Just going to leave this here for all the people who sympathize with the violent far-right and complain about not having "free speech"
Twitter and Facebook are fine to stay of course. Where they do nothing about Left-wing extremists outright promoting riots of Left-wing movements. Double standards. None of it is ok, so why the double standard?
Apple is demanding that Parler be responsible for the content posted by its users.
So basically Apple is demanding that Parler waive its Section 230 protections while lobbying to retain their own 230 privileges.

Is "thinking different" what you call actively planning violent acts inside of the next two weeks, open discussion about murdering politicians, etc.? Because THAT IS LITERALLY what is going on on Parler.
I'm so glad that the GOP is toast. No more power. No more Mitch in charge of the Senate. No more Twitter for Trump. The garbage, it is getting THROWN AWAY.
It’s funny how liberal lefties didn’t say a word all summer long when the democrats was causing a race divide that’s what they do best they want everything to be about race to cause riots and they all stayed very quiet while 300 people died and cities burnt down but now they wanna pipe up over a few people walking into the capital and taking selfie’s with police
I have a mortgage and run a successful business and doing well so keep taking
Ummm, yes. They fear it may lead to more death. That meaning of that sayin doesn't really hold up here...
This is exactly the problem. No consistency from big tech.
It's funny how you call multi-racial groups coming together to demand equality for all people "causing a race divide," but the folks who were involved with the coup attempt wearing swastikas and other garments of racist white power fascism are... what? Believers in equal rights and racial unity? LOL!
Give it up. The GOP is now officially, for the record, the party of racists. Some of them have begun to embrace it much more openly, and I assume this trend will continue. Get with the times!
Thank you for calling half of this country "garbage". Thank you for demonstrating that the self-proclaimed "party of tolerance" is actually the most intolerant bunch around.
Hi. There was no race divide. I’m a liberal, pinko, commie, lefty scumbag, and I did criticize the rioting and looting, though. But I also understand nuance.
Can you criticize the Nazis, actual Nazis, that have latched onto your party and its leader?
Parler can do what they what on their own website. This is the Epic Games thing all over again.
Let me guess...Four Seasons Total Landscaping? 🤣
We weren’t causing a race divide, we were protesting a race divide. A divide caused by white people that feel it’s okay for the police to murder black and brown people.
The App Store literally has thousands of Games that are extremely violent. But that doesn't fit their OBVIOUS agenda does it.
Oh yeah blm burning cities down with antifa and looting TVs is doing it for racial equality lol all this over a policeman killing a man that there’s no prove it was my because he was black, it’s always a race issue when it’s white on black there was no prove it was race related the policeman was a bad man and deserved to be done for murder but blm don’t care about it they burnt black businesses are many black people don’t support the Marxist group
I do believe Big Tech is much more sympathetic to BLM rioting, but it's a difficult comparison because they had no leader calling for it. Or if they did, I'm upset they weren't de-platformed but not upset that Parler and Trump were.
If you have access to any reputable news source, you will find what you are trying to find.
These are lies, dirty lies. Apple has told Parler that they need to make an attempt at moderating content that Apple does not allow on any app they distribute through the app store, period. They need to have a moderation policy. They need to TRY.
The problem with that is, Parler is literally a place that was set up to give white power neo nazi fascists who were getting kicked off of mainstream social media a place to go. It's the BUSINESS PLAN.
But please, keep trying to convince us that the racist fascists who are still trying to overthrow our democracy, via platforms like Parler, are the good guys. I'm not going to hold my breathe while I wait for you to convince me.
There is no rational expectation for people to be tolerant of the intolerable. Thanks for playing. Buh-bye now.
You obviously never had to deal with the English directly - even in a corporate environment they tend to want the opposite of what they want even if you let them pick for themselves what they want (yea: makes no sense but that's what it always feels like).
As to the EU we're FAR better off without the likes of Farage. Good riddance.
Freedom of speech is not a right to have a platform to broadcast your words, nor the right to have an audience.
It's "merely" the right to think and say what you want (within limits - no yelling fire in a crowded theater!) without the government coming after you for it.
The only difference between the typical European freedom of speech rules/laws and the 1st amendment in the US is that we allow a bit more restrictions in Europe. Those restrictions in Europe typically come and go depending on how society as a whole evolves vs. the rigidity in the US. But in daily life it typically has no impact whatsoever unless you're e.g. a neo-nazi : then it's better to apply for a green card as out in Europe you'll run into major trouble with the law.
The US had for a while more strict rules than the EU (e.g. the anit-smog rules in California were way ahead of what we had back then in Europe - smog as a word was even unknown out here). It's a dynamic thing who's ahead of whom. The Paris climate accord should have aligned it all a bit more, and likely will again sometime after Jan 20th.
