Twitter and Facebook cancel Trump account. Apple and Google cancel Parler app (conservative's Twitter). Amazon cancels Parler server. Conservative voice is totally canceled. Are we supposed to be happy? In The Friends of Voltaire, Hall wrote the phrase: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it"
Hold your horses. Trump account is not conservative voice - it's just Trump noise. Accounts that were inciting violence have been banned as a preventive measure.
I'm not OK with colluded social media to decide whether a post is inciting violence.
That's your choice. Action was taken after the incident - it wasn't even preemptive.
If you think that encompasses all conservatives then I guess they all need to read agreements they accept before crying foul. Otherwise, go listen to Arnold, he is a conservative. Plenty of conservatives on social media, more than liberals.
Maybe conservatives should've better moderated these platforms? Say to support civilized discourse and forbid the incel couch warrior "burn the world" bullshit?
Is your post an example of “civility”?
Which word did you get offended by: incel or bullshit?
Pretty sad when you equate conservative voices with misinformation, conspiracy theories and inciting violence. Which is what you're doing
This
I don't want to hear violent voice, conspiracy theory, and hate speech. However, who can decide what is hate speech? All Parler's postings are hate speech? All American agree on Trump's tweets is hate speech? Decision process is always very human and political. Can I just trust democrat leader? It's funny to see America ends up CCP or Soviet Union. Today I'm not proud of where I work.
Let me get this straight so companies doing whatever the fuck they want and banning most powerful man in the government is what turned america into Soviet Union? No way you work at google while being this dumb
I don't know if you've noticed, but conservative and republican voices are alive and well represented on Facebook and Twitter. Much of it i find objectionable but apparently fb and twtr consider it within the tos. Parler isn't making America great. It adds no value to political discourse. It's not even up to Democrat leaders, every company has to make that call. That's a free market
So you don’t like the free market now?
Love the free market. Hate collusion.
Good then support leftists trying to rein in these mega companies and monopolies
Any one remember this summer? Here is Seattle, a city council member escorted the mob in to city hall, at her command. Where was Twitter/AWS/Apple/FB? The issue here is that those who preach inclusiveness and equality sure do push hard against those values.
Ok, hold them accountable for it without resorting to violence. Accounts that were inciting violence should be banned, no matter what their ideology.
Agreed. Violence is not peaceful protest and should be prosecuted regardless of political position.
These aren't conservative voices. These are far right nut jobs who want to hang people like Pence and stage coups. They cannot be reasoned with.
See, fb has good ppl! Which org has the most of you?
With aws shutting down Parler - it’s no long about individual “nut jobs”.
It’s funny that you think voices/platforms that promote violence against sitting Vice Presidents and other high ranking members of govt are conservatives voices. At this point you guys are telling on yourself.
Everyone here is getting paid. A lot. Move along now
