I'm troubled as well. Here's how I see things that played out: Twitter and Facebook banning Trump? Not surprised, they censor conservatives all the time and have been doing so since even before Trump. Also remember: it wasn't just Trump this time, many others have been banned from Twitter and Facebook, and many groups have been shut down. Apple banning Parler? I was surprised by this. Apple is supposedly about privacy; clearly, they are not. Changes my view on their value proposition moving forward. AWS dropping Parler? Again, this is surprising. Head scratching even. Going to make a lot of people think twice about AWS. I'm also kinda surprised at the HN response to all this, perhaps its because many of the posters here work at one of these Orwellian companies and don't see the issue. I see complaints here about payments companies blocking criminal activity, yet very little relative objections to simply cancelling people the CEOs disagree with.
