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. 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. |

And don't forget the crazy contradiction. At the same time these alleged conservatives are complaining about these companies marking posts or booting people and companies, Trump vetoed the defense spending bill because he demanded that removing 230 protection be added to it. That 230 protection means that internet companies can't be held liable for whatever other people put on their websites. Obviously if you pull that protection, there will be a big increase in more censorship. |

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? -- Tekkie |

Your thoughts? I invite others to weigh in. I wasn't able to follow your "special exemptions" argument. |

Your thoughts? -- Tekkie 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. |
