A social network that hosts terrorist content.


Every social network ever in the history of humanity has hosted terrorist content.

Also any opinion ever in the history of humanity could be interpreted as being "terrorist content" by someone.

Are you seriously implying we should be going back to a modern version of book burning?

I just can't get my head around how apparently the majority of people seems to be back at "censorship is good", us good they bad.


What is and what is not protected speech has been pretty clearly defined over the years. Honestly though it doesn't matter because these are private companies.

Parler has failed to moderate extremist content and is acting as a platform for radicalizing new users.

Apple, Google, Amazon, and Twitter have a decided independently that the lost revenue and maga tears are worth not having to host far right terrorists.

Parler can host itself if it wants, nobody has made it illegal to be a gaping asshole.
