Apple has suspended Parler, a conservative social media service, from its App Store, saying the app’s owner hasn’t done enough to deal with threats of violence on the platform.“We have always supported diverse points of view being represented on the App Store, but there is no place on our platform for threats of violence and illegal activity,” Apple said in a statement Saturday.“Parler has not taken adequate measures to address the proliferation of these threats to people’s safety.” Yesterday, BuzzFeed News reported Apple had written to Parler saying there had been complaints that the platform had been used to plan and coordinate the attack on the U.S.
Capitol on Wednesday.In response, Apple had given the service 24 hours to make sure its controls were in order, BuzzFeed News said.Parler reportedly submitted some changes but apparently Apple didn’t think they went far enough.
Apple said the suspension of Parler will last “until they resolve these issues.” Google on Friday suspended Parler from its Google Play app store until it addresses a lack “robust moderation for egregious content.” Google said it took the action “in light of this ongoing and urgent public safety threat” referring to Wednesday’s attack.Share this: Upbit Is the Seventh Major Crypto Exchange Hack of 2019 Nov 27, 2019 at 22:02 UTCUpdated Nov 27, 2019 at 22:04 UTCUpbit Is the Seventh Major Crypto Exchange Hack of 2019The recent Upbit hack is a stark reminder of the danger of storing your crypto on an exchange.We explored seven major hacks that happened this year, each one bolder than the last.The lesson?… Coinbase Brokered MicroStrategy’s $425M Bitcoin Purchase, Exchange Sats Dec 1, 2020 at 12:00 p.m.UTCUpdated Dec 1, 2020 at 12:41 p.m.UTCLOW KEY: MicroStrategy, led by Michael Saylor (left), hired Brian Armstrong’s Coinbase to help it buy large quantities of BTC without moving the market.(Getty Images/CoinDesk archives)Coinbase Brokered MicroStrategy’s $425M Bitcoin Purchase, Exchange SaysU.S.cryptocurrency platform Coinbase facilitated MicroStrategy’s $425 million bitcoin buy… Inside Bitewei: The $20 Million Bitcoin Miner Being Hailed as a Bitmain Rival Things haven’t been easy of late for Bitmain.After CoinDesk revealed the China-based crypto mining giant was planning an initial public offering (IPO) for September, the company has faced a wave of perhaps unprecedented scrutiny.
