The social media app Parler, known to be popular among conservatives, has been banned from the Google Play store.
Google says postings in the app have incited violence in the U.S. In light of the public safety threat and the attack at the Capitol, they’re suspending the app’s listings until it addresses the issues.
The company demands apps have policies in place to prevent the spread of violent rhetoric.
The decision marks a blow to President Donald Trump’s supporters, many of whom use the Parler platform.
Apple has also reportedly threatened to remove Parler from its app store.
‘If they continue to ban everything that might be conservative they will soon lose much of their user base’, opined one disenfranchised web browser.
