Apple asked for a plan, not for an implementation.
From Apple's letter:
> In addition [to removing the death threat examples in the letter], you must respond to this message with detailed information about how you intend to moderate and filter this content from your app, and what you will do to improve moderation and content filtering your service for this kind of objectionable content going forward.

And Apple had a (likely pre-determined) response: > We have determined that the measures you describe are inadequate to address the proliferation of dangerous and objectionable content on your app. I'm not sure Apple is acting in good faith here. What is considered adequate? Facebook has had all sorts of crazy stuff on it like the Christchurch shooting (and regularly also abuses iOS API's) and has never been taken down.
- bootlooped 6y agoAmazon's letter noted 2 things: They said they were going to use volunteer moderators to fix it, and their CEO said it wasn't really their problem anyway. So it's possible Apple also took those things into account and was able to determine it just wasn't going to work out, and there was no need to go any further. If you read Amazon's letter where they inform Parler they're kicked off, which you can find in the Buzzfeed News article, it sounds pretty cut and dry.
