Should AWS and peers be compelled to host websites for Isis and other terrorist organizations? I think it makes sense that these companies do not want to be responsible for giving a platform to individuals who espouse violent viewpoints. That's what this is. Parler has become a hotbed of radical and violent extremists calling for murder of politicians and people in the media. These companies didn't shut off parler "quickly". They waited until after Parler took a large part in helping organize a violent mob that assaulted the capital.

Considering that the US considers some legitimate organizations like Hezbollah and Hamas (groups which are democratically elected representatives of their constituents) to be terrorists, yeah I don't trust the US or AWS to determine for me who is and isn't a terrorist.

Don't judge Parler with what you hear from the mainstream media. I'm on Parler and there a lot of intelligent conversations there that give you the other side, which is so hard to get otherwise (which is why I joined). Yes, I'm sure there are some crazies there, but there are many, many more by numbers on Twitter. Please join Parler and judge for yourself, don't trust the media narrative.

> Parler has become a hotbed of radical and violent extremists calling for murder of politicians and people in the media. Twitter, Reddit, and Facebook all have the same problem. The only way you can argue Parler being kicked out of AWS is right and Parler shouldn't be able to operate is if you think those sites should be shut down too. With some of the comments I've seen here, honestly, this site gets close sometimes too. Anybody want to talk about BDS? Because that's certainly advocating for violence and the death of lots of Jews and it's very popular among the Justice Democrats and their followers, just as an example. They consider it justified violence, just like the article "In Defense of Looting" did, but proponents of political violence always consider themselves justified. That was published by NPR, so I guess they should be shut down too, right? Or is this actually about silencing a specific kind of political speech and not really about violence at all? That seems more likely to be. The violence at the Capitol is just an excuse to silence political opponents.
