Funny thing, I've said everything I want to say on Facebook and Twitter, and have never been censored. I'm not a Democrat. I post conservative stuff a lot of the time. So where is this censorship of which you speak? Oh, yeah - you can't incite riots or insurrection. Right. Got it. Can't have THAT censored now, can we?  4 million users can't log in. Their thoughts and words have been made to go down the memory hole at the whim of Apple, Google and Amazon. If they can, who ultimately can't? Well, you might need a Reichstag Fire first. Question, are you good with the seditionists inside the House and Senate? Aiding and abetting the attackers? That nut job Gosar's 3 siblings were rationally explaing how he is a seditionist and should be removed. trump is demonstrably nuts and dangerous. These are the people you support. Corporate America is sick of the insanity. they are pulling all the cash. You and Alometer are continually defending the lowest common denominators, and the biggest internal danger to America in the last 200 years. You both have orange stain all over you, especially in the oral area. |

You really are posting bull$#!+ just to be a contrarian now. Parler was a clear and present danger to the country. PERIOD. Free speech only goes so far. Allowing people to use their platform to recruit and plan an insurrection that led to 5 people killed and a lot more injured is criminal. Parler did nothing to stop it. They set up rules against that stuff, but didn't enforce them with any vigor. They did less than the minimum, and that's why they're gone. PARLER = CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER. Fire was over on the 6th. Trump conceded on the 7th and asked for calm. Parler was a clear and present danger only to Twitter and the tech monopolies You're a Fascist. You support people who use fear and violence for political gain. You may not realize it. There were plenty of Fascists in Nazi Germany who believed the lies that Hitler sold them. You may be a 'nice' Fascist. But you're still a Fascist. Stop defending Trump, Parler, and the insurrectionists. We are all collectively sick of it. |

Twitter and Facebook have been used to incite and organize protests that turned into riots with many lives lost, hundreds & hundreds injured, thousands of lives ruined, millions and millions in property damage and squat is done to those Section 230 protected platforms.
So Parler, along with Facebook, YouTube and others, are Section 230 platforms that were used to organize the Capitol Riot. Yet somehow only Parler is the problem.
When AOC plays the role of the FBI in this saga against Parler, I know at least things are "Clear". And that the crisis was over when the axes fell, Danger was not "Present" but retribution and opportunity was.
Every new user for Parler represented at least a long term threat to Apple, Google and Amazon both politically and financially. With Billions at stake and with political cover like never before, it was a no brainer and obvious.

What you're talking about is a false equivalence of epic proportions. How many people exactly do you think died from the BLM protests? You think the threat to the Capitol is somehow over? Because you're talking about BLM like it's on a scale of World War II, when right-wing agitators were a definite part of the issue, despite you flinging everything on Black people. You're trying to conflate multiple ideas that have no sensical reality to them. You're a far right-wing echo chamber. It's gross, honestly. |

Facebook and Twitter remove a ton of dangerous stuff HOURLY. If Parler moderated the way Facebook has Parler would still be online right now. Some people aren't willing to accept that. |

We are a mess right now because he bailed 2 months ago, knee capped every agency we have and is the worst (by about 100) president we have ever had. We are the most vulnerable to our adversaries than ever before. There is literally no coordination or leadership in our government right now. Because he pushed the right buttons for you, you were willing to see the whole of America go down the shitter. |

True per reporting. You wan't to let tech oligarchs perform politically biased digital censorship of others (see freedom of speech) at their whim, don't go for it. Funny thing, I've said everything I want to say on Facebook and Twitter, and have never been censored. I'm not a Democrat. I post conservative stuff a lot of the time. So where is this censorship of which you speak? I'll give you one example that is currently working its way through the courts. Candice Owens has been completely demonetized off Facebook. She was making over $1 million per month. They did it via their third party fact check system, with 2 fact-check-false ratings automatically demonetizing the account. Facebook was able to say they are completely content neutral and don't even do the fact-checking in-house. The trick is that Facebook has contracted fact-checkers that are almost across the board left-leaning outlets. Both of the posts of Candice Owens that were marked false were in fact objectively and provably true. Candice Owens has sued, NOT Facebook, but the third party fact checkers for defamation that has resulted in over $1 million per month in damages. The case is a slam dunk and one of the fact checkers immediately reversed the false rating and issued a public apology. Facebook amended their terms-of-use contract which you agree to if you simply log in to their site to now indemnify, or forbid suing, their third party fact checkers for fact check errors so no one can do what Candice Owens is doing. Oh, yeah - you can't incite riots or insurrection. Right. Got it. Yes you can. I have seen posts on Twitter calling for the assassination of Trump with a #KillTrump hashtag so people could find it. It may be down now as when it was discovered it caused a lot of noise but at the time it had been up for a week. I'm not about to check to see if it is live or not because I'm not dumb enough to type that into a search and land myself on a watch list. |

Geez, I could probably make 1 million a month on social media: Joe Biden has underage girls in his basement. He's keeping them as sex slaves for Antifa and Kamala Harris (who's gone Lez.). Meanwhile I'm giving out floor plans to each capitol of all 50 states at one a month... and its only going to cost you $2 a month to join. |

Hilarious and ironic that everyone you disagree with is “delusional”. Well, he's wrong (and obviously so). It has nothing to do with agreeing with me. But it should be a non-negotiable, non-idiotic position to denounce what happened at the Capitol. It should be a non-negotiable, obvious position to identify the role Parler had in people getting killed. Sorry, but if that's your path, yeah I'm going to call you out. I don't care what false equivalences can be drawn using hyperbole and alternative facts. It's not reality and it deserves to be quashed. If you want to compare BLM protests that had active involvement with both sides of the spectrum, fine. But the OP is clearly trying to frame a disingenuous and false argument, repeatedly. Hard pass on that. |

Violent overthrow of the government, including the murder of elected officials. With Facebook and Twitter it was recruitment for what was SUPPOSED TO BE non-violent protests. The fact that a bad element joined in the protests and took advantage of the situation doesn't change the fact that the intent was non-violent. The INTENT of the people using Parler to organize the insurrection was 100% violent - with murder being part of the plan. That is nowhere near the same thing. |

Facebook and Twitter remove a ton of dangerous stuff HOURLY. If Parler moderated the way Facebook has Parler would still be online right now. Some people aren't willing to accept that. Wait, you are trying to say that the pallets of bricks, the lasers, the incendiary devices, the sledge hammers, the pulling ropes, the gas masks, etc., etc., at the BLM/Antifa protests that ended in riots all arrived without coordination beforehand? They didn't have plans to injure Police with lasers? And they were all supposed to be peaceful sit-ins and didn't come ready for bear should counter protesters show? Please. In reality, there was plenty of pre-planning for mayhem using every means of communications available to them like cell phones, land lines, emails, Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat, etc. And at the violent riots, the MSM said it was just a small minority that detracted from the "mostly peaceful" protests (with the background aflame). I gather real terrorists might use Apple phones that encrypt their data (see the San Bernardino Terrorist). The reports from the initial arrests at the Capital, none were Parler users. Babbitt was using Twitter that day. So are you telling us real terrorists plan their attack on a public social media platform?  . The cause and effect of Parler moderation (or lack thereof) and violence at the Capitol is an entirely unsubstantiated claim. A guess at best. A pretext for censorship actually. I suppose you saw the release of the Twitter CEO telling staff he was after silencing Trump's account first with more actions to follow. en-volve.com/2021/01/14/undercover-video-released-shows-twitters-jack-dorsey-discussing-plans-for-political-censorship-of-the-right/Twitter acted on Trump and Parler soon boomed. Do you actually think that the left coast tech junta was just going to sit back and watch Trump tip toe on over to Parler without a fight (and a dirty fight, if needed)? Parler is collateral damage when Twitter lit the fuse. Its wrong even though you like it. But as it has always been with the left, the end justifies the means. |

I choose NOT to get my information from far left or far right sources. ...or center-right source, or center-left sources. As bad as your information is it appears you get it from talking to your toaster. Is that your secret inside source? If Parler were still online now the threat would be greater than it is. Based on what exactly? Is this another example of something your toaster said? As of yesterday they had yet to find a single arrested suspect who even had a Parler account. The investigation thus far has uncovered that virtually all organizing was done via Facebook and Zello as published in The Washington Post. The fact is Parler did a miniscule amount of moderation to remove dangerous material. Again, what is your source for this statement? With Parler and Amazon now engaged in a court battle we have real analytical information available. There were roughly 26,000 instances of content that potentially encouraged violence posted on Parler and only about 1,000 escaped moderation for more than 48 hours. There were far more instances of content calling for violence on Twitter up to and including calls for the assassination of the President that had gone unmoderated. The narrative that Parler is somehow responsible for the Capitol riot is at this point a lie. Early on it was speculation and rumor but investigations have begun and we have a clearer picture of what happened. I really want to know what your source is for continuing to post this misinformation. If Parler moderated the way Facebook has Parler would still be online right now. That is only true if you mean if Parler was moderated in such a way that it became an outlet for the left. Parler had developed their own AI content moderation package and were negotiating use of Amazon AWS's AI to moderate content when Amazon violated Parler's AWS contract to shut them down without providing 30 days notice to cure content defects. The likely truth is that Amazon shut down Parler to prevent it from gaining market share from Twitter (a huge Amazon AWS client) when Twitter banned Trump. Parler had rocketed to #1 on Apple as Twitter users stampeded to Parler and that was why they were shut down. It was also helped that Amazon's lefty staff demanded that Amazon drop Parler. The moderation of content excuse is just that. |

That is what I thought. You made it up. If you take Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey at his word, and I don’t think that I do, they were worried that banning Trump on Twitter would permanently split the internet between right and left factions. Taking down Parler was done to mitigate the potential damage by removing the obvious choice the right faction would choose to migrate to in response to the banning of Trump. The leadership of Google, Apple, Amazon, and Twitter were playing god, or at least social engineers who believed it their responsibility to control the behavior of Americans. |
