They pass themselves off as mere conduits rather than publishers to avoid responsibility for what goes on on their sites. You’re talking about eliminating Section 230, which is exactly what Trump wants to do and would destroy the Internet as we know it. No thanks.

You may not like it but when big tech can basically censor anything it wants we're treading on some fucked up ice right now.. The first I’m hearing of this is today, and for the record I think it’s a huge mistake. Even though private companies have a right to censor, I don’t think they should make sweeping bans like this and de-platform huge swaths of people. It will backfire. You drive these people more underground and they’ll cause a hell of a lot more trouble when we’re least expecting it. There are no group of people on the planet who can’t find a place to gather on the Internet. That’s the good and the bad of it. If you’re one of 5 people in the world who get off on fat transsexual midgets shitting bananas out of their assholes, you’re going to find your people and share your interest. There’s a place for everyone. To think that you can stop a few million hardcore Trump supporters from finding ways to do exactly what they’re doing now is not only foolhardy and arrogant, it’s dangerous. They will become more ostracized, more radicalized, and more violent. Trying to silence people is never the answer and never changes minds. I feel that way when universities ban conservative speakers and I feel that way now.

So, wait, what’s the deal with other Twitter people? I’m seeing news that Twitter is purging hundreds of thousands of people. Is it more than jus Trump?

Google and Apple can choose to remove any app from their stores. It's not the government doing it, they are not illegal, so this isn't a freedom issue. Just like any other removed app, if you want it, the file is extremely easy to download from the web.

Also, try posting something "leftist" on Parler and see how long you last on the free speech app.

Infamous wrote: Imagine your phone company dropping your phone service for something you said over your phone calls That's not a fair comparison, one is a private conversation and one is a forum accessible by millions. Also, your phone company may well drop your service depending on what you said and to whom.

Phones are accessible to millions too. A private conversation that can still get dropped depending on what's said ? This is kind of the point
