Apple and Amazon Move to Cut Off Parler After Capitol Riot

Apple removed Parler from its app store on 9 January 2021, following Google's suspension, and Amazon told the social network it would end its web hosting. The companies cited failures to remove content encouraging violence after the US Capitol riot. Amazon's suspension took effect late on 10 January, and Parler was inaccessible the next morning. App-store and hosting providers could cut off a platform's distribution and operation together.
