Everyone saying they deserve it for "facilitating attacks on the US government", ask yourself if you believe Antifa should be kicked off of every platform they exist on for burning police stations.
This is hypocrisy. Far too much of modern tech is held by companies happy to use it as a political weapon, and all for one side. I'm disgusted by the people who populate Parler, but I'm actually afraid of these tech authoritarians.
- forserious 6y agoDamn! You're right. Who should we reach out to and ask them to stop saying what they're saying? Maybe you can point me to the leader of the atheists while you're at it.

- cheeze 6y agoYeah, I fully think that a social network that doesn't censor the calls to burn police stations should be banned. I don't care what side it's from, enticing violence on a large scale isn't okay.
- seneca 6y agoWell, I disagree but I respect the internal consistency. You're a step ahead most of the people supporting this nonsense.
- forserious 6y agoYou disagree with the idea that calling for violence one a large scale isn't ok?
- leshokunin 6y agoSorry, what are you referring to? Would love to see links to police stations being burnt by organized groups.
- matchbok 6y agoWell, because antifa is not a thing. That's why. Who is the leader of antifa? Where do they organize? That's what I thought.
- yew 6y agoAll forms of extremism, regardless of political valence, should be deprived of air. Is that consistent enough for you?
- asddubs 6y agoI have my doubts that twitter users calling for burning police stations would not in fact be banned if they caught the eyes of a moderator
- hnburnsy 6y agoLook at the examples from Amazon, they had single digit up votes. Amazon called them out for 98 posts over serval weeks. How many users and daily posts on Parler? I get the CEO comments but the violent content examples from Amazon seemed weak.
- wvenable 6y agoI ran a very open forum with extremely light moderation for almost 2 decades and it started out very normal; It was spun off of famous tech bloggers website. But it eventually became overrun with the same type of people we're talking about here. My hosting provider was contacted a few times and I always had to moderate the content, make software changes, etc. The last time I got an abuse notice from them I decided to just pack it in. What I'm saying is this sort of thing is nothing new -- it's just getting a lot of attention now. > ask yourself if you believe Antifa should be kicked off of every platform they exist on for burning police stations. If Antifa was planning violent actions on a platform, you can bet their hosting provider would get the same notifications and it would again be up to the provider to decide if they want that liability.
