>Parler contained realistic threats and refused to moderate or remove those threads.
Parler has filed a lawsuit alleging precisely the opposite, and alleging further that, due to Amazon's contract with Twitter, Amazon's actions were a matter, not of TOS, but of anti-competitive action, especially given that "Hang Mike Pence" was trending on Twitter at the same time that Parler was getting kicked off of AWS. Anyway, I don't know the specifics of how Parler was moderated, so I won't comment further on the matter.
What I do see is a company whose mission was not explicitly political, but whose clientele was largely composed of the faction who lost the most recent election losing critical infrastructure, to the point that their service is effectively dead, even as myriad other companies move to denounce the faction who lost the most recent election. That is disturbing.
- watwut 6y agoTwitter has long standing habit to remove threads, users and hashtags sending threats. And not just right wing ones, while there were left protests during summer, they were constantly removing left leaning accounts calling for violence. It is simply not true that Twitter would generally refused to remove calls for violence or harassments - at least among its English speaking users.
- themaninthedark 6y ago"In fact, Twitter’s abuse policy is so flaky that the platform couldn’t seem to decide if my tweets broke the rules or not.

Now the tweet is deleted but he is not banned.
