Yesterday, we asked @AppStore and @GooglePlay to enforce their own Terms of Service on Parler based on the sheer number of violent threats on the platform with #PullParler.

Look at the VERY CLEAR terms set by these two app stores below: https://twitter.com/slpng_giants/status/1347190280492089344
These are the Terms for both user-generated and Objectionable Content as published by @Apple’s @appstore.

The threats and inability for Parler to moderate these violent threats on their app should disqualify the app instantly from the AppStore. #PullParler
Over on @GooglePlay, the Terms of Service are even more clear, forbidding both violence and hate explicitly as well as harassment on any app distributed by the store.

Again, @google has created these rules *themselves*. They should enforce their own policies. #PullParler
There is precedent for this enforcement on both of these platforms, with @AppStore turning away Gab and @GooglePlay banning the same app in 2017 for very similar content to Parler.

They should apply the same principles here.

#PullParler
No corporations should aid apps openly allowing calls to violence, let alone those speaking out against it.

As we now know, words matter. Calls to violence turn into real violence.

@AppStore and @GooglePlay need to #PullParler.
UPDATE: The calls for violence over on Parler are getting much, much worse.

There are now open calls for the murder of police officers and planning for violence on January 20th

This obviously severely violates the law, much less the @AppStore and @GooglePlay rules.
