Parker and 8chan were pretty adamant about supporting literal hate speech from white power Nazis, (I say this as someone who had a Parler account and grew up with 4chan) on top of having terrible infrastructure for content moderation. I agree that free speech is important, but private businesses can decide to pull the plug if the want. It’s a consequence of speech. I’m not a fan of app stores though. Google and Apple are monopolistic.

> Parker and 8chan were pretty adamant about supporting literal hate speech Parler (?) did not support (!) it. They moderated hate speech. Maybe not 100% efficiently, but in response to some examples in media Parler AFAIR posted similar hate speech examples on Twitter, which Twitter failed to moderate out. Not fighting literal hate speech was not their policy. And no moderation is 100% efficient. What you are saying about Parler is false (and defamation).
