When they got banned from Twitter and Facebook, everyone said “just start your own platform”. So they did. You should be happy?

  My complaint is about calling it free speech platform. That is a lie right there in the title. Had the title was "Kanye West to acquire right wing platform Parler" I would be fine with the title.

    Technically you are not wrong, but all platforms including Twitter, Facebook, etc basically say "We believe in free speech, but..." It's really just about choosing who moderates your content. 0 moderation is not possible, so if you don't like Twitter, you can use Parler, and if you don't like Reddit, you can use Retalk, etc etc

      Not once have I seen a "Musk to acquire free speech platform Twitter" headline. I wonder why Parler gets that distinction, but other platforms don't.

        Because, while in fact neither is a "free-speech" platform, Parler brands itself as one while Twitter does not, and the person who posted this article has an axe to grind (adding "free speech" to the title when it isn't in the headline of the article).

      I have never seen the title to say "Free speech platform twitter" or "Free speech platform Facebook". Moreover, this title was not written by Parler. The free speech platform is editorializing by submitter.
