Parler CEO Says Parler May Be Offline Longer Than Expected -- Why Didn't We Let The Free Market Decide???

[colfax_m]

The only ones wanting an echo chamber are you progressive pussies.

Conservatives have been living in an alternate reality once they detached themselves from anyone who believed anything different than them.

Stsrted long ago with Limbaugh and AM talk radio. It was accelerated by Fox News bubble. It’s now magnified a million times over by the unintended consequences of social media algorithms.

I have no interest in Parler, Twitter, Facebook, etc.

But I feel very sorry for Parler and hope that it can get back online somehow.

*****

I hope that I am allowed to report the following.

I just remembered that a couple of years ago, a website called Gab was also in trouble for allowing someone who was notorious (I forget whom) to comment there.

So I have just gone to Gab. There was a notice that said that before I could be connected, the website would check to see whether I was a bad guy trying to harm the website. After a minute or less, it was decided that I was not, so I was connected. I did not stay, for I am not interested in Gab, either. But I am delighted to see that it is still online.


*****

I hope (all we have is hope) Mr. Biden, the self-proclaimed healer, will "request" Big Tech to stop being so heavy-handed.

They are kicking off Qanon people, is being part of a conspiracy theory now violent?

QAnon just invaded the Capitol, so yeah.

Bullshit. Only one side is being de-platformed, and it isn't progressive simps like you.

QAnon just invaded the Capitol, so yeah.

So by that logic all BLM groups need to be held responsible for the riots this summer, right?

Why don't we add the NAACP to the list as well?

Guilt by association, it's amazing how you don't realize how Gestapo you have gotten, you dried up old SJW ass poundee.

Sorry, but a wedding cake isn't a nessasary thing like being able to access the most common form of political discourse.

And being on Twitter is necessary?

Seems we had political discourse for a few hundred years before Twitter.

Social media is where the discussion is happening now. Shutting off half the population from it is no different then a mob keeping them out of the public square.

Public square, my ass. You can't just go around declaring businesses to be public property. We're not a socialist nation, yet.

Sorry you are a analog person in a digital age, maybe you can get in your buggy and take the dirigible to Washington to have your voice heard.

Do you even realize you're parroting all the same arguments offered up by statist liberals whenever they want to expand state power over business?

Anyway, have you been tracking the buzz from Dems in Congress? They're right there with you - eager to sink their regulatory teeth into social media. You're going to get your way, and freedom will suffer for your efforts.

And if you get your way you get to be 3 places ahead in line into the camps.

Should "big government" write their Terms and Conditions language too??

They will be soon enough. Dems have long wanted this kind of power, and now that Trump has converted half the idiots in the Republican party to outright socialists, they'll face little opposition.

Or....maybe this is a financial/business/marketing decision and the people who are most upset and shook about it are people who rely on Twitter and Facebook to fleece money from morons by telling them the bullshit conspiracies they want to believe, no matter what damage it causes.....

In other words; the advertising world ain't fucking with right wing ammosexual conspiracy nuts right now -- so Twitter is acting accordingly....

Now that is where market competition kicks in............instead of relying on Amazon servers, use Cloudflare or other vendors who are hungry for market share....

Remember when conservatives were whining about Facebook years and years ago and tried to start ReaganBook?? Why did they give up?? Because of so-called Big government censorship or was it simply because Reaganbook sucked??

The swift death of ReaganBook, the Facebook for patriots

The conservative social network was shut down after an attack from liberal trolls

I'm not arguing for authoritarian state control of social media. YOU are.

Regulation of a utility, nothing more or less.

Should the power company be able to shut off electricity to people they don't like?

Sure, sure. Just a little "regulation". A utility! A monopoly! Public accommodation... all the same angles, all the same excuses and all the same conceits.

If you can beat them, and instead you join them. You ARE them.

But I feel very sorry for Parler and hope that it can get back online somehow.

Why?

They allowed their platform to be used to plot an insurrection

Facebook has let its platform be used to actually let people conspire for murder, It was prosecuted in a case in my county a few years ago.

 

[colfax_m]

Bullshit. Only one side is being de-platformed, and it isn't progressive simps like you.

Most are from the conservative side but that’s because your side has gone batshit insane.

There are plenty of places to go on the internet if you want to be batshit including this forum where people openly call for violence and aren’t banned.

You think every conservative is kicked off Twitter?

Because I don't accept your excuse that websites are like power companies. They're not public utilities. That's just an excuse you are leaning on because you want to control them. Just like every fucking liberal who wants to co-opt the power of private wealth with government. You are honestly up against the same wall they are. In a free market, private wealth has more power to control society than government. That's the fact that liberals just can't accept. It gnaws at them and disrupts their fantasy that they can use the government to control their neighbors.

It's not just violence being banned, it's saying the election was stolen, or posting Qanon stuff. So that is "violence" now?

Meanwhile lefties can post anything, even calling for violence, and nothing happens to them.

And you condone it, you SJW loser.

Enjoy your hole in the gulag, you absolutist asshole.

 

[colfax_m]

You didn't answer my question about power companies.

Power companies are natural monopolies. People can only really access one power company due to the physical limitations and cost of running redundant infrastructure. There cannot be a natural monopoly on the internet. It’s literally the opposite set of circumstances since your access to websites is not limited by ISPs.

Are you denying that QAnon wasn’t driving the Capitol Hill riot?
