This is a false depiction. I haven’t used Parler much but checked it out a few times and did not encounter a single piece of content advocating violence, talking about Jewish people, using the n word, or partaking in any kind of racism. Your claim that these are repeated ad nauseum suggests you never actually visited any of these sites and are just criticizing them without basis.
- kegbuna 6y agoI would agree that this was not really the case on Parler though one could find a couple accounts like that. Gab has been a little more extreme but the worst by far was Voat.
- shrimpx 6y agoI spent time on these apps and I disagree with you. A large subset of what I saw were conspiracy theories and racist hate speech.

The court documents (https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/29095511/parler-llc-v-amazon-web-services-inc/ https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/29095511/parler-llc-v-a...) from their case against Amazon contain other examples of hate speech.
- dublin 6y ago"Hate Speech" as you call it, no matter how distasteful you may find it, is protected speech under the US Constitution, and thus (if also not a threat of violence, doxxing, or similar) is permitted on Gab. I have no problem with platforms allowing any and all speech, since it actually just allows stupid speakers to beclown themselves. Free speech is the most liberal idea there is - as Voltaire famously said, "I may disagree with everything you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
- throwaway19937 6y agoGab's policies are their business; my goal was to provide examples of such content on Parler.
- geofft 6y agoVoltaire never said that.
