They don’t even have power yet, and they are censoring all dissenting viewpoints. They are acting quick to censor/cancel/destroy opposing political views. To all the new “posters” that are coincidentally leftists, how do you justify it? Is free speech only reserved for liberals?

You won’t receive anything but snarky, sophomoric, and sarcastic responses.

People that support censorship aren’t liberal by any stretch.

Agreed, yesterday's liberal is today's progressive.

There are very few actual liberals right now.

There are plenty of them around. Most just don’t vote Democrat anymore.

private companies are censoring people because it loses those private companies money.

You actually can say whatever you want. The federal government isn't going to stop you. That's free speech. You just cant say whatever you want on twitter because twitter isn't owned by the government, it's owned by twitter.

Just like the government shouldnt be able to make a bakery make cakes for gay couples, it can't make twitter have anyone say anything on twitter.

If you think that twitter or parler is a protected place for you to speak, then you are just as dumb as people who thought facebook wouldn't use your pics or info to sell for advertising.

If you like what the president or Lin Wood is saying, then you can make your own twitter and let them say whatever they want for as long as you want.

There is no "they"


Grow up.

How’s this?

The minute righties lose power, they spread disinformation in an attempt to subvert a free and fair election. Oh, ... almost forgot - they storm the US Capitol and in an attempt to kidnap and possibly kill a branch of government.

How’d I do?

Yes.

But I will check with Q first.

You know, just to be sure he isn't planning something big first.

incitement of violence is quelled as much as possible because it is illegal in this country.

Guess what else? They don’t even have power yet, its happening on its own. hmmm?

Not a leftist, but some social media outlets blocked one very, very influential man from inciting a rebellion based on unproven alligations. I think they were trying to help save lives and prevent further violence. I haven't seen other conservative blocked.

you have a very limited understanding of freedom of expression. you are dumb bc you are a liberal. freedom of expression is not just an expressed constitutional right. It was an ideal 100's of years before the constitution was written.

If you think that was an actual insurrection, you are literally too dumb to insult or even correspond with.

The Authoritarian Left is the term I use. There are no classic liberals in that party anymore.

Parler is a hacked Wordpress instance. There are "make your own twitter clone" tutorials everywhere. You can even just use a free and federated system like Mastodon and Peertube if you want.

Nobody has a valid complaint against getting kicked off a social network. They're all privately owned and can do what they want with their infrastructure. You agree to their terms of service when you sign up for their product. If anyone wants to be a ridiculous Qtard or whatever it takes to draw the ire of those companies, there are other options available.

People are upset because they've lost reach that only exists because of how these platforms are maintained and moderated. Zuck and Dorsey are upset because they're about to lose hundreds of millions of dollars in lawsuits and fees because they tolerated that idiocy for that long.

There have been several. Flynn was one. And then you have google play and apple trying to remove Parler.
