Parler responded to a Newsweek query about when it planned to relaunch with a statement announcing it plans to be back on the iOS app store the week of April 26, 2021.

CNN obtained a copy of Apple’s letter, which was addressed to GOP Sen. Mike Lee of Utah and GOP Rep. Ken Buck of Colorado. It read, in part, “Apple anticipates that the updated Parler app will become available immediately upon Parler releasing it.”

The letter further indicated that on April 14 Apple’s app review team informed Parler that it could reinstall the platform to the iOS store.

“The timing of steps taken against the Parler social network by your companies and that the actions seem to lack any of the procedural fairness typically afforded in the case of an alleged breach of contract create the appearance of close coordination,” they wrote in the letter.

Today, Buck tweeted the news of Apple’s decision, praising it as a “[h]uge win for free speech.”

On March 22, the co-founder and former CEO of Parler sued the platform over his firing this year. John Matze claims Parler’s leadership intimidated him and forced his ouster and still owed millions of dollars. His lawsuit claims breach of contract and defamation and names Parler investor Rebekah Mercer; Chief Operating Officer Jeffrey Wernick; interim CEO Mark Meckler; and right-wing personality Dan Bongino as defendants.

In the statement provided to Newsweek about its relaunch, Parler’s interim CEO Mark Meckler announced the platform will “put in place systems that will better detect unlawful speech and allow users to filter content undesirable to them.”

Meckler also said in the statement: “This company was started as a non-partisan and pro-First Amendment alternative to other social media platforms, and we will continue to allow our users to freely share ideas and expression, consistent with the protections of the First Amendment and without viewpoint censorship or determination.”

Update (6:00 pm): This story has been further updated with a statement from Parler regarding when it plans to relaunch on the iOS app store.
