Parler Deplatforming Debate

Are you referring to the way that Parler censors views it doesn't agree with?

Twitter, Reddit, and Facebook ban people all the time for calls to violence. Reddit made the national news last year because moderators of r/The_Donald failed to police the numerous posts of users who plotted to murder the governor of Michigan.Parler, by contrast, did not moderate calls to violence. It quickly became a safe space for neo-fascists to plan, coordinate, and execute plots against the US government.Parler was playing a completely different game to Twitter, Reddit, and FB.

Why is Parler shut down and Facebook not?

There isn’t really anything related to free speech here. No one censored parler, let alone the government. Amazon and Apple didn’t even censor them, just refused to support their product because they failed to live up to the terms of service.The only element of free speech ironically was that Parler was found to censor left-leaning and moderate messages in its forum.

Parler failed to moderate to the standards of Facebook, Amazon, and Twitter, oh my

Twitter very aggressively filters, suspends, and bans people for posting violence, promotion of violence, attacks on groups based on religion, race, etcParler actively avoided moderating even explicitly called out posts by their own service provider.In fact the only thing parler apparently moderated was insufficiently right wing accounts, as accounts apparently started off shadow banned until their account was found to be sufficiently right wing.

create a better alternative to Parler, more robust against de-platforming by Bigtech, half the country will thank you

What "single" post are you talking about?Parler had thousands of offending posts and users and refused to moderate at all after being told to to be in compliance with various ToS.It's no surprise that Amazon, Apple, Google, Twilio, etc., do not want to be associated with or support violent seditionists.

Parler got destroyed and fb gets what? A slap on the wrist

Your*Most of the people who are saying this never actually looked at the site, the reality is the majority of the content seen was no worse than that of Twitter, in some ways better and more politer (that's what you get with an echo chamber), but every argument leveraged against Parler could be leveraged 10x over against Twitter. So no matter what intentions are, the effect is the same. You can't in good faith argue Parler deserves to be taken down anymore than Twitter and many oth
