- konjin 6y agoSo why haven't they banned twitter for hosting Chinese government accounts?
- babelfish 6y agoCan you link me to a Chinese government official’s Twitter account calling for an insurrection in the United States while spewing derogatory hate speech against minorities?
- jpxw 6y agoIf I had a dollar for every time someone made this point... The issue isn’t whether they have the right to deplatform. The issue is whether they _should_.
- babelfish 6y agoOf course they should. Why shouldn’t they remove platforms that almost solely contain hate speech and insurrectionist content? Half the stuff said on Parler could constitute a hate crime, and frankly, they should have been removed from the App Store/Play Store ages ago.
- klmadfejno 6y agoI would agree. I don't think apple should be allowed to prevent side loading. And certainly not accessing things from email. But by all means, if you're running a curated store of apps, don't sell tickets to the white supremacist show

- babelfish 6y agoThat should clearly also be removed.
