This move deprives the company of one of its best traffic-generators, as well as risking controversy and possible new regulation over the policy of ‘de-platforming’.

  • Similar concerns hit Apple (NASDAQ:) stock, which fell 1.2%, Alphabet (NASDAQ:) stock, down 0.5% and Amazon (NASDAQ:) stock, down 0.7%, after the tech giants all stopped their associations with Parler, a social messaging service linked with a significant user base among the right wing.
