    They probably got tired of Parler being #1 and getting alot more people than Twitter and Facebook. This has nothing to do with Wensday. They have ulterior motives I'm sure.

    Parler can still be accessed on any Android/iOS phone through browser.

    And government if needs be, can build their own social media platform, phone os, and hardware. You just need to be willing to pay with taxes.

    That's the backlash of all those Christian schools and home schooling.

    Some day you may realize there are limits to so-called "free-speech", as it is illegal to yell fire in a theatre just to panic people. Claiming one should be allowed to say what they want, I doubt we want jihadists on this social sites calling for terrorism.

    Once again, she doesn't have an agreement with fox. This is not a valid comparison.

    You literally have nothing to counter what I'm saying. Take your totalitarian viewpoints to someone willing to entertain them because I'm done unless you actually want to address what I've said.

    Trump broke the agreement he had with Twitter when he click the button to accept the TOS and then disregard it many time.

    If this was happening to Democrats these people would be complaining.

    I hate double standards.

    Don't talk to me, talk to the Supreme Court. They've already ruled on forcing private companies to be a platform for speech that goes against
    company policy.

    Wrong thread? This isn't about Trump.

    Either way that's fine. If twitter wants to ban trump, I'm fine with it if they genuinely determine that he violated their TOS. What's indefensible is all the lefties who've done much worse and yet are ignored by twitter. You can't defend the hypocrisy and that really is the point.

    How can you defend google pulling parler from the app store but keeping twitter and facebook? You can't because anything you deem offensive on parler can be found ten fold on facebook or twitter. That's really the point to this thread. Sad so many lefties can't see it (or don't want to....or refuse to).

    Fine.

    Defend the hypocrisy. Because that's the point.

    If you defend google pulling parler, how do you defend them keeping facebook and twitter when you can find far worse on those platforms? You can't and that's the point.
