I really hope you realize how the history books will record this if this all goes South. You're cheering on big tech's unchecked power to destroy a business it doesn't like in < 24 hours.
My prediction is this will only radicalise people further by giving them a persecution complex.

How is this relevant in Parler's case? It is not demanding any state policy changes. It is not threatening anyone with violence. It just wants to be open for business, so that its users, including Trump supporters, could talk to each other.
- adrr 6y agoAmazon wants to keep their large enterprise customers happy who complained about being hosted along side a xmm on controversial site. Are you saying Amazon can’t pick and choose customers and should be forced to lose money if they get boycotted by other customers that want to be as far away from controversial sites as possible?
- NetOpWibby 6y agoEDIT: Just reread your comment and I agree.
- NetOpWibby 6y agoThese people already have a persecution complex, they shouldn't be allowed to proliferate because of "what ifs." They've already shown what they can do, unchecked. Shutting down Parler and others like them is for the greater good. EDIT: Also, Amazon told them to moderate their content or get booted. Parler didn't do so, got booted.
