Seems like a coordinated anti-trust action by the tech biggies involved.

How does one completely unplug from the collectivist Borg?


Namely phone, and search engine to begin with....


They run the entire indoctrination circus... Free speech be damned.

Why so you continue to try to participate in these political threads?

You don’t get downvoted because of your political leanings, you get roasted because all of your opinions are fricking retarded. It’s amazing how much effort you put into your multi paragraph word vomit posts yet still cannot made a single logical point.

Okay then ban the folks inciting violence instead of deplatforming


They won't ban folks from the Left who incite violence.

Their goal is to ban the right, then collude to destroy the platforms that don’t also ban the right.

Yeah, Elon should outcast his loyal purchasers(Dems) to support the trucknut parler crew who laugh at electric vehicles. Seems intelligent


I don’t have truck nuts, don’t laugh at electric vehicles, and think Musk is a visionary that isn’t particularly liberal.

Seems like something he’d do if for no other reason that “frick it, why not”

Did Terrence Williams really just get banned by Twitter using its glorifying violence rule for just posting about past violent actions by blm? I don’t think he was glorifying their violent actions.

If you're agreeing with OweO it is time to reevaluate your beliefs. She's a terrible person to have in your corner.

What is Parler promoting? If you're saying it's content, why are Maxine Watters and Liz Warren still on these platforms?

Kathy Griffin?

They are promoting a largely uncensored forum

I don't know how that's taking a stance on any issues. I think Democratic Underground and r/politics are full of batshit insane leftists but I support their right to exist.

This has nothing to do with "net neutrality." This is about a company that provides clients with a place to host stuff on the internet deciding what it wants to host.

"Net neutrality" was just some crap that would have kept ISPs from putting the screws to neckbeards trying to bogart their equipment with 4K tentacle hentai downloads.

So twitter is actually promoting chopping off Trumps head because Kathy Griffin posted it? Glad to see you, in all of your stupidity are as confused as everyone thinks you are. Is chicken promoting what i'm typing when I call you stupid or am I? Make up your mind.

and that's fine... I totally respect their right to promote that... just I totally respect Amazon's right to NOT carry Parler... see how that works? you CAN respect both instances to do what the hell they want to do, as BOTH are private companies, doing business with each other, or at least were, anyway...

and further more, what's your answer for this? again, keeping in mind these are private businesses, and not government entities... you want to force Amazon to carry Parler? and if so, how? through what means? only entity that could do something about that would be regulation by the government, and last I checked, Republicans hate that sort of thing, so what's your solution?

It's clearly political censorship. I may not want to force Amazon to host them but it sets a disturbing precedent, particularly considering big tech is left leaning so the censorship will all be one sided.

What are your thoughts on making a bakery bake a cake? What about one making people use the bathroom of their gender they were born as?
