Parler to be allowed back into Apple’s App Store
NY Post
Parler, the social-media app favored by some conservatives that got blamed for contributing to the riot at the US Capitol, will reportedly be allowed to return to Apple’s app store.
Apple banned the controversial app on Jan. 9 when it said Parler failed to remove posts on its social network that were allegedly used incite violence. The move came on the heels of the Jan. 6 riots in Washington and was followed by other tech giants including Amazon and Google. But in a letter to members of Congress, Apple said it agreed to let Parler resume operations on its system again because Parler has updated its software to better monitor hate speech, according to a letter addressed to Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.), who posted the letter on his Twitter account on Monday.
The killing of Iran’s tyrannical Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday in an unprecedented joint military attack by the US and Israel called Operation Epic Fury set off widespread celebrations from Iranians around the world — as President Trump said it would give them their “greatest chance” to “take back the country.” Meanwhile, in Iran, a lack of internet has made it impossible for Iranians to easily communicate daily conditions. Over a period of three days, with limited VPN connection, an eyewitness currently in Tehran — who, for her safety, is concealing her identity — shared her account of life under a country in the midst of battle with The Post’s Natasha Pearlman.
