This is horrifying. I didn't like Parler but this is absolutely horrifying.

I think many Americans are really confused about the freedom of speech and the boundaries of speech. It comes with responsibility, without the responsibility, it is just pure selfish wilderness, such as baseless conspiracy theories, if we just it go wild, it will be the end.

It’s not horrifying. They were planing violence, murder, and overthrowing the government.

Genuinely asking - what are you advocating for? Companies always could do this whenever they wanted - it was within their legal right to. The only way to stop them if they wanted to would be through greater government regulation, which... doesn’t seem like what you’d espouse?

I agree. It's horrifying because speech is the pressure valve protecting us from violence. Speech suppression leads to MORE violence. .

Why? Companies are not under any obligation to platform people, and a great many people would have certainly been upset if they continued to show implicit support of that app.
