This is appalling and disgraceful for Tim Cook.  The hypocrisy here is monumental and morally repellent in the extreme. Not only have Twitter  and Facebook done the same or worse -- as others have noted above   -- Apple itself spent years manufacturing its products in China in cooperation with a Communist regime that practices well documented genocide (replete with mass rapes) of the Uyghurs and Tibetans while practicing enforced organ transplants on the Falun Gong followers.  But still  Apple pronounces Parler unfit because, what, some fools decided to riot in the Capitol.not a single one of them, as it turned out, even carrying a gun.  If you call that an "insurrection" you haven't seen a real one.  And yet Apple did nothing in response to the concentration camps in Xinjiang Province we have been hearing about for years.  PATHETIC and NAUSEATING>

This is not a good trend.  Twitter has done a lot of censoring of posters over the years that is deeply undemocratic .  A notable example was censorship by Twitter of the NYPost's 100% true story about Hunter Biden's laptop and activities.  Such things work against the principles of a free society, as did Apple's peremptory removal of Parler from the App store.  Big Tech should take itself out of the censorship business for the good of every citizen of whatever politics.
