Meh. Everybody was like "private companies can do whatever they like" when parler was censored off the internet. Now why is it a big deal when the same happens to a porn site? Only fans can create their own Visa and Mastercard if they want.

And Parler can obviously make their own mobile phones with comparable market access to Apple and Android combined with most apple and Android users more than happy to abandon their investment in their asset on principle.
If you didn't immediately ditch your iphone obviously that means Apple are beyond criticism of any kind because the market.

Exactly. There you go and that's the idea. This can happen to anyone.
I don't understand why they cheer on with the same "X is a private company and can ban, censor or remove whatever they like" argument when it happens to someone they don't like with but only care when it happens to them or to someone they agree with.
Just look at how Google Play removed other apps on the Play Store after Parler was banned [0]. This can happen to anyone.
These companies that hold this power are not anyone's friends and once again are on the side of profit. When will supporters of such acts learn that it can soon happen to them and realise that these large companies are the problem?
