Parler was not used by the rioters. Nobody who was arrested planned anything on Parler, but they did use Facebook and Twitter.

- kmeisthax 6y ago"But Facebook did it too" isn't a great argument for Parler. If anything, you're arguing for more legal pressure on Facebook, not for getting Parler their AWS account back.
- _-david-_ 6y agoWe were told Parler aided in the riots, but they did not. If Parler actually did what they were accused of that would be "but Facebook did it too". Facebook and Twitter did it and Parler did not. >If anything, you're arguing for more legal pressure on Facebook, not for getting Parler their AWS account back. I am arguing for consistency. Parler was accused of something they did not do. They were found guilty by Amazon, Google and Apple. It then came out they were innocent, but the real perpetrators (Facebook and Twitter) and not being punished. If what Parler was accused of doing was so serious that removing them from app stores and AWS was the correct move then it seems like if people were consistent they would be calling for the same thing with the real perpetrators. I haven't seen any widespread support for removing the apps from the app stores. The whole thing feels political and not real outrage which is what I was trying to convey.
