BOGUS: Big Tech Giants That Banned Parler Mum on Whether TikTok Should Be Banned

The leftist Big Tech giants that waged a political vendetta against Parler when each banned the app from their platforms are now silent on whether or not the communist Chinese government-tied TikTok app should be banned.

Given the wave of growing concerns about TikTok, MRC Free Speech America staff reached out to Apple and Google, the two companies that banned the free speech app Parler from their app stores following the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot. Apple later restored Parler back onto its app store in April 2021 and Google followed suit nearly two years after the initial ban in September 2022. Both app stores, however, continue to host TikTok, even in the face of glaring national security and data security red flags.

MRC Free Speech America asked Apple and Google whether TikTok should be banned from the U.S. for being a national security risk. Neither of the Big Tech companies provided comment as of the publication of this story. In Apple’s case, it not only didn’t respond to an email request for comment from MRC but a representative from Apple claimed on the phone that the company gives no comments to any journalist that doesn’t pay Apple for special “press credentials.”

Well, Google is CIA.

Current CIA posture seems to favor Communist Red China infiltration into the American information and social media arena.

Not sure why that is but there is a high correlation with the Brandon Crime family receipts of cash from Communist Red China.

I could certainly reason that many of the “tech” companies are also in bed with the CCP and they are just hoping the contagion of shutting down those who collude with the CCP doesn’t spread to their honeypot.
