Oh yeah, a few of them were arrested, and then funds were raised by the liberal elite to bail them out. How quickly I forget.
On one hand, I have a nagging feeling that blocking sites and apps will backfire. It's not like these low-IQ Trumpers need more reasons to feed their delusions that Bill Gates (and now Tim Cook) are secret Q-anon leaders or whatever. On the other, it is totally reasonable for a company to decide that its products and sites cannot be used for hate speech and incitement to violence.
Apple should be suspended from having any great ideas for the coming 2-4 years. Remember forums? What was that all about. That was the social media of the day. We can't just ban things that has anything to do with anything.
I personally should be banned from just breathing with all the horrendous thoughts I have each waking moment. Destroy! Troll! Take is easy! Pr0n! Sleep! Flip someone off! Relax champion! You're not all that! I'm the greatest of all time and I shall take over the world!!!
YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Telegram, MacRumors, Discord - everything I use is an option for me to feel some validation. I'd like Apple to take the steps to remove Parler from the App Store. I thought for a long time about signing up for this.
I'll eventually probably do nothing about it and just sit idle as the slouch I am.

And it was totally amazing to see all the neo nazis, boogaloo boys, proud boys etc caught inciting riots, starting fires, hurling stuff at police to get a violent response, etc
How many Democrats tried to start an insurrection on Wednesday? Why don't you go exchange another iPhone and sit this one out.
Why is not letting your users promote violence such a controversial stance?Apple should be suspended from having any great ideas for the coming 2-4 years. Remember forums? What was that all about. That was the social media of the day. We can't just ban things that has anything to do with anything.

How quickly you stood up a strawman only to knock it down. I suggest you do some research and not rely on your sentiments.
Do they really have to reach the point of murder before they can be qualified as Nazism behavior? What about literally performing Nazi salutes?

What about what GoP lawmakers literally quoting Hitler, and condemned by the literal Holocaust surviors you're referring to?

What about inviting a literal Holocaust denier to a State of the Union address event?

There's people that haphazardly toss out accusations of Nazism. There's also genuine Nazi comparisons. Look past the former and you'll understand why it's not off base at all.
I think the difference here is those other apps/sites advertise their terms of service, and then actually enforce them. It would be like Instagram suddenly allowing pornography.
Let's be honest, if the orange man conceded like a gentlemen on November 8th, January 6th would never have happened.
One man kept stirring up a crowd for 2 months. One man keeps peddling conspiracy theories. One man pointed at the State Capitol while smiling at armed nutbars with twist ties.
“A few” = an estimated 14,000 people who were arrested in protests nationwide this summer. Over 400 people were arrested in DC alone over a 4-day period this summer. And many of them were beaten with batons, pepper-sprayed, tear-gassed, shoved to the ground, or shot with rubber bullets. It’s getting pretty sad to watch the right concoct tortured arguments to justify their Messiah inciting insurrection against his own government.
So they are all allowed to say this and nothing happens
Civil unrest is not the same as domestic terrorism. Over throwing the government, or trying to overturn a free and fair election is not a conservative view. It’s a terrorist view. Please stop calling yourselves conservative.
Nothing like an App Store thread to shine a light on insurgency supporters, what a week!
They smeared feces on the walls of the Capital.
They literally smeared their own **** on the walls, doors, furniture, and carpet, of the United States Capital building!
Like animals! They smeared their own poop IN THE CAPITAL!!!
There is NO EXCUSE for that level of desecration! None At All!!!

You’re proving my point, how do three or four people represent half of America? Are we going to apply these same standards to Harris and Biden? Or is this only an issue when it’s with the party you disagree with?
Joe Bidens america is the end of freedom
I see some of the Trump cult members posting BLM related quotes. Right on schedule. We saw actual domestic terrorists invading the US Capitol all with Trump flags. If you still support Trump after all of this, you are no different.
If that crowd were black or muslim, they would have killed every single one of them.

No, it really shouldn't worry anyone.
Running into a theatre and shouting 'FIRE!" is not freedom of speech. Peddling baseless conspiracy theories which end up with people getting killed for literally NOTHING is not Freedom of Speech. Freedom of Speech is not absolute. Opinion does not carry the same weight as facts.
When you sign up to a service provided by a private company, part of that process involves you agreeing to abide by their terms and conditions. If you do not, they are entitled to show you the door, and rightly so, as you already agreed to that.
Don't like the T's & C's? Don't click that button. What do you mean, you didn't read them? Isn't it apparent where the problems lies for those decrying this move as an attack on Free Speech and the rise of Communism/Marxism in the US?
Simple propaganda for simple minds. Your susceptibility to this kind of propo is exactly why you have been so easily brainwashed.
Awww, you poor thing. I know you want things to go back to the 1950s where it was nothing but white people but that is not happening. Tell me what freedoms are you going to lose the next 4 years?
