Parler blocked on Apple’s App Store after US Capitol riot review


Apple said that Parler’s new community guidelines, released when the service came back online Feb 15, were insufficient to comply with the App Store rules. — Bloomberg

Parler, the controversial conservative social media app, was denied re-entry to Apple Inc’s App Store recently after it was kicked off the platform in the wake of the Jan 6 US Capitol riot, documents obtained by Bloomberg show.

On Wednesday, Parler LLC cut its three remaining iOS developers, according to a person familiar with the matter. The company eliminated seven workers in total, most of whom were contractors. The other staff worked on Parler TV and quality assurance, said the person, who asked not to be identified discussing private matters.
