Foreign media reported that Parler, an SNS app used by many supporters of President Trump, has been removed from the Google Play store.
Major SNS suspends President Trump’s account
Big social networks Facebook and Twitter have suspended President Trump’s account in connection with President Trump’s supporters’ occupation of Congress.
Facebook has announced that it will suspend President Trump’s account indefinitely on January 7, local time, and Twitter has announced that it will permanently suspend his account on January 8, local time.
Twitter and Facebook attribute the account suspension to President Trump’s use of both companies’ SNS, which could encourage violence.
SNS that does not regulate the content
Reuters, a major overseas media, reported on January 8 local time that Google has removed the SNS app Parler from the Play Store.
Parler’s operating company attaches great importance to “free speech,” and Parler is known as an SNS that rarely deletes inappropriate posts called “moderation.”
Major SNS deletes posts and displays warnings when the content posted by users violates the rules, and President Trump’s tweets are often subject to regulation, such as warnings about posted content. It was.
According to Reuters, Parler doesn’t monitor or delete posts, so it’s heavily used by right-wingers and Trump supporters, and is undergoing radical political debate.
For example, in Washington State, there seems to be a post calling for one million people to arm and march.
Social unrest and tensions have increased in the United States after the congressional occupation, and Google has removed the app because Parler does not regulate improper content.
Please note that Apple has warned Parler to remove inappropriate posts within 24 hours, and the Parler app may also be removed from the App Store.
In the future, it is expected that there will be a backlash from Trump supporters who used the Parler app.
