It matters to what extent the voice is being silenced.

The gay couple had no issue procuring a wedding cake, and chose the baker specifically because they thought they might be refused. There was zero inconvenience caused. They wanted to force him out of business because they just honest to God didn't like his viewpoints and wanted to fuck him in the figurative ass.

Twitter is banning people who have no recourse and no other way of making their viewpoints heard. Because of a (near) monopoly on electronic discourse, it is impossible to have a conversation that does not flow through one tool or another. We're often better off that some crazies don't have a platform, but it's obviously a more serious complaint than gays wanting a specific Christian baker to make their wedding cake.

Maybe it's time for GOP to start weed out these people by themselves out of their ranks instead of embracing them, then all those companies wouldn't have to do shit. Do you think that admins of parler don't know what the hell is going on on their platform? They knew and they were banking on it. Its their own fault they are in this shit. Good riddance.

My eyes would bleed.

To be honest, I think we all have some responsibility, that we've been neglecting, to rein in fundamentally unintelligent voices. I see that on both sides of the spectrum, and in roughly equal quantities.

But should that be the role of large social media companies? Personally, I think not.

"What we are seeing is a coup by California billionaires, not by Trump fans."

I wouldn't necessarily say that. This is a screen grab from a Reddit post describing how utterly fucked Parler's platform security is, and how it's been co-opted by administrative access to view and dump terabytes of "deleted" posts and user information (including the scans of actual drivers licenses many users uploaded for gaining "verified" accounts). This data dump has already been used by the FBI to add identified people to the no-fly list.

I think people who upload scans of their drivers licenses shouldn't be allowed to fly, or drive... or leave the house. LOL

finally you are coming around to the true stupidity of trumpers

Sounds like a darkhead69 qanon post.

Im gunna wait a week on this one.

ROFL at all the people complaining about private companies kicking a shitty app off of their platform. I haven't heard of the 'victims' being blocked from registering DNS records/mappings to point at their own server farm.
