Apple and Amazon have suspended social app parlors from their App Store and web hosting service for failing to stop provocative posts.
According to the British news agency Reuters, the two companies told Sancher in a statement that "the popular social networking service among right-wing users has not taken appropriate steps to stop the provocative posts."
Like Apple and Amazon, Google suspended the app on Friday
The parlor app is very popular among supporters of US President Donald Trump, whose Twitter account has been permanently blocked. The parlor is seen as a haven for people evicted from Twitter.
"We have suspended the parlor from our App Store until it resolves these issues," Apple said in a statement issued Saturday.
Apple gave the parlor 24 hours to present a moderate plan and identify those who used its service to besiege Capital on Wednesday.
Following Amazon's decision, the parlor will remain offline until it finds a new company to host the service.
Amazon has suspended the parlor from the Amazon Web Service for violating its Terms of Service.
The parlor was told in an email by the Amazon Web Services Trust and Safety team that it had failed to properly address the issue of permanent increase in violent content.
On the other hand, John Matze, chief executive of the parlor, has criticized Amazon, Google and Apple. He says it was a concerted effort, knowing it would limit parlor options. He added that it would do the most harm because Trump has been banned from other social media as well.
