What I find amazing is that Parler was not used to plan the January 6th Capitol building attack, but Facebook and Twitter WERE used by the groups involved. But alleged "hate speech" on Parler was the rationalization for taking down the forum, and Facebook and Twitter, which was ACTUALLY USED for planning violent attacks and celebrating them (Jon Sullivan, Antifa) never had anything deleted.
The FBI even arrested Jon Sullivan, and yet to the prosecutors' frustration, the judge allowed Sullivan to not stay in jail and just have house arrest. And EVEN AFTER HE WAS ARRESTED AND PROSECUTED, Twitter and Facebook STILL allow him to post his venom on their forums.
And yet it is only insinuated and not proven that Parler was used to post hate that provoked violence, and they are completely shut down, based on no evidence.
The double-standard is obscene.
Add to that how the Ayatollah in Iran is able to post holocaust denial, and genocidal threats to wipe out Israel on Facebook and Twitter.
And the Chinese communist leaders enslave 2 to 3 million Uyghurs in their northwester Xinjiang province in concentration camps, and on Facebook and Twitter these Chinese officials boast and propagandize that they are "liberating" Uyghur women somehow to better lives by forced sterilization and slave labor.
These posts Facebook and Twitter allow to be posted. But they completely lockdown all Republican thought, communication and information sharing, as "potentially dangerous and inciting violence". Again, based on no evidence.
But then, these same Facebook and Twitter companies also reap billions doing business in China, and giving the Chinese government tools like helping the Chinese government spy on its citizens, and use face-recognition technology to surveil their citizens and lock them up in concentration camps. The irony of tech giants locking down conservative thought, while enableing the most brutal and genocidal speech and governments on earth is just staggering.
