Apple Reinstates Parler in App Store

Apple reinstated Parler to its App Store effective April 14, Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, and Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., announced Monday. Lee and Buck, top Republicans on the Senate Antitrust Subcommittee and the House Antitrust Subcommittee, wrote Apple, Google and Amazon in March, questioning actions the companies took against Parler in January. Apple had removed the platform from the App Store. According to Apple’s response to their letter, the two sides negotiated updates to Parler’s content moderation practices, and Apple’s review team informed Parler of the reinstatement. Parler didn’t comment.
