John Matze on Apple’s banning of Parler “until we give up free speech”

Apple will be banning Parler until we give up free speech, institute broad and invasive policies like Twitter and Facebook and we become a surveillance platform by pursuing guilt of those who use Parler before innocence. They claim it is due to violence on the platform. The community disagrees as we hit number 1 on their store today. The same day โ€œHang Mike Penceโ€, a disgusting violent suggestion, was trending nationally on Twitter. Displaying the horrible double standard Apple and their big tech pack apply to the community. Apple, a software monopoly, provides no alternatives to installing apps on your phone other then their store. We do not own our phones, Apple simply rents them to us. Apple, Google and the rest of the anti-competitive pack of big tech tyrants coordinate their moves and work together to stifle competition in the marketplace. More details about our next plans coming soon as we have many options.

Google never had a conversation with us about an objective standard. Our position is that all the content they wanted us to remove was already removed or existed only on Twitter. Their employees met with multiple people on our team a week ago via zoom. After they realized the call was being recorded they asked for clarity then they claimed they didnโ€™t know how to properly use zoom and asked to reschedule the call. They never did and we have not spoken since. We first heard about their decision in the press.

Do my former co-workers at AWS realize calls to violence are against our TOS… What are you trying to accomplish? Right now people are suppose to come together, calls to cancel people and remove free speech will radicalize people more. – Customer loyalty isnโ€™t built when you call to drop their services – Ownership for your ideas. Do you have any evidence to back your claim besides screenshots off Twitter which donโ€™t exist on Parler? – Are you Right? Is this the correct decision? – Does this call to cancel show a willingness or desire to learn or be curious? – Does this earn more customer trust? – How many of you have accounts with Parler and have any first hand experiences? This doesnโ€™t show you are diving deep. – Delivering results and solving problems. In this case, working with your clients to solve problems together.

Parler is number one!

First time I completely read Googleโ€™s explanation for the ban. They never sent me a copy ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ Guess they arnt really concerned about the โ€œviolenceโ€ that is against our rules anyway. If they actually cared, they would try to help. Not dump the app and send a break up public statement. What a horrible way to handle this. Can you imagine breaking up with a girlfriend that way? Hi Buzzfeed, tell the world my girlfriend and I are through because I like her sister Twitter more and she asked me to call things off. Thanks ๐Ÿ‘

AOC called to have Parler removed for promoting violence…. all her evidence were screenshots banned accounts that Twitter was hosting ๐Ÿคฃ Only 6 months after she encouraged people to riot and make people uncomfortable for change…. You seriously canโ€™t make this kind of hypocrisy up.

Violence and coordinating riots, coordinating rebellions and coordinating insurrections has no place on social media. Itโ€™s sad this need to be said because I thought that was pretty obvious. Most people on Parler are non-violent people who want to share their opinions, food pics and more. We value free speech per what the US constitution allows. What the media is doing is by continuing to attack is disgusting. We need to get together and Parley and heal and move on.

This is not an attack on Parler. This is an attack on our basic civil liberties and right to free speech. They know that the most powerful thing in the world is your voice and 1A.

Anyone who buys an Apple phone is apparently a user. Apperently they know what is best for you by telling you which apps you may and may not use. Apparently they believe Parler is responsible for ALL user generated content on Parler. Therefor by the same logic, Apple must be responsible for ALL actions taken by their phones. Every car bomb, every illegal cell phone conversation, every illegal crime committed on an iPhone, Apple must also be responsible for…. Standards not applied to Twitter, Facebook or even Apple themselves, apply to Parler.

The media tried to claim that “The Insurrection” was organized on Parler. There are quite a few problems with this. 1) Parler has no way to organize anything, Facebook groups was used heavily to organize the protests. 2) Protests are constitutionally protected. 3) Bad actors turned the protest into a riot. I know the media and everyone wants to point fingers and place blame. It is convenient for them to turn Parler into a scape goat. The reality that everyone pointing fingers is to blame. We need to start thinking critically again and stop blaming one another. We MUST try to humanize one another again not dehumanize by leveraging witch hunt tactics which will accomplish the opposite of their intended purposes.

We will not cave to pressure from anti-competitive actors! We will and always have enforced our rules against violence and illegal activity. But we WONT cave to politically motivated companies and those authoritarians who hate free speech!

It seems to me that many in the elite class do not look in mirrors. They advocate for violence and riots for months. They ignore riots lighting DC on fire. Congresswomen call for violence and rioting them ask Twitter to censor people sharing their words…. According to the authoritarianโ€™s who want to โ€œheal this countryโ€ it can only be done through corporate and digital cleansing. Apparently healing doesnโ€™t mean having a discussion as a country and coming together, it means canceling every idea they donโ€™t like. Book burning online. Book burning through the corporate elite. Smashing the career prospects of those with the wrong ideas. We all know what happens next. Why donโ€™t the elite put down their pitch forks and follow their own advice. Time to heal. Time to talk.
