Maybe stop violating the terms of service you agree to when you sign up for each respective site and you want have to get censored or banned.

Weird how it's all good for a bakery to deny service for a gay couple's wedding cake because it's against the bakery's unwritten rules, but it's censorship for a social media company to deny service based on a legally binding terms of service agreement that you sign off on when signing up for the website. Plus there is the whole thing of it being an actual crime to incite violence.

Got no problem with this at all.

But is it applied accross the board? Has everyone who has said something to “incite violence” on each of those sites been banned? Or even censored for that matter? Do they censor or ban everyone who violates terms of service?

Or is it selective? If so...What are those selections based on?

I saw violence being incited all across Twitter and FB all summer. Guess it’s only a crime when the opposition does it.

Antifa incites violence about every night, in fact.

They didn't deny SERVICE, though.. thats something the left keeps messing up. They just weren't going to put a gay message on a cake. Big difference..

Personally, I'll put whatever the hell you want on a cake so long as you're paying me. But if some bakery doesn't want to make gay cakes, that's their call.

False. Many violate it and never get banned because they agree with the snowflake agenda.

The first time I ever heard of Parler was in a business article about social media competitors. Parler was reported as being popular with arabs and nazis because they could share antisemitism freely. I started an account last month to mess with my crazy family. Y'all moving to a real nice neighborhood. :oops:

It will be dead after 11:59 pm pacific time. Amazon pulling web hosting services for it and seemingly no one else wants the potential legal liability of hosting it.

Too bad. I just made my account yesterday to keep up with some of my ex-FB folks, just to see what they had to say about this last week.

Site is a gold mine for identity theft and other problems if a bad actor hacks into it. They basically do nothing to protect privacy outside of being an HTTPS site, and is apparently a poorly coded website. I read that anyone verified on there had to upload a picture of their ID and give them your social security number. And of course you have to include your phone #.

Yes. I used a Google Voice number on sign up. I looked at the verification thing and it did ask for front AND back of your ID. Shutting it down is helping these folks more than they know.

With a ton of press it's now a liability. They didn't have a problem until it hurt the business model. It doesn't have anything to do with right/left, it's about sales.

Heard the same about the security. Most accounts I looked up were obvious fakes and mining info.

On 60 Minutes- With their words and actions, Trump and Giuliani incriminated themselves with fraud, obstruction and threatening Georgia state officials. Other republicans are in hiding due to threats from Trump supporters.

The Paddock- But Benghazi...But her emails...But BLM...But China...But voter fraud and a Trump landslide!

60 Minutes? The same “news” show that refused to touch the Biden laptop story when it was known to be real?

Yeah, I’m sure everything they’re spewing is verryyy objective.

What a troll. Let's just ignore the Ayatollah Khomeini's numerous antisemitic tweets that Twitter defends keeping up.

One verified for Kelly Loefler (I think) was asking for people to submit their email address and phone #s so they can maintain communication. Some willingly gave it

Another was a person pretending to be an office in the Trump administration asking people who participated in the events in DC this week to submit info they need to get pardoned. Some people actually submitted real info and the guy running the account turned it over to the FBI.

TL;DR people are stupid

I maintain the whole thing was a grift to build a contacts database to sell because I don’t know how else they were making money.

I tried to warn you all that Parler was built by the NSA to get data on people on the right. Now that they’ve got it they shut it all down. I’d be very worried if I’d signed up for that site.

I guess I am old school but if a company doesn't want my business I go to one that does. Maybe that is why I am broke from not suing everyone who doesn't agree with me.

Regardless of who was behind the the site and why (I don’t really care to argue over that since it’s impossible to prove at the moment), it should have been a massive red flag to everyone that to get verified on there required submitting a drivers license and social security # via the internet.

There are numerous other ways to verify someone is who they claim they are without having to give away information you can use to steal their identity.

If you do anything on the internet such as shop, apply for credit cards, etc then you are exposing yourself to the possibility of your identity being stolen.

Not to this level. Social security number and Drivers License versus verifying if your email address is accurate and legit secure credit card transactions are not the same. This was a half assed attempt at recreating a multi-billion dollar platform. And they got half assed results.
