Remember “If you don’t like Twitter’s rules, you are perfectly free to make your own platform”? I suppose we are perfectly free to make our own pocket computer

Remember “If you don’t like Twitter’s rules, you are perfectly free to make your own platform”? I suppose we are perfectly free to make our own pocket computers now, right?

These platforms exist for the purpose of capturing content that has been “deplatformed”. >Speak freely and express yourself openly, without fear of being “deplatformed” for your views. Engage with real people, not bots. Parler is people and privacy-focused, and gives you the tools you need to curate your Parler experience. Parler frontpage. They have no intention of creating a real alternative to Twitter. Lets be honest here, It's not like you can't have a conversation on Twitter either if your views are alternative. It's their hateful, harmful and offensive comments that will get them "deplatformed".

  You are twisting yourself into a logical pretzel to avoid answering. And no, harmful content does not get you deplatformed if it harms the right people: https://twitter.com/chineseembinus/status/1347247602094534658 https://twitter.com/chineseembinus/status/134724760209453465...

I suppose we are perfectly free to make our own pocket computers now, right? To be fair, there are legitimate efforts underway to do just that: https://puri.sm/products/librem-5/ https://puri.sm/products/librem-5/. More broadly, almost any unmoderated platform will, over time, degenerate. In real life, people tend to self-segregate by individual and community, and laws do delineate limits on speech (for example: the classic, "You can't yell 'fire' in a crowded theater)"): https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/freedom-speech/ https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/freedom-speech/

While you’re at it, you should create your own payment processor too, because Mastercard and Visa will refuse to accept payments for your racist pocket computers.

  Don't forget to create your own bank, because banks have begun engaging in deplatforming for political reasons as well.
