Apple allowing Parler back into the App Store

Apple is allowing Parler, the social networking site popular with conservatives and members of the far right, back in the App Store, according to a letter the company sent to Republican lawmakers on Monday. 

In the letter to Congressman Ken Buck of Colorado and Senator Mike Lee of Utah, Apple said it "engaged in substantial conversations with Parler" since removing the platform from the App Store for violating compliance guidelines and lacking proper content moderation policies in January. "As a result of those conversations, Parler has proposed updates to its app and the app's content moderation practices," Apple said in the letter, adding that it anticipates the updated app will become available as soon as Parler releases it.
