Yes, it's as simple as that. Organizations that keep criminal activity off of their site don't get hassled by their upstream providers.

You're aware #HangMikePence is trending on Twitter right now unmoderated, right?

Your claims and position on these issues are not universally held. You may very well hold them honestly and sincerely, but they are not incontovertible facts, but rather your assessment of things.
In particular, your beliefs and understandings are not held by some of the people who hold the kind of power being discussed in this comment thread.
This is the part that I don't get. Why is this part up for debate? What is the truth? What's the evidence one way or the other?
On one hand, Parler was the platform a bunch of right-wingers and domestic terrorists used to coordinate a half-non-violent half-violent storm on Capitol Hill. Parler didn't moderate that, and therefore they are being shut down by big tech who has deemed they deserve to be censored.
On the other, I'm sure we could find some like... radical Islam groups on Twitter/Facebook, no? Or is that the difference? Twitter + Facebook appropriately censor content and Parler didn't and it's as simple as that?
