Apple could bring back Parler to App Store if it makes these changes, says Tim Cook

Cook said that Apple does not control what is there on the internet but "we've never viewed that our platform should be a simple replication of the internet.After removing the popular social network Parler from the App Store, Apple is now considering bringing it back however it comes with a catch.

Apple’s CEO Tim Cook has said that if the company is willing to change how it moderates posts on the platform, the app will be again available for downloads via App Store. It is to note that Apple had suspended all Parler app downloads on the back of the attack on the US Capitol on January 6. Apple said that postings on the platform had the potential to further incite violence.

Not just Apple, but Google as well as Amazon also did not support Parler on the similar grounds.

Cook, according to media reports, said that the company suspended Parler as it was favored by supporters of President Donald Trump. “We looked at the incitement to violence that was on there, and we don’t consider that free speech and incitement to violence has an intersection,” a report by AFP quoted Apple CEO as saying.
