Any European criticizing AWS for banning Parler is only paying lip service; Parler couldn’t exist as European company as Europe has far stricter hate speech law

Any European criticizing AWS for banning Parler is only paying lip service; Parler couldn’t exist as European company as Europe has far stricter hate speech laws.
In any case far left leaning activists have always expressed that the mega caps have too much power; but they were called communists until it started affected people on the right.
- BlueTemplar 6y agoAFAIK he's not criticizing the issue with Parler, as you would have seen if you actually had read my link. I have just widened the net in the hope of catching some dissidents to the "party line".
- nemothekid 6y agoI did read link, to ensure he was western European, rather than eastern. My assertion remains the same - under French or German laws Trump would have been booted, and with clear precedent.

Not private companies. He's not saying these are good people, he's saying the arbitrary nature of these decisions, and the fact that they're being made by unaccountable corporations, is dangerous.
