But you do need Google and Apple to have a mobile app. I do agree with you that AWS dropping them isn't evidence of a monopoly. There's plenty of competitors

I do agree with you that AWS dropping them isn't evidence of a monopoly. There's plenty of competitors in that space. None of them, however, are going to touch Parler with a 10ft pole at this point.

- Grustaf 6y agoThey could prevent people from accessing them on their phones though, let’s see how long it takes.

- Zambyte 6y agoLikely not at all for Apple.
- evgen 6y agoLike how they prevent people from getting the ISIS websites, Hamas websites, neo-Nazi web sites? Looks like they have more than a decade to do so and still nothing. Maybe your hyperbolic slippery slope argument is wrong?
- Grustaf 6y agoMany of these are still allowed on Twitter, so I’m not sure what your argument is. And I’m saying they “could”. They might decide not to. Although I don’t think anyone could have foreseen level of censorship we have now, even 5 years ago, so who knows what it will look like in 2025. And I think if you ask the average HN reader he wouldn’t be opposed to blocking websites for political reasons.
- mmis1000 6y agoApple do it in certain degree. By makes their mobile browser extreme buggy and feature lacking. You don't even have proper notification support on it. How could it be used as a proper app? A social app that can't tell you that someone send a message to you sounds a no-go to me.
- klyrs 6y agoYou don't need google to side-load apps.
