Google suspending Parler from the Google Play store

Re: Google suspending Parler from the Google Play store
#232Here is my suggestion for Parler’s new moderation plan, which is what at least Apple is demanding: 1. Illegal content is not allowed. That’s it.
Illegal content is allowed even in hacker news.

#233Wow, is this the great purge? I don’t support certain people, but man I don’t think this is going to end well. This censorship just seems crazy to me.
I seriously can't identify with this viewpoint. There's no censorship here- parler still exists, people are still free to share their (abhorrent) viewpoints there, Google is just choosing not to amplify the voices of people that have proven themselves capable of and prone to violence. All the pearl-clutching over free speech is totally overblown.

Did the BLM riots promote sedition? That's probably why. Also worth noting that there was no property damage or injuries in more than 97 to 98% of protests[1] [1]: https://today.uconn.edu/2020/10/study-2020-protests-shows-di...
Yes. Chaz?
Wrong capitol hill.

I'm curious why so many Democrats were allowed to encourage the BLM riots (more than 25 dead, $2 billion in property damage) without so much as a peep from Google, Twitter, Facebook or any other tech giant. Kamala Harris said "they should not stop" and helped with a bail fund for the people who were involved with them. I think protest is a fundamental requirement of democracy, and as Chris Cuomo himself reminded us:…

Well, they did takeover Seattle City Hall and demand the mayor resigns. Sounds like sedition to me?

Just a cursory glance on Twitter finds the same kind of unmoderated content but towards conservatives. Two wrongs don't make a right. But let's not act like these platforms are bastions of fair moderation. They are leftist corporatists, tried and true.

#237Being stupid shouldn't mean you don't get to participate in society.
Being willfully stupid and spreading that stupidity until it turns to violence should though.
(where "participate in society" means being allowed on some/most social media)

It's almost like there was some sort of catalyst event that occurred very recently that would provoke such a response. /s

I don’t think Kamala Harris said “don’t stop rioting”, I think she meant “don’t stop protesting”. And the bail fund is ostensibly for people who were unfairly arrested, which happened quite a lot.
I don’t think Democrats should paint all Republicans with the same brush, and vice versa.

#239Good riddance.

I’m going to lend your neighbours a huge sound system so they can use their free speech to play the darkest industrial techno outside your door at 4am. I’m obviously joking, but would it be okay for me to use my platform this way? If not, why not?
Or you could simply not install Parler.
