Apple removes social media app, Wimkin, from the App Store

Apple has removed social media app, Wimkin, from the App Store, according to The Wall Street Journal. Wimkin describes itself as a “free speech social networking” platform with “uncensored social media.”

The Wall Street Journal says Apple suspended Wimkin on Tuesday over content that included calls for a civil war and the arrest of Vice President Mike Pence, according to Wimkin founder Jason Sheppard and records of his correspondence with Apple.

Sheppard Thursday that Wimkin’s small team removed dozens of posts and a group attempting to organize a “Million Militia March” at President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration next week. “Once it was reported to us, we took care of it,” he told The Wall Street Journal.
