- yostrovs 6y agoFacebook wasn't removed from apple and google play stores.
- segmondy 6y agoThe majority of Facebook users are not trying to use it to undermine an election result or throw over a government. That's the difference.
- UncleOxidant 6y agoMaybe not the majority, but what about total raw numbers of users? Parler was tiny compared to FB. If only 0.01% of FB users were trying to undermine/overthrow the election that's probably a lot more people than the total on Parler.
- FartyMcFarter 6y agoDoes Facebook moderate posts explicitly inciting violence?
- colejohnson66 6y agoNope. I’ve reported many of them and they say the posts don’t violate their “community standards”.
- 0xy 6y agoMore Facebook users than Parler call for violent and government overthrowing.
- cronix 6y agoParler had about 10 million users. You just painted 5+ million of them, which would be the majority of users you eluded to, with a very wide brush. Do you really believe that?
- waiseristy 6y agoThat's true, but Apple & Google can remove or decide not to remove any app for any reason. I don't think their decision to remove parler and leave Facebook is really all that surprising. Parler could have avoided destruction by being web-first and self hosted. They should have recognized the hostile (unfair) environment they were operating in
