Parler, the social networking site popular with conservatives and members of the far right, is relaunching on the App Store next week. Apple suspended the platform in January for failing to comply with its content moderation policies.
In a statement late Monday afternoon, Parler said it worked with Apple to implement several new changes to its app that will detect and ban posts not considered protected speech by the First Amendment. But Parler added that those posts will still be visible on the platform's website and Android version of the app. "Parler has and will always be a free and open forum where users could engage in the free exchange of ideas in the full spirit of the First Amendment," Parler's Interim CEO Mark Meckler said. "We have worked to put in place systems that will better detect unlawful speech and allow users to filter content undesirable to them, while maintaining our strict prohibition against content moderation based on viewpoint."More Related News
