What a brilliant idea, if this trend continues conservatives soon be forced to move to darknet forums/social networks that doesn't even try to remove content encouraging violence.
Yet this was never a problem and still isn’t anywhere else except in the context of Trump supporters. Radical left wing terrorist groups and openly violent people are directly getting funded and praised by the owners of these platforms not only tolerated.
Or, fuck them for choosing to work for a company that at best is a racist cesspool and at worst is abetting an attempt to steal an election. Every single thing that has happened with Parler was foreseeable and forseen on the day it was announced. It was never about free speech, and everyone knew that.

I'm half-joking, half-serious, but I'm not sure which half is which at this point...
As a gen-xer all of this incessant labeling is so bizarre.
Make your own social media service, they said. Where does this end? What's the endgame?
Did anyone here actually use Parler? I installed it, and as a new user the default experience is basically a Twitter clone, but with only prominent right wing celebrities like Sean Hannitty. I didn’t see any hateful trending topics here. My personal opinion is that it seems Parler is getting somewhat screwed here. Sure, maybe there was some hateful content somewhere, but it certainly wasn’t being promoted to new user…
The AWS ban will most likely end this company. Anyone who pops up to replace Parler will eventually face the same scrutiny and fate. Ultimately, my personal opinion is that the Parler ban is a tremendously good thing for the world. The people who are subject to being radicalized by social media are less likely to become radicalized if they are not exposed to content. Removing Parler removes the content; this will reduce the radicalization.
If you think that the typical conspiracy theorist on Parler is capable of critical thinking, you're mistaken.
If people on an app continually call for violence and violate your TOS you can boot them off. Especially if the app in question has no good faith moderation of content to meet your terms of service and their terms of service are either lacking or wink wink levels of enforcement. You can have ANY political perspective you want! Lower taxes, raise taxes, immigration policy, school choice, charter schools WHATEVER! You…
No is just the rich elites who fear getting the rope (which they know its deserved)
Liberal vs conservative is just divide and conquer
> If Apple, Google, Facebook and Twitter were acting in concert to raise prices, everyone would be up in arms. But acting in concert to repress speech, no big deal. Aren’t civil liberties supposed to be more important than money? [1] [1] - https://twitter.com/DavidSacks/status/1347961063707471873
