I'm guessing partly at least due to him still referring to his supporters as "American patriots" after they attempted an insurrection has something to do with it.Was there a tweet from this afternoon that triggered the suspension?

I didn't expect this one. Banning conservative media just as they begin to flee to it in mass. Shutting down their speech entirely is a bold move. Risky too. Speech is the only outlet to belay violent acts. It is civil discourse, however dangerous and uncivil it may be. To hunt down and attack convservative outlets, to banish the bubble itself is VERY bold.
- Apple Has Threatened To Ban Parler From The App Store
- The social networking app favored by conservatives has been given 24 hours to institute a moderation policy.
Also too little, too late. The religion exists. They will find a way.
Americans live in interesting times.

You know what he's gonna do, right? He'll summon adulation, just like he's done since he threw his hat in the ring in 2015-16. He'll manage somehow to have rallies and stoke his ego, it's ointment for the wounds he's been suffering, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram accounts yanked from him, the 2nd impeachment proceedings. That's your next 12 days.
LOL, I can imagine him sitting on the throne early Sunday morning, phone in hand with multiple "rejected, account banned" coming up as he desperately tries to post.Excellent news that I've been hoping for for months. This drives another stake in the heart of the wretch's plans to run in 2024. Now, if he can be impeached and a majority approves in the Senate, HE CANNOT RUN.
Yes, best news since Tuesday's runoff.
They just took away the baby's toy. He's gotta be smarting!
I wonder, the reason given is the danger of more violence being incited, based on recent activity on the account. Has he been inciting violence since Wednesday, say for the inauguration?
Are you sure this is true? Guess I'll find out on TV news tonight.
Honestly, I will not shed a tear if I hear that he's kicked the bucket. Don't know for sure, but I'm not anticipating feeling sorry for this guy. He's reaping what he's sown. I'd just as soon hear that he's penniless and walking the streets, but it's not gonna happen.No doubt his team is planning some sort of farewell tour to salvage what they can of his sanity. But at this point, after the election loss, subsequent legal failures, and the insurrection blowback...any more damage could put him in a death spiral. I mean, his brand is already shot to shit. Trump = Treason. Who the hell wants to live in Trump Tower now??
Losing his audience would be the final straw. What happens when he becomes irrelevant, and Hannity and Tucker stop taking his calls??

Apple, Google, Twitter, etc... are under no obligation to provide a forum for speech that runs counter to their terms of service. Just like you can choose who can and cannot speechify on your property, they can do the same for their property.I didn't expect this one.

He's addicted to his Twitter account. Not having that has got to feel like a sock in the gut for him. How the mighty have fallen. His staff are like sailors jumping off a large sinking ship, swimming as fast as they can to keep from being pulled down with the stricken vessel. He must be going nuts. The people who haven't fled must be looking at him with pity.LOL, I can imagine him sitting on the throne early Sunday morning, phone in hand with multiple "rejected, account banned" coming up as he desperately tries to post.
If they can't plot, they can't execute. If they can plot, the FBI can find out. They aren't exactly clueless.Apple and Google should continue to allow Parler a platform so that the FBI can keep a detailed list of Republicans and Terrorists (redundant terms, I know) who are OPENLY PLOTTING violence and treason.
Shutting down Parler is counterproductive.
Apple is threatening to ban Parker for not moderating content that threatens violence.
hahahahahaha
Good news is maybe he’ll finally get work done without distraction
