Anything allowed on the Parler network, but not in the iOS app, will remain accessible through our web-based and Android versions. This is a win-win for Parler, its users, and free speech.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>For more information, read the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-parler-apple\/parler-returns-to-apples-app-store-names-new-ceo-idUSKCN2CY1VT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">original story<\/a> in Reuters.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Parler makes its return to the Apple App Store.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5640","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-social-networks"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5640","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5640"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5640\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5682,"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5640\/revisions\/5682"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5640"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5640"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5640"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
