The pretty obvious solution is to not buy Apple devices I have never owned an Apple device, but they clearly believe locking them down is part of the appeal of the devices in the first place. If you want an impartial platform get an android

The closest comparable platforms are probably the consoles. Should Xbox/PlayStation/Nintendo be forced to allow 3rd party app stores on their devices?

That sort of disclaimer is either naive or disingenuous No one knows or cares what "unfiltered" means. My initial take was "unfiltered" meant "straight talk." There's no reason for a casual visitor to have

All you'll do is shift it to people hosting "proxy" services on their main domain so they can pipeline the requests through if the browser stops it. That's extra effort, but the big ones will do it

The problem isn't their size, the problem is regulatory capture.

Social media like Parler and Twitter are largely fueled by notoriety and attention though, so I don't think decentralized anonymity is a good fit for the audience.

No colo is going to touch them, because if they did whatever other existing business they had would leave. Which of course, is the real reason AWS turfed them, and no other cloud provider will pick them up. Not even Oracle, who are desperat

Not if you want anyone to actually use it or if you want to be able to monetize it.

Amazon doesn't host Facebook or Twitter, but they did host Parler. Amazon told Parler they had to remove some very specific content or they would be sever their service, and Parler refused. Amazon's letter terminating Parler calls

That was their policy on paper. In practice, it was not enforced.

Parler got deplatformed more for a refusal to moderate than an inability to moderate. They explicitly chose to retain the content

Where do you think you're going to go where they don't have the same sort of policies? I'm actually very curious to see who will be willing to accept Parler's business.

It's always been a balancing act, weighing the newsworthiness of broadcasting the words of the POTUS versus the potential damage. The actions of his followers this week have finally tipped the scales too far.

I understand that is an ideal, but "browsers of all types" is utterly unrealistic, and hasn't been the case in the wild since the 90's. Not only does the modern web expect you to be running JS, you're expected to be

by fooey 6y ago
The idea that the web should work without JS has been dead for a couple decades now. It's a barely less laughable demand than expecting everyone to use a CLI over a GUI.

The point of law is to serve the nation Is it in the nation's best interest for you to hire the best person? or to hire a tax payer? It's not old school, it's self protection.
