Conspiracy theories

[Guisslapp]

These insurrectionists talk just like some of you guys. Obviously you guys are all drinking from a common well of fake news.

For years, members of movements like QAnon, the Proud Boys, and the Three Percenters, a far-right militia group — not to mention hordes of white supremacists and conspiracy theorists — have been allowed to accumulate and grow on platforms like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter. While the mainstream social networks have taken action to restrict and even ban the groups, many had already achieved a significant level of organization, leaving critics to say that the crackdown came too late.

“Social media platforms, for years, have allowed their algorithms to boost disinformation and far-right organizing,” said Fadi Quran, campaign director at the human rights group Avaaz. “In DC, we saw QAnon conspiracists and other militias that would never have grown to this size without being turbo-charged by Facebook and Twitter.”

He added, “The platforms are still reacting with Band-Aid policies instead of the surgical procedures needed to fix this problem, like detoxing their algorithms and providing clear retroactive corrections.”

I love this one...a conspiracy theory from a leftist wacko. He said Trump's announcement that he and his family will not be at the White House or even in DC on inauguration day is a secret coded message to his crazy followers that it is okay for them to attack the WH that day. Now, it is true, we crazy Trumpsters have the means. We have attack-bombers, attack-helicopters, and a battery of howitzers...in 155mm, which can be set up in Virginia and lob shells on target.

But, it is just a conspiracy theory, so no reason for concerns.

Heard that Apple is blocking Parlor from all its devices. Can they do that?

Can a company decide what products they provide? Yes.

So, now they own the search engines and web sites we install on our devices too? That’s crazy.

The own the operating system, the App Store, and Safari because they created it.

And let me just remind you that this whole Section 230 repeal that Trump was championing will necessarily lead to even greater moderation.

It is no conspiracy theory that Capitol Police (or impersonators) moved barricades and held the doors open to allow people into the Capitol. Plenty of video evidence of that.

Hard to think that would have been done without some kind of authorization because it goes against every proper crowd control procedure there is.

There is also plenty of video evidence of people dressed in all black with dark bandanas covering their faces breaking windows while obvious Trump supporters yelled at them and tried to stop them.

Similarly dressed people urged the crowd to move forward as stated earlier in this thread.

There are just too many suspicious coincidences here for it to be dismissed a simple conspiracy theory. Looks much more like an organized conspiracy to try to frame the Trump supporters. The organized big tech attacks against constitutional free speech are a direct extension of that.

There are reports that Trump wants to buy Parler and other reports that he either wants to start his own media network or become the owner or a major investor in an existing network. If so, big tech better duck and cover.

So, I should still be able to get to Parlor if I use FireFox?

If you got evidence, post it.

And I don’t know why you want to ignore all the interviews with Trump supporters that told you exactly what they were up to.

I must have missed something. What attacks on constitutional free speech by Big Tech?

Is the government putting people in jail for saying stuff?

[Guisslapp]

Nice.

“We have always supported diverse points of view being represented on the App Store, but there is no place on our platform for threats of violence and illegal activity,” an Apple representative said in a statement. “Parler has not taken adequate measures to address the proliferation of these threats to people’s safety. We have suspended Parler from the App Store until they resolve these issues.”

Google removed Parler from its Android app store, Google Play, on Friday.

Good thing is, Maxine “Raisin Head” Waters and Kamala “heels up” Harris have been canceled for their comments inciting violence. You know, “get out and create a crowd” and “they won’t stop before the elections and they won’t stop afterward”. Oh wait.
