Apple Will Allow Parler Back In App Store By Laura StotlerApril 23, 2021 Apple has announced it will reinstate conservative social media platform Parler in its App Store after a ban of several months. The move was announced this week in a letter to Senator Mike Lee and Representative Ken Buck, which was made public. Apple was one of a number of companies, including Google and Amazon, that banned Parler after the January Capitol riot, which resulted in five deaths and hundreds of arrests. The Parler platform had been used by far-right members to call for violence and organize the attack on the Capitol.
