Apple showed how powerful they are and made an example out of Parler. They showed conservatives that we can not build our own platforms and they will allow us only as long as we confirm.
I know I would hurt financially but I would like a Bernie Sanders type socialist to crack down on the giant corporations, I'm so sick of all the virtue signaling and how abusive large corporations have become.
Although I do know that it is beyond the power of government to control corporations. What can you tax? They can move anywhere if they want to and invest their profits so that they pay no taxes.
Sweeny is a massive cuck and would never stand for it. Not a huge fan of him or his company, but if it cucks the "app stores" i'll happily let him do it.
Well, they have been shouting for months now that the knee should come off once the subject is dead.
Says everything you need to know about Parler as it is now, I think.

I think you intended to say “a controlled and indiscriminate Bern”.
Though i’m not sure how that would differ from the current Bern.

Crack down?
The government is the one who established the Corporate Oligarchs in the first place, on purpose.
Further regulation only exists to stifle competition and threaten the oligarchs themselves.
What you need to do is start destroying the government funding and protection apparatus of these institutions.
Epic remains the only company not to bend to Apple's whims.
Parler should have joined that lawsuit.

If Epic wins, Apple are required to allow sideloading of apps, which would make censorship far harder.
Epic have already said they won't accept a simple concession of returning Fortnite to the App Store.
Our best hope against Big Tech, and I'm not just saying that as an Epic fanboy, is that Epic wins against Apple and forces massive reform.
Isn't Epic partially Chinese owned?
It is, 42% owned by Tencent Holdings Ltd.
lol at any company, even those with good boy points, putting anything on an app store instead of developing a PWA.
PWA support is getting dropped left and right by the Chrome/Firefox duopoly. Not a great solution long term.
"Dear Parler:
Here is a list of necessary improvements for you to get back on the Apple Store:
Sincerely, Apple
Ha! They were a shill service to begin with.
