Of course, this isn't shutting down Parler, it's about removing an app from a store. Cry me a river that they'd have to log in using their phone browser or something. And let's be honest here: even a platform under 230 is not immune to consequences for facilitating a coup or an insurrection, I would have to believe, though I am not a lawyer.
- input_sh 6y ago230 has a "Good Samaritan" portion. In simplest terms, if the platform does its best to remove illegal content, it's good. Parler is definitely not doing that.
- BlueTemplar 6y agoIt's also not Apple's job to do any policing before Parler has been found guilty by a court.
- favorited 6y agoIt's Apple's job to do what they think is best for their ecosystem. That's pretty much their whole job.
- BlueTemplar 6y agoNobody is forced to install Parler. Apple, as a maker of (very!) personal, general computers shouldn't have any say on what the computer users can or can not do once they bought these computers. In fact, IMHO they shouldn't be allowed to control the App Store at all. (Of course this also goes for their competition : Google, Microsoft, probably even Canonical.)
