Anyone looked at the three sample complaints?
7 upvotes, 2 upvotes, 5 upvotes.
For context, the post (I'm guessing he is a co-founder or some senior person at Parler) John Matze has 34,000 upvotes. These posts seem like bad or manufactured examples.
What prevents a competitor from sending a few people to post these things to eliminate competition?
Or worse. Who remembers Knew Knowledge faking Russian bots to smear a candidate as being backed by Russia? [1]
I write this as a muslim American. In my youth having a seasonal job in a well-known resort. I had a local guy come to me, called me a "camel jockey", "towel head" and told me if he sees me in the parking lot he'll take out his 357 and put one in my head. So I have faced some nasty racism. That said, I don't agree with Amazon removing Parler on the basis of these flimsy evidence.

- prontodeveloper 6y agoCompanies have a right to refuse service to a customer for any reason (the reason doesn't have to be disclosed). Imagine as a startup, being forced to sign a contract (under duress) that you know is not aligned with your long term goals.
- EnderWT 6y agoThere is a sub dedicated to sharing Parler content that threatens violence, among other things. https://www.reddit.com/r/ParlerWatch https://www.reddit.com/r/ParlerWatch. You can find many more examples there.
- ttoomm28 6y agoDo you realise how easy it is to find content like that on twitter and fb and other places - why aren't they shut down and blacklisted ?
- daemoens 6y agoLook at the @ParlerTakes account on Twitter or r/ParlerWatch. There are thousands of examples of this on a relatively small social media site.
- Tokkemon 6y agoDon't plead ignorance. Parler is as bad as 8chan with some of the most vile and despicable chatter I've ever seen in my life.
