> What you mean is Twitter doesn't prioritize reports on low engagement tweets. It is funny you can find these low engagement tweets not a big deal while the threat report that Amazon sent to Parler literally contained a low engagement post too. It wasn't a verified handle that posted that violence induced post. Yet Parler was kicked off of Amazon while you are here providing justifications for Twitter. How does that make you feel? These are the low engagement Parler posts. Can you extend the same justification you gave for Twitter to Parler too? 1. https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2021-01/10/4/asset/91e59bd4811d/sub-buzz-2473-1610252143-7.png?downsize=800:*&output-format=auto&output-quality=auto https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2021-01/10/4... 2. https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2021-01/10/1/asset/d40f0494ab2a/sub-buzz-2307-1610242859-1.png?downsize=800:*&output-format=auto&output-quality=auto https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2021-01/10/1... 3. https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2021-01/10/1/asset/dc52bbdabbcd/sub-buzz-2312-1610242888-1.png?downsize=800:*&output-format=auto&output-quality=auto https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2021-01/10/1...

Wait you're telling me that platform with *330 Million* monthly active users has more problems moderating low engagement content than the platform with 4 million MAUs? Say it ain't so! - And also what are you even trying to say, that the reason why Parler was banned was those images? Haha, no. It was because of the ratio of that kind of content to all the content. Turns out if your only differentiator is you allow X that your competitor doesn't allow, you get a ton of X. Whether it's porn, hate speech, illegal products, you name it. You're inviting yourself to become a haven for X. - Also please confirm: You said Twitter only removes Right Wing content" Do you stand by such a statement? Because further discourse with you from me will rely on speaking within the realm of reality. - Reply to both comments since now I'm rate limited: Two comments back to back showing a tendency to read things in the most convenient way... Those images, literally just those images, are not why Parler was banned. Your argument literally relies on the fact! Otherwise those images exist for Twitter and they'd be kicked off! It was those images PLUS context, and you argue the context is they're right leaning, and I argue the context is they refused to censor hate speech and ended up being a haven for it - I literally gave you the reason right there! You allow X, other place doesn't, you'll be swamped with X. Call it game theory, call it human nature, call it whatever you want, that's how it's worked on the internet since time immemorial, I don't get why Parler was supposed different

  > And also what are you even trying to say, that the reason why Parler was banned was those images? Yes I am saying these are the images for which Parler was banned. Maybe you should do your research before you happen to accuse me of saying things I never said. These images were provided by Amazon to Parler as a justification to remove Parler from AWS. These images were not taken by me or provided by me. The article which covers these images: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/johnpaczkowski/amazon-parler-aws https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/johnpaczkowski/amazon-p... > Haha, no. It was because of the ratio of that kind of content to all the content. No evidence to back up your claim here. Again, this is the sort of stupid left wing bubble that makes up most left wingers. Unless you can say exactly how much of the content was violent on Parler your guess is as good as mine. I just showed the GP evidence on how Twitter doesn't remove hate speech on its platform much the same as Parler. That is about it. I can dig thousands of tweets for you which show hate speech. I am not going to waste my time doing it. If Amazon can use the above images as justification to remove Parler then Twitter being online is hypocritical.

    It's funny that you ascribed a political slant to me. Go back and read every comment I've made as if I'm a 65 year old white man with greying hair who's voted Republican every year except this one because I didn't approve of Trump's handling of Coronavirus. Does anything change? Do my comments ring any less true? As I explained above, you also don't believe just those images that got them banned, it's the context they exist in that matters, that's literally what the next line says! And of course I explained exactly why I can confidently say Parler's ratio of hate speech would be higher... because their differentiator is literally not moderating hate speech since it counts as free speech.

      > because their differentiator is literally not moderating hate speech since it counts as free speech. False. Have already shown with evidence that they were indeed moderating hate speech and did indeed have it clearly, unambiguously defined in their guidelines. No matter how much you try to twist it the facts are staring back in your face. That guidelines do exist. There is literally no differentiator between Twitter and Parler. Both take their own sweet time to moderate violent content/hate speech. Yet Amazon finds Parler not moderating "with urgency" a requirement to terminate business with Parler while renewing cloud contracts with Twitter for the same damn thing. I haven't seen a bigger hypocritical bunch. And what will this lead to? Fragmentation and balkanization of the internet.
