- macinjosh 6y agoWhen did Trump encourage murder? This is hyperbole.
- mahastore 6y agoWho said anything about Trump? Just so you haven't noticed Trump is not that important anymore.

- macinjosh 6y agoWho said anything about Trump being important?
- mahastore 6y agoLets agree to agree on this.
- jimmydorry 6y agoAgreed, but like it or not, he is the flagship of this wave of censorship. His ban was the first shot over the bow by the social media giants, if you will.
- kristofferR 6y agoHe tweeted that he wouldn't be at Biden's inauguration, a clear sign that it was okay to attack it. /s Seriously, that was Twitter's argument for why they banned him... https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/company/2020/suspension.html https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/company/2020/suspensio...
- santoshalper 6y agoWe're talking about parler getting booted off AWS, what are you talking about?

- ryanSrich 6y agoI really don’t understand this mentality. Why wouldn’t you want this publicly available? You really want domestic terrorists functioning underground? Not only does this prevent people from seeing and judging and debating such an idea, but it also creates a precedent for a stronger surveillance state.
- skygazer 6y agoSo Amazon, Apple and Google should intentionally keep Parler around as a honeypot to snag right wing terrorists and the rest of society should just pretend we don’t know how they keep getting arrested?
- ryanSrich 6y agoI think Amazon, Apple and Google should rely on the authorities to tell them what can and can’t legally be present on their platform. If something is already clearly illegal, then sure, take action immediately, but there has not been any mention of what Parler is allowing to be illegal. If it’s deemed illegal then I fully support deplatforming.
- lostcolony 6y agoBut, per your original post, wouldn't deplatforming then just be pushing it underground again? While letting it get to the point the ideas can spread and radicalize others?
- ryanSrich 6y agoI think once you’re to the point that something is illegal you’re fringe enough to where the threat is very small. There’s a big difference in the size of groups that say “we should do X” and people actually leaving their houses and “doing X”.
- lostcolony 6y agoBut the people saying "we should do X" help create the ones "doing X". When the crazy action you're contemplating also gets social acceptance and support from a group of like-minded people, all calling for it to be done, it stops seeming so crazy.
- paulnechifor 6y agoThere are tweets from 2016 calling for Trump's assassination. When is Apple going to take down the Twitter app? Here's just a search I did now: https://twitter.com/hashtag/assassinatetrump https://twitter.com/hashtag/assassinatetrump
