So in the interest of balance, conservative leaning apps can get away with doing whatever they want now?
If left leaning apps permit the kind of violent talk that Parler does, by all means, ban those too.
- zadokshi 6y agoSo we are banning twitter then as well?
- TulliusCicero 6y agoNo. Twitter actually tries. It's no secret that Parler's ethos is largely anti-moderation, that was basically their whole brand and messaging, after all.
- jkepler 6y agoBut if one reads Parker's terms of service (TOS), they reserve the right to moderate illegal content, as well as claim unlimited global usage of any content uploaded to their platform. Thus while their ethos was largely anti-moderation, their TOS seems to put responsibility for their platform in their hands---at least in my non-lawyer eyes.
- TulliusCicero 6y agoRight, they have a bare minimum policy, but the Android and iOS app stores have apparently higher standards for moderation that they require apps to abide by. Which completely makes sense -- when you get an app from an app store, its content partially reflects on the store itself.
