But that was not the whole point of Parler.
Google has taken parler off the android play store.

I'm not sure how I feel about that. It seems like a bit much.
It really comes down to one thing Apple and Google will not allow on their platform.
Porn.
Facebook and Twitter outright ban it and have a strong moderation effort to keep it off their sites.
Parler doesn't. Until they change that, they are going to remain banned.
Twitter does not outright ban porn. They do not ban porn at all, and do not have strong moderation efforts against it. You have Twitter mixed up with Tumblr. The only reason Tumblr banned porn was because Apple pulled the Tumblr app. Apple pulled the Tumblr app because Tumblr was infested with child porn. If you do not believe me about Twitter, Google "Twitter porn" and then click on any of the links. Even PornHub has a porn clips acct.
Parler is not banned for porn.
Yeah, I got those two mixed up.
It's a double standard for sure, but porn is certainly a part of why Parler is getting the ban. The threats of violence and hate speech is the other of course.
Parler is certainly more porn friendly than Twitter is. That likely has both tech giants looking at them with a more critical eye.
I do not know why you think Parler is more porn friendly than Twitter, or that porn had anything to do with Apple and Google pulling their apps right now. Every article about it mentions inciting violence and the riots, none of them mention porn.
Parler is more porn friendly because Twitter requires that porn is marked as adult so users can block it. Parler doesn't, and so it's harder to avoid on there.
Porn is a huge deal with both Apple and Google, there is no way they aren't taking that into consideration. Of course the news is focused on the riots, but being porn friendly isn't doing Parler any favors.
I have no idea where you get your information from, but Parler and Twitter have the same guidelines for porn. Twitter has thousands of porn accts, and are extremely porn friendly! Apple cares about porn on its apps, and always have. You'll have to show me some evidence that Google has ever cared about porn.
