It's pretty scary to think Amazon could shut down a company essentially renting compute and space in their data centers because they disagree with them politically.


So it’s one thing to have differing opinions on estate taxes and how to run the USPS.... it’s entirely different to be plotting attacks on the government.

I think they should have a right to have platforms moderate the latter out in some meaningful matter. Not unlike the recent porn debates on parler where I don’t care if they have nudity but need a policy/procedures to keep the child porn screened as well as reasonably possible on a massive platform like that.

Twitter, FB, and IG helped plot attacks against the government for 4 straight months in 2020 and they did nothing to prevent those incidents. This is where the rub lies. They don't apply their TOS equally yet they claim the moral high ground every time.

People keep saying this but who’s going to fight it? And what’s the end game?

No answers.


Well historically most civil wars are fought by a very small percentage of the population. It doesn't take a lot to get one going either. All the tinder is there just waiting for the right spark to light the fire.

This recent event was more akin to the Boston Tea Party then the Boston Massacre. But it won't take much for enough "aggrieved" people to start a fight. And right now the Left is going into maximum overdrive on trying to crush everything on the right. That will only validate those who believe a fight is the only way.

The open coup attempt (muh Russia impeachment) was pushed by all media.

The riots throughout 2020 were lauded by Twitter and FB. Always referred to as protests.

The cop killing celebrations in 2016 were perfectly fine with Twitter and FB.

Only a leftist can’t acknowledge the double standard.

Parler is the primary Twitter competitor.




Just because they provide the same service, they were hardly a competitor. Check the numbers.

And these companies can do whatever they want. Its not illegal to remove apps. Social media isn't free speech, it just allows people to post material. As a company they have a right to decide what material they allow.

Like I said earlier.. Before social media, was everyone's freedom of speech being censored because they didn't have a platform to instantly spread their message to a lot more people?

What happened on Wednesday was planned on Parler. 4chan is still up.. It is known for all the crazy shite that is posted on there.. But it didn't promote storming the Capitol and breaking into it to disrupt approving election results.

Trump has continued to say the election was rigged, without any evidence, there is audio of him trying to get Georgia's SOS to "find votes". He has loyal followers who will do anything he says and look at the shite storm that happened. It was embarrassing. And wanting to storm the Capitol in order to disrupt part of the election process in order to try to fight for your candidate to be put in office is a terrorist act.

Thats shite that happens in fricked up middle east countries.

Conservative Twitter users were fleeing Twitter for Parler and they were the only social media alternative. So...yes they are a competitor and they were very quickly gaining market share.

Well those companies are protected by the government as a platform that does not "regulate/censor" speech. They are 100% violating the legal protections provided by the government right now. And yes social media 100% is free speech. I wish you idiots would figure this out. They are the modern town square or college quad, it is just in a digital world.

And what happend over the last 12 months was planned and coordinated on Twitter. Not to mention all other terrorists and despotic world leaders who still use Twitter, including to make threats to the united states.

So what? That's his belief. Stacey Abrams still says the GA election was rigged and she still hasn't conceded.

Thats shite that has been happening in our country for well over a year and you just ignored it.

I can't believe this is even real life.

Won't even let us have an alternative social media platform.

You already have it. It's been removed for anyone new to get it.

At least that is how I interpret it being removed from Google Play.

I went ahead and downloaded it now while I still can on iOs.
