I've already congratulated you commie bastards, lil johnny, on stealing the election. Well done, indeed. Well, a little sloppy as you guys mishandled some of the mechanism, but I'm sure you guys will clean it up and Bam! every election going forward will be a well-oiled machine of stealing elections.

    Jack Dorsey has admitted it was a blunder to ban Trump. Of course, his $50 billion hit got his attention, that and the realization that it is possible the GOP will take back Congress in just two years.

    And yes, perceived civil rights are one of the things that are referenced to either let you or exclude you from doing what you wish with your property.
    Is Facebook property? I legitimately don't know what the legal answer is to that question. But in either case, I know that BB&B has banned people. And the CUSA message board has banned people. Is that illegal?

    TWTR didn’t lose 50 billion in market cap.

    Here’s a link to the brief: https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/...664.10.0_1.pdf

    Of interest, Parler was backlogged on reported posts to the tune of 26,000.

    Sure, Facebook is intellectual property and real property in the form of servers and lots of wires and stuff.

    Dunno about the other question. The problem with both is apathy right now.

    Of course, using an alternative service such as Parler was made more difficult by other Big Tech companies such as Apple, Google, and Amazon, who banned the platform from their app stores and web servers after users flocked to the social network in the aftermath of Trump’s Twitter ban

    Well, that was totally because Parler wouldn’t moderate content where folks were planning and making threats against specific people.

    And.....???

    Seems to me the FBI and law enforcement in general would want idiots using such platforms to plan attacks. That's almost as good as some moron renting a billboard along a major highway, "Hi there! I am Joe Blow and I am plotting to assassinate _________ (fill in the blank)." Couldn't make it any easier to catch them before they can act.

    So, such social media platforms should allow FREE SPEECH...but just report posts like that to LE. And, of course, the FBI should have some folks monitoring SM platforms too.

    Well, law enforcement sure didn’t use the information from the platforms to stop the attack on Jan 6.

    This is why you put the “threats of violence” clause in your terms of service. Why put it in there if you aren’t going to use it?

    To be clear, threats of violence are not first amendment issues.

    https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitu...st-individuals

    Parler was given many opportunities to moderate the threats and when they refused, their vendors took legit actions under the contract.

    You guys are on the complete wrong side of history if you are defending Parler.
