chosen.content: Parler was banned from the App Store in October 2020 due to violations of Apple's guidelines. Specifically, the platform was cited for promoting hate speech, which is prohibited by Apple's terms of service. The app had been the go-to platform for far-right, and occasionally neo-Nazi, groups to spread their message on social media. It had more than 700,000 active monthly users and boasted of featuring the "most controversial discussions." Apple ultimately made the decision to pull the app after months of pressure from civil rights groups and government officials who pointed to a lack of accountability in policing hate speech on the platform. Apple's policy also stipulates that "content that promotes or condones violence against civilians can’t be promulgated."

The company failed to meet Apple's expectations for preventing such activities on their platform, leading to the ban. Parler recently applied for re-review but as of yet the ban is still in place.
