If I had a dollar for every time someone made this point...

The issue isn’t whether they have the right to deplatform. The issue is whether they _should_.

Of course they should. Why shouldn’t they remove platforms that almost solely contain hate speech and insurrectionist content? Half the stuff said on Parler could constitute a hate crime, and frankly, they should have been removed from the App Store/Play Store ages ago.

I would agree. I don't think apple should be allowed to prevent side loading. And certainly not accessing things from email. But by all means, if you're running a curated store of apps, don't sell tickets to the white supremacist show
