Parlor CEO says they may not ever be able to come Back

Wrong, parler removes violent speech, has moderation. From their TOS

R)eported parleys, comments, or messages sent using our service will be deemed a violation of these Guidelines if they contain:
6.1.1 a “serious expression of an intent to commit an act of unlawful violence to a particular individual or group of individuals,” with either the intent or reckless disregard as to whether the communication will “place the victim in fear of bodily harm or death.”

6.1.2 an explicit or implicit encouragement to use violence, or to commit a lawless action, such that: (a) the Parleyer intends his or her speech to result in the use of violence or lawless action, and (b) the imminent use of violence or lawless action is the likely result of the parley, comment, or message.

I’m not defending it as much as I’m stating a fact. I would love to see the power given to all corporations lessened including social media.

And so does Apple and Amazon

I get it. Trust me i am not trying to judge. I am also not trying to be a fence sitter. I view social media as a huge problem that will lead to more violence but i don’t like seeing pr stunts by corps that limit free speech to corners of the internet.

Free market at work. Deal with it.

So do I and am in fact surprised we didn’t get to this point sooner

We did i think. New zeland, the synagogue shooting. It’s just fallen by the way side

How do you put the genie back in the bottle? You think Corporations are going to just let us put them in check again? Do you know how long it took to get anti trust laws in the first place?

The EU seems capable of reigning them in.

What do we have in place that the EU doesn’t? Let me think…

Can you explain it and say what the SCOTUS should have done in 5 sentences or less please?

So what’s your proposal?

Our constitution forbids anti-trust action? News to me.

How? I thought “bIg TeCh CenSOreD CoNS”

How are cons even allowed to plan on those platforms?

Money is speech remember? Now who could have seen something like this coming from those who have the money?

And today’s conservatives tell us that kills economic activity and destroys jobs.

Yesterday’s socialism is today’s freeberty.

Citizens United essentially ruled that corporations have 1A protections and thus their donations are considered exercising 1A. It also saw corporation campaign donations rapidly increase as they sought to influence elections.

Citizens United gave corporations significant influence on the government.

But now today, conservatives are complaining about how much power these companies have. It’s hilarious

Why was the hearing necessary? What event precipitated it?

Again, what does that have to do with big tech censorship? It isn’t at the behest of government, right?
