- richardARPANET 6y agoWhy are you praising someone with too much time on their hands attempting to limit freedom of speech? Really sad and pathetic.
- judge2020 6y agoAh yes, freedom[0] of speech[1]. 0: https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20200630/23525844821/parler-speedruns-content-moderation-learning-curve-goes-we-allow-everything-to-were-good-censors-days.shtml https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20200630/23525844821/parle... 1: https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20200627/23551144803/as-predicted-parler-is-banning-users-it-doesnt-like.shtml https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20200627/23551144803/as-pr...
- richardARPANET 6y agoWhat's your point?
- judge2020 6y agoParler isn't a bastion of free speech. They make the same "we don't want to be associated with certain users" decision that FB and Twitter do, often in the exact same ways. They just don't ban or limit far-right conspiracy.
- swebs 6y agoSo should we also cancel sites like Twitter that don't ban far-left conspiracy?
- judge2020 6y agoYou can cancel them if you want. Whoever heeds your call to cancel Twitter will stop using Twitter. If Twitter bought some LACNIC IP space but didn't have a DC or office there, I'd support revoking those IPs as well since it'd be fraud.
- xmichael0 6y agoStraight up, I believe this is the only comment who understands the situation.
- sonotathrowaway 6y agoIf those far-left conspiracists are using the platform to coordinate terrorist attacks, absolutely.
- richardARPANET 6y ago@judge2020 I'm aware Parler is a subpar platform (compared to Gab for example). But this de-platforming BS needs to stop. It's pathetic.
- azinman2 6y agoSo someone with ARPANET in their handle is ok with abuse of NICs and IP space?
- nulld3v 6y agoTwo wrongs don't make a right.
- inetknght 6y agoDangerous speech isn't free.
- richardARPANET 6y agoI'm well aware of what speech is and is not legal under US law. Parler's TOS are inline with US law.
- CamperBob2 6y agoThen again, harmless speech never needed protecting in the first place.
- kube-system 6y agoDeplatforming is a freedom of association issue.
- richardARPANET 6y agoOr fear of the mob. We will be using DDoS-Guard going forward to show support for those with a spine.
- gruez 6y agoDunno that sounds vaguely like virtue signaling to me. Also, I'm personally not a big fan of a russian company MITMing my company's traffic.
- richardARPANET 6y agoBeing a man of principal is not virtue signalling.
- gruez 6y agoAh yes, when you're doing it's "being a man of principal", when they do it it's "virtue signaling". I fail to see how this is any different than chinese people buying huawei in droves to "show support" for huawei/china/meng wanzhou.
- richardARPANET 6y ago@gruez who is "they"?
- gruez 6y agoThe other side, people who you don't agree with.
- imwillofficial 6y agoThat’s quite a strawman you’re boxing with.
