried to alert their followers to report the offenders to Instagram
However some alleged they received messages from Instagram saying it didn't violate their terms of service
Instagram said it is using technology to detect content that puts children at risk
Dropbox said it is working with Instagram to make sure the links are taken down
A Dropbox spokesperson told DailyMail.com: 'We work with Instagram and other sites to ensure this type of content is taken down as soon as possible'
Instagram told DailyMail.com they are 'developing technology which proactively finds child nudity and child exploitative content when it’s uploaded'

more rambling.

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.

I mean, nobody knew about it until November last year.

Anyways, I'm off again. Sorry for invading your safe space.

I'm juts glad it took:

REDDIT
TWITCH
SHOPIFY
TWITTER
YOUTUBE
FACEBOOK
INSTAGRAM
SNAPCHAT
TIKTOK
DISCORD
PINTEREST

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! :nuts: 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.

Selective, yes?

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.

I sure hope they ban the upcoming VP President soon.

Curious as to what sort of money-trail you believe leads to Wikipedia editors. I can't even find the start of it, so nothing to follow.

Groupthink isn't evidence of a bribery scheme, it's evidence of groupthink.

Yes, jokes which pre-suppose knowledge of one very specific and obscure tweet by an actor, absent any context, are often missed.

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.

Sources for Haldeman's religious affiliation:

@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.
