I wouldn't like my posts to be shut down, no one would, but if it happened
to me, I hope I would use the opportunity to consider whether my speech was
too hateful, too violent, too inciteful, too racist, too whatever.
Judged by whose standards? The monolith with no rules or rules for certain
people?

Also, as others have pointed out, Amazon is a private company. As such,
they are free to set rules as they see fit. As an Amazon customer, Parler
was either unable or unwilling to police its messaging platform so it's
only right that they got the boot.

Yes, with special exemptions set up by Congress. Is this part of special carve
outs that Congress does? Why is it that they only block one side of an argument
but allow more aggressive, hateful speech by others? If you had a site say JJ
Truth which users would sign up and you moderated and someone comes in say Bub.
Bub says Ex lax is the best. The monolith does not like that so they shut you
down. Your thoughts?

Give us some examples of others who are spreading aggressive, hateful speech,
loaded with lies. I agree the rules should be applied fairly.

The only reason we are in this bad place is because of one man, Trump.
He brought us here. What should any responsible company do when leaders
are using your facilities to spread total lies, lies about a stolen election and
those lies lead to insurrection at the Capitol? As to the lies, just watch what
happens in court now. There are now 3 Dominion related lawsuits for defamation
in federal court. Team Trump, Ruddy, Powell, et al will have to show what facts
they have to support all the claims they put forth for two months, eg that
Dominion was founded by Hugo Chavez, that the fixed elections in Venezuela,
that their machines were rigged to divert votes to Biden, etc. So far, they
have nothing but claims.
