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. https://twitter.com/CustomsFatman/status/1163877317208264705?s=20 https://twitter.com/CustomsFatman/status/1163877317208264705... https://twitter.com/kxxtcxcxxnx/status/1322190172872712192?s=20 https://twitter.com/kxxtcxcxxnx/status/1322190172872712192?s... https://twitter.com/AlmightyBoob/status/97830880193691649?s=20 https://twitter.com/AlmightyBoob/status/97830880193691649?s=...

Your first tweet is actually from a trump supporter, his timeline is filled with #stopthesteal and other non sense. Weird choice. https://twitter.com/CustomsFatman https://twitter.com/CustomsFatman

  Not sure how that matters, the content of the tweet still invokes violence.

    You dont think a trump supporter tweeting "Let's just execute all right wing conservatives and get it over with!" as a reply to someone else (another trump supporter) matters? Its almost as if you just searched for the phrase execute all conservatives but didn't actually read any of them.

        My argument is pretty basic, why would I report a conservative tweeting at another conservative "Let's just execute all right wing conservatives and get it over with!"? They're obviously not conspiring to commit violence against conservatives.

        Exactly, my point.

        I know it's painful but let it be.

  It's not a weird choice, as it still shows that merely being able to find calls for violence is not sufficient for banning an app.

    This is about moderation efforts, not content. Apple/Google think Twitter has good enough responses to reported violations. Since content isn’t premoderated it’s obvious that it will always be some of that content. The banning of this app isn’t because there are death threats but because Parler couldn’t present a moderation strategy to uphold their own ToS.

      >Apple/Google think Twitter has good enough responses to reported violations. Maybe, or maybe they just don't like Parler. I'm skeptical whether a serious attempt to clean up violent speech would ever satisfy these platforms, especially when what constitutes violent speech is determined by people who are extremely ideologically hostile and uncharitable towards you (eg. see how Twitter construed Trump's last tweets.) But we'll never know because I don't expect such a reform effort to be made.
