(Reuters) – Apple Inc has threatened to remove Parler’s social networking service from the App Store unless the company changes its content moderation policy, Parler Chief Executive John Matze told Reuters on Friday.

Parler is a social network where many supporters of President Donald Trump have migrated after being banned from services such as Twitter Inc. to descend with weapons to Washington, DC after a mob stormed the Capitol building on Wednesday.

Apple declined to comment.
