He seems to be unfamiliar with the recent events and that's fine. I made an error. How am I gaslighting?



No, I never said that. Honestly, I don't care if companies decide to sever ties with other companies and I expect the bar to be high from an ethics standpoint. We've known that Parler attracts some real scumbags and they seem unable to control those scumbags. They'll be fine though (if they want to continue to exist). They'll just set up their own data-centers like plenty of other companies do.

Should we even be surprised though? If you promote a less censored version of twitter, should you really be surprised that it attracts radicals? It's like being surprised that bitcoin is used for drug trafficking.


What % of radical content is enough to essentially blackball a platform? Do you think those types of posts are what most Parler threads or whatever are about? What if that type of post makes up .1% of all posts on there? We can both agree that you could find racist and other inappropriate content on other platforms like d2jsp like Facebook or Twitter, should those platforms also be taken down because 1000 out of millions of posts are inappropriate?

There are tens if not hundreds of thousands of accounts on Twitter that are anti-semitic, calling for deaths of politicians, other religions, infidels, and so on. Most of those accounts remain on there, and I honestly don't hear anyone talking about delisting Twitter. So why in your opinion has Parler reached this critical mass of inappropriate content (which outside of two screenshots i really haven't seen, then again I 'v never been on there) while other mainstream platforms are fine?

Did Amazon, Apple, and the rest give them adequate time to properly moderate, or are a few days enough for them to say you failed to moderate properly according to our standards therefore we are taking you down?

Parler was advertised as a free speech platform, that appeals to low lives who want to say shit they cant say on any reputable platform, of course it will be worse.

Idk how many users Parler has but I'm sure it's a tiny proportion of both FB and Twitter users. In absolute terms, I guarantee you can find more racist and inappropriate things being said in the two latter platforms.

They made bad business decision by allowing all those low lives to have a voice and this is how it ended. This type of content should be removed from all services, i don't know how can support any of it in the name of free speech.

I disagree with this.

Unless you EXPLICITLY ban antisemetic dialogue, it literally becomes the only thing you hear on the platform. Its like a flame that sucks up all the oxygen in the room. At some point you have to ban some of the edgy stuff in order for normal dialogue to take over.

Parler probably had a lot more explicit content.

The gays werent silenced. They could have walked across the street and got the same cake. To add, they were doing it on purpose to be assholes.

Twitter has no competitors so its exclusion means thousands more.

The extremists posting stupid things like that assuming they're serious need to be monitored and apprehended. That type of post is grade A court material for convictions. If this is what most of what Parler convos look like, although I doubt it, otherwise we'd have more than 2 screenshots., it's a goldmine for law enforcement. The FBI should be monitoring and eventually arresting these people. Parler is the equivalent of an FBI informant why shut it down if you can find perps through it?
