Pressure on Big Tech from Republicans is working

Published



The recent pressure on Big Tech from Republicans is working, and they should keep it up.

On Monday, Apple announced that it will allow Parler back on its App Store. Apple’s decision comes in response to a letter sent a few weeks ago by Colorado Republican Rep. Ken Buck and Utah Republican Sen. Mike Lee to Apple, Google, and Amazon over their treatment of Parler in the wake of the events on Jan. 6 at the Capitol. They demanded answers on whether the companies handled Parler’s suspensions differently from their usual review processes and whether they coordinated at all in their actions. The congressmen got more than an answer; they got a reversal of Apple’s decision.
