On the 10th (local time), Apple deleted the popular application “parler” from Trump’s supporters from the iPhone App Store.

Last week, in connection with the U.S. Capitol riot, a post was posted on the pro-Trump social network (parlor) calling for violence, and the objectionable content violates Apple’s policy.

According to CNBC on the day, an Apple spokesman said in a statement, “We have always supported various viewpoints on the App Store, but there is no place on our platform when it comes to the threat of violence and illegal activities.”

“The parlor has not taken adequate steps to address the spread of this threat to people’s safety,” Lee said. The App Store has suspended it until the parlor resolves this issue.

Google also removed the parlor from Google Play, the Android app store last Friday.

CNBC said, “The removal of this app was in the aftermath of the US Capitol violence by Trump supporters who killed five people.” “It reminds me of the need to adjust the platform more closely.”

Twitter has permanently banned President Trump’s personal account on Friday because it believes that President Trump’s tweets are instigating violence, and Facebook banned President Trump’s personal account through an inauguration ceremony later this month.

Parlor was launched in 2018, and earlier this year it emerged as a pro-Trump platform compared to Twitter, which had less content restrictions.
