Print article When social media network Parler came back to life on Apple’s App Store Monday, it was designed to be a less offensive version than what users are able to see elsewhere. Posts that are labeled “hate” by Parler’s new artificial intelligence moderation system won’t be visible on iPhones. There’s a different standard for people who look at Parler on other smartphones or on the Web: They will be able to see posts marked as “hate,” which includes racial slurs, by clicking through to see them. Parler has resisted placing limits on what appears on its social network, and its leaders have equated blocking hate speech to totalitarian censorship, according to Amy Peikoff, chief policy officer. But Peikoff, who leads Parler’s content moderation, says she recognizes the importance of the Apple relationship to Parler’s future and seeks to find common ground between them.
Apple has removed social media app Wimkin from its App Store as part of a growing crackdown on platforms that don t do enough to moderate content.
Apple removed Wimkin, which bills itself as an uncensored platform for free speech, because of content that called for violence ahead of the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden,
The Wall Street Journalreported Friday. According to Wimkin founder Jason Sheppard, Apple pulled the platform because of posts related to the organization of a Million Militia March at the inauguration on Jan. 20.
Other posts flagged as potentially dangerous included ones that called for the arrest of Vice President Mike Pence or a second civil war.
