    That Sounds GREAT.

    Parler has become a Dangerous Tool for Deranged Conspiracy Theorists to spread their Insurrection Talk.

    Great move by Google.

    Long overdue.

    This is not new from Lin Wood. He tweeted similar stuff before getting banned from Twitter. He is not calling on the protesters to execute Pence. He wants him arrested for treason and then executed by the courts. That is probably why it does not violate Parler's ToS.

    That's true. In fact, it would accelerate it since those platforms would be legally liable for the content they post. That would of course lead to the end of their role as virtual town squares. The only way they could maintain that status is...not censor.

    They will little by little attempt to remove and ban those as well. Welcome to Biden's America.

    It's not censorship. It would be censorship, if the government would have told google to remove parler from the app store, or would have closed their wesbite.

    However, it is Google's appstore, they can host in it anything they like, or kick out anything they don't like, just like any regular store can decide to not sell books that contain hate speech or Nazi stickers with swastikas on them.

    These are very hard concepts for conservatives to grasp.

    Oh of course it is. It’s forcing conservarives to abandon one of their claims. Either they support the free market and business decisions , or they have to abandon their radicalized views. This divide can be amplified on the national level to divide radicalized peoples, so violence doesn’t break out.

    I get the feeling you all think we are all radical Nazis and that is far from the truth. Any Nazis in ethier party are a tiny minority and not a problem in America.

    As a member of parler I don't see any radical talking points besides a few people not wanting Trump to give up. It's a friendly normal place for the most part. Far less hostile than the Twitter environment.

    Oh no. That's what I'm counting on. All I'm saying is that Trump supporters rely on a coalition, and the simplest way to undermine coalitions are divide and rule. Some people like Trump because of Tax cuts. Others like him because he stokes racial tensions. So make those divisions on salient points, divide up the coalition. Then make compromises with the faction you want and you isolated radicals. Once they're isolated divide further until they no longer have any voice in the party.

    Also I just posted the CSIS report saying right wing terrorism is a problem in the US.

    They dont want us to stay United because it increases thier chances of winning elections.

    They don't want us to have a platform to communicate on for this reason.

    They don't want us to have any power and right now we don't besides the Supreme Court and soon that will be lost due to "packing" the Supreme Court.

    The Democrats see us as the enemy. They are at war and will do anything to destroy us. They have the media, big tech and millions of mislead young immature Americans to help them win that war. They also have most of the money in this country. Simply put the Democrats are evil.

    It will be hard for Parler to fight that evil.

    No, quite the opposite. It's private enterprise flexing its muscle in a free society. Don't like it. Move to China.

    Left wing terrism is a problem in this country. Just look at all of the people murdered in Chicago.

    Trump is no longer president and not the issue. He is not even on Parler. We use Parler as a way to communicate. I don't see any radicals on Parler calling for violence. If there is those people are few and far between. Twitter is worse.

    The Democrats are evil. They do not care about us. They just want power.

    Unless you are a member of Parler than you don't know how the environment is. It's a very friendly place for the most part. There is millions of members so there will be a few bad apples.

    Big tech just does not want the competition and the Democrats don't want us to have a voice. Twitter is losing millions of members over this and they should. Facebook too.

    Nah.

    You've got it All WRONG.

    Parler is being used as a tool by Traitors to plot against the Government.

    The Supporters of Trump who (Egged-On by Trump) staged that Deadly Act of Domestic Terrorism don't deserve the Freedom to post their Insurrection BS on Parler, Etc.

    They can go back to where they were before Trump was elected:

    Deep Web Chatrooms with Bigfoot worshippers and Alien Conspiracy Theorists.

    Nazi is your word not mine.
    What I think conservatives are will get deleted because none of you can stand the truth.

    You get that google/apple/facebook etc all make their users agree to the same terms right? I'm assuming you know that.

    Now you sit here and defend those companies silencing political opposition while letting their side do the exact same thing (yea, they do). They claim it violates their rules. They don't apply their rules equally, tons of examples have been posted throughout this forum and the internet.

    But hey, like a lefty is going to give a **** about treating people equally.

    You just don't like differing opinions. Many on the left feel the same way as you. It's all about removing anyone or anything you do not agree with.

    Do you think that Rachel Maddow should be able to demand air time on Fox News or be able to demand that Brietbart post her editorials?
    Simple question. Yes or No.

    Wrong on all accounts.

    Nobody is against the free market. All users sign the same EULA's but the companies blatantly violate their own agreements with the users by silencing those they disagree with politically. You absolutely can't justify shutting down parler but not twitter or facebook. There is absolutely no defense that any lefty can come up with as endless examples of lefties inciting violence can be found on any of these platforms. So why parler......we all know why.

    You couldn't be anymore wrong and Wed proved that.
    Its always been a truism that the the GOP is guilty of what they are accusing the Democrats of doing.
    That remains the case.

    Have you seen any such plotting? I have not. Trump is done. It's over. This is just retaliation from the left for all those Antifa/Trump people that stormed the Capitol.

    30,000 Democrats stormed the Wisconsin State Capitol in 2011. Democrats did it for Brett Kavanaugh too. They have a history of being violent. They most likely led the charge into the Capitol building.

    Parler is a free speech platform and I have yet to see it get as bad as Twitter. Are you a member? It's a friendly place for the most part.

    Of course not. She doesn't have an agreement with them.

    Wanna try something that's actually comparable?

    Your inability to respond was enough for me.

    Wensday was Democrats storming the Capitol. The Democrats have a history of doing this.

    FB_IMG_1610158434315.jpg FB_IMG_1610158429817.jpg

    Parler had nothing to do with Wensday and there is no organized effort to overthrow the election. Trump is done.

    This was retaliation, big tech removing competition and the left trying to silence us conservatives.

    Sad that your side has to do this stuff to try to win. They will do anything to keep us devided.
