If we are making a restaurant analogy, I think a more accurate one is that the restaurant provides a sound proof room where a group can enter and discuss anything they want without anybody overhearing. The restaurant does not know what anybody uses that room for. It could be people planning a birthday surprise, it could be a group of terrorists.
- siver_john 6y agoExcept for in Parler it isn't a soundproof room? It's literally a social media site where the admins (owner of the restaurant) can see what is going on. So it is the audible example I mentioned above. The sound proof room would be more apt for the later comparison to signal.

- godelski 6y agoLet's say that the restaurant goes to KKK and Neo-Nazi rallies handing out fliers saying that the restaurant is where "anyone can feel welcome." But they never advertise to the general public or to groups of opposing views. Is that restaurant for the general public or is it for a specific type of people? They said it was for anyone, but I'm not sure people are going to believe that.
- godelski 6y agoMore importantly there is a difference if you advertise that sound proof room to the public (maybe for business meetings) vs the mafia. Let's say that anyone was technically allowed to reserve the room but you only told mafia members about it then it is reasonable to believe that the room is intended to be used for nefarious activities and not as a general private room. Calling it a general private room and saying it is for businessmen or government officials to talk in private would be a coverup for its real intent.
