They don’t. Anyone can post anything on their own website. In Trump’s case he can call a press conference.

> They don’t. Anyone can post anything on their own website. Anyone but Trump or the banned-wagon. If Trump hosts a website on GoDaddy or any other hosting service, it will be removed immediately. > In Trump’s case he can call a press conference. Depends where it can be streamed. Given he's just been de-platformed from most streaming services for the general folk. CSPAN perhaps? Sure the media will do it but they can…

>Remember when people said "it's only extremists like Alex Jones" and "white nationalists", yeah well now Twitter has banned the president of the United States. The president of the United States is in fact an extremist like Alex Jones and a white nationalist.

Again, I want to be clear here that my defence of Trump isn't because I support him, I don't. That said, I don't know how he can be an extremist given he received such huge support from the American public twice. He's called both a populist and an extremist, which seems - at least to me - to be an oxymoron. I guess I also don't know why I should think he's a white nationalist? Could you expand on why you think that?

It's not a ridiculous argument at all, Cloudflare already did it because the CEO "woke up this morning in a bad mood and decided to kick them off the Internet" [1]. AWS is reportedly considering banning Parler. If this trend continues we'll soon have a completely balkanized internet where everyone lives in their own bubble and is banned from posting their viewpoints in the opposite bubble.

These comments are hilarious, because people on the right vastly overestimate the size of their presence on the web. The traffic parler generates for AWS is a rounding error. It's like complaining about shutting down the old chuck e cheese on the interstate.

Now you’re just helplessly denying. I just want to remind you that you’re free to change your opinion, no one will think less of you if you do. I’ve done it before, it can be pretty exciting to turn your world around and re-evaluate things every now and then.

I'm willing to change my opinion as soon as someone provides me some evidence that this was actually a coup, and not a riot that's being inflated to order to justify sweeping authoritarianism.
