I guess my issue with this is while I can understand the reasoning, isn’t the logical conclusion to this that the entire chain of technology involved in communication tools today theoretically can provide each company involved a veto based on what those bits are causing on humans? If your CPU detects hate speech, should it be able to shut down and refund your money? If your operating system does? I understand there is a line somewhere apparently around “services” but as all computing moves towards service oriented pricing, won’t this veto power become all encompassing?
- maxerickson 6y agoIt seems to be the current legal situation that internet service providers can choose who they do business with. That doesn't mean that is the only possible regulatory regime, or that it is an inevitable path to some particular outcome. Is there some carrot we could feed AWS to get them to give up the choice of who to do business with?

Parler refuses to moderate hate speech / violence, instead choosing to selectively moderate, similar to a white supremacists message board / etc. Amazon, et. al. don't host those kinds of sites, and Parler is no different.
