If a group of domestic terrorists used this message board to organize and incite elicit activities, and BB.com did nothing about it, it too would get shut down.

Nothing conspiracy related here.

They are public corporations who’s sole goal is to make profit.

It was a smart business decision.

You make it sound like it’s the government that implemented this.

Wtf is so hard to understand about this?

Fuk even if I were a trump supporting tech founder I’d probably do the same since my sole responsibility is to maximize profit for my shareholders.

Aren’t conservatives supposed to be pro business? A business can deny service to anyone they please.

I wonder how many maga supporters hold faang stocks either directly or though passive etfs?

Now imagine they've also made it illegal to congregate in groups (to protect you from coronavirus) and they're in the process of shutting off any alternative speech website. Soon, online or offline, there'll be no way to communicate different ideas except the mainstream narrative.

Scary times ahead, hope you have an AR15 and are prepared

I believe in Americans. Americans won’t rollover and take it up the ass like Canadians or even Brits

There’s 75 million Trump voters.

I agree, it is frightening what Amazon did to Parler. As I was reading this morning no evidence has been shown that Parler was involved in the Capital mob. Parler CEO said the company already has measures in place to stop violence also. The article can be seen here ~

"Parler CEO Denies Site's Role in Violence, Vows Return"

https://www.newsmax.com/us/parler-jo...11/id/1005092/

excerpt:

...."We may even have to go as far as buying and building our own data centers, buying up our servers if we need to, to get back on the internet," he said. "We are going to figure this out. It is going to be devastating to our business model to raise future capital at least with the plans we had before. This is really, really devastating, what they did."

Matze added that there has been "no credible piece of evidence" that the type of content being shared on Parler doesn't exist on other platforms, or that Parler had anything to do with inciting the Capitol Hill violence.

"We have no mechanism to meet up or organize some kind of event like that on Parler," he said. "That is not really you know something that Parler could have been used for ... we advertised free speech in the United States is allowed in this country," Matze said. "We never promoted that kind of violence or anything like that. We have a lot of things in place to stop it."

He further accused the other tech giants of using the shock about the violence in Washington to stop competition from his company as one of the first "real tangible competitors."

They're losing money from this. Twitter stock down more than 10%. Execs from Twitter/******** are on Bidens transition team and will have roles in his administration. This is obviously politically motivated.

One less competitor for twitter also.

If 2020 taught us anything, it's that freedom loving Americans who built their identity on "don't tread on me" will roll over and take it up in the ass like the good little cucks they are. Trust the plan and believe in Christ while rotting letting everything get stolen from you. Our greatest chance of keeping our country was lost with that group.

Glad you still have faith.

Read Operation Lockstep from The Rockefeller Foundation. They predicted a pandemic in 2020. It's a short PDF presentation but worth it.

World Wide Web will no longer exist, this is just the beginning. The goal is to create regionally defined networks.

I genuinely hope the right can figure it out and find other servers for their platforms.

I don’t think it’s right but at the end of the day these companies can do as they please.

So if a few companies with monopolies on their markets get to decide what's allowed and what's not then what do we have? A plutocracy of unelected officials. The monopolies basically kill any competition that may challenge their power hence all the anti trust lawsuits.

Do they have a case?

If so I hope they win

Then again I’m not even sure if these laws are right. ********, Amazon etc really should be able to do what they want even with a monopoly. The monopoly exists because both companies changed the world.

It is true that free speech existed before the internet and social media platforms and smartphone apps, but back then people and organizations didn't have a choice but to go out and talk to crowds and have in-person events. These days, especially with COVID, pretty much everyone needs the online aspect to communicate and understand what's going on in the world. I don't think Trump deserved to be completely banned from Twitter and ******** and every other platform. Maybe a slap on the wrist, like a 2 week ban until Biden assumed Presidency, for example.

Sure, these are private companies and they have a right to snuff out unlikable people using their platforms, but they hold too much power to operate so harshly. They're not necessary limiting free speech, but they're limiting the access of information, which isn't right IMO. If they can wipe the POTUS existence off the internet, imagine what they can do to regular folk like you and I. It's definitely scary and kind of oppressing how much power they hold.
