I see this as a similar move when Microsoft successfully in killing off their competitor.. Netscape. Its not about Democrats vs Republicans... its business.
Apple is big tech, but so is Amazon, and both have been politicized, and shut down Parler. Which is why the left will not pick sides. If they came out against Zuckerberg, who hates Trump, it might look like they are siding with conservatives and Trumpests.

Ok... so this thread is about FB and Apple.... both big tech.

Can't fit your narrative so you want steer the discussion towards Parler vs Amazon.

Its really just business.... but I doubt you can see that clearly.

Why the snark, why make this personal and insult me? Are you incapable of reasoned discussion?

No insult intended.... just pointing out the deflection and the obvious point that its just business not some political motive (parler maybe but that's not the topic here).

This might be wishful thinking but I hope Microsoft follows Apple's lead and creates similar changes for Windows based systems.
