> What I find troubling is that despite containing the same cesspool of vile content, Twitter never got booted from Google and Apple App stores, and AWS.

The difference being that on Parler the 'cesspool' as you call it is all there is, or at least it is the main attraction.

On Twitter it is easy enough to find, but an average user mostly does have to go looking for it, or at least be following someone who goes looking for it. Twitter also does make efforts to drain the cesspool, although it can certainly be debated whether those efforts are sufficient or even being made in good faith.

Okay, I see that POV--that Twitter is got a pass because it's worst content is just a by-product of their platform, and Parler didn't because it's worst content was the feature of their platform.
