This has to be some kind of antitrust issue right? Parler is the predominant Twitter competitor. The people censored from Twitter have moved there over the past few years.

This was a move to protect Twitter and censor non progressive views.



The letter to Parler from Apple with examples of issues Apple felt should be removed looked to linked to using Twitter links (not tco short links but full Twitter links). It just seemed strange they would not link to existing posts directly on Parler and worse they used social media competitor’s links.

Apple App Store has a fake “Parlor” app as well.

And I bet the “Conservatives” in congress will do nothing.

I really do hate Republicans in congress more than Democrats.

Even though I hate every thing the Dems stand for at least they have a spine and willing to fight for their beliefs.

TrumpCult is getting out of hand and it has obviously become dangerous. People lost there lives at the Capitol due to lies and manipulation. Just about everyone is bailing on that coward. Trump bailed on America months ago! Who does he have left defending him besides Rudy, his family, alternate news networks, and supporters he has isolated from reality??? I called all of this many months ago. Twitter and other platforms finally had enough and they didn’t want blood on their hands.
Conspiracy theories have been mostly harmless and even fun to debate but things have changed. The Cult leader in chief just lead a group of decent Americans to attack our Capitol and the seat of our Democracy. Trump has effectively isolated millions of people from reality. Cult leaders isolate, instill fear, and tell you that they are the only person who can keep you safe from harm. They tell you to remove everything and anyone that opposes their views from you life. Look at the parallels between Trump, Jim Jones, David Koresh, and L. Ron Hubbard among others... Do we really believe that all of those people gassing the Jews were born evil??? Hell, Islamic extremists aren’t born hating America.They were manipulated and isolated by a charismatic leader, religion, or insulated group of friends. They drank the cool aid. Germany does its best to keep that portion of history in a dark place because they are embarrassed and ashamed of it. In the future I believe America and its citizens will look back at this President and be ashamed. We should all be ashamed now but it will take some time to get a safe distance from all of this. Call me crazy or a Libtard but this has nothing to do with politics or rights to me. Trump’s term and especially the past year have been a lesson in Psychology. It’s impossible to say that after 4 years Trump has made America “Great Again”. We and this country have our faults but what was so terrible about it before he showed up?

You’d have a hard time winning a lawsuit that theses companies are unfairly requiring a process for moderating actual threats against the government and organizing violence. This isn’t your average conservative being targeted by this.

I am 100% against this move and censorship of any opposing ideas.

But realistically, in this political climate, the optics would not have been there to get this far if you didn't have loonies out there (Lin and others) literally not figuratively threatening to kill the sitting VP (and others).

Also, the fricking president basically whipping up his fringe supporters to the point where they took acrion leading to actual deaths and the physical overtaking of our capital.

Without these fricking nut jobs, this would have never happened. Again, not saying it should have or that it's justified by any means.

Unintended consequences coming home to roost from utter insanity.
