Let me put it a different way.
It’s not that they’re being deplatformed; it’s that Parler violated the App Store TOS. Specifically Review Guidelines Section 1.1 - Objectionable Content.
And Donald Trump violated the Twitter TOS.
No one is being deplatformed, and it isn’t a left vs right thing. It’s reasonable that these companies enforce their TOS as they would against you or me.
There’s no Apple TOS for websites viewed in Safari. And Apple has not made it so you can’t access Parler through the web.
