Did you read the Parler screen captures in the article? They are blatently and directly calling for death and murder. Prohibiting the inciting of violence is not a political decision.

Are you telling me that Twitter and Facebook have 100% coverage on their platforms? Ha!

They're barely read, they have like 5 upvotes. You can't expect a startup with insane growth to employ hundreds of people in a week.

Why not? They set themselves up as a free speech alternative to Twitter and begged people to move off that platform en masse. They already have the experience of Gab to consider. They knew what they were getting into, and this was exactly the sort of even they were hoping for (Trump being kicked off Twitter, huge numbers of people relocating to their platform).
