Parler says it is still trying to get back into Apple’s good graces because the tech titan allegedly rejected his bid to return to the App Store.
The controversial social network has spent two months trying to address the hysterical content of the iPhone manufacturer that found the parlor app from Apple’s platform following the Jan. 6 capital riots.
Reportedly, after the parlor was moved with new community guidelines in February, Apple told the startup that it did not do enough to comply with its policies against objectionable content.
To prove its point, Apple reportedly sent over a dozen screenshots to Parler, showing its users sharing racist, anti-gay, and anti-Jewish abuses with swastikas and other Nazi imagery.
“As you know, developers need to implement strong moderation capabilities to identify, prevent and filter this objectionable content to protect the health and safety of users,” Apple told Parler on February 25 Wrote the message that it was received Input And Bloomberg news.
The report states that “from your stated moderation policies and your app review, it is clear that your moderation practices are insufficient to follow the App Store review guidelines,” the note reportedly added.
In a statement on Thursday, Amy Peikoff, Parler’s chief policy officer, said the company has tried to show Apple the steps it has taken to root out harmful posts.
They use a “combination of algorithmic filters and human reviews” to remove content that threatens or incites violence and implements a feature that lets users grumble about “irreversible and irrelevant features” such as race or sex Allows language to be filtered.
“The parlor hopes to work with Apple to return to the App Store,” Pyroff said. “We are optimistic that Apple will continue to differentiate itself from individual ‘Big Tech’ companies in order to ‘think differently’ to their customers’ choice when using Apple products.”
Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Thursday.
Parler has taken a much more friendly stance toward Apple than Amazon, which booted the right-wing site from its servers in January over concerns about its users’ violent positions, keeping it offline for more than a month.
Parler filed another lawsuit accusing Amazon Web Services of defusing the platform to protect Twitter, which is another of its customers. Amazon has stated that Parler’s claims are unqualified.
Parler’s app still has to come back to the Google Play store, which removed it a day before Apple.
