Facebook, Twitter, and Google have not tried to take a stand against moderation; the worst you can say is that they still need to improve their moderation policies and techniques. Parler was created as a protest against the moderation that happens on other platforms, to be a place where the people who are too extreme for Facebook etc. can communicate, recruit, and so forth. Likewise with Gab, which was created in response to Twitter's own efforts at moderation.
Nothing unequeal about the treatment, because Parler's efforts at moderation were never equal (in either commitment or scope) to the other platforms you mentioned.
- _-david-_ 6y agoParler had some moderation, but had far fewer rules than other platforms. They had rules against direct calls of violence for example. They also appear to have been slower at enforcing their rules, possibly due to the smaller team involved.
