Call me cynical, but the short term calculus of the tech companies involved seems pretty clear: after the Democrats have now won the Senate too, they are very quick to block Trump, Parler etc. So they are no better than the Republicans who supported or condoned Trump's antics so far and are only now discovering their conscience when it has become clear that his grip on power is slipping. The proverbial rats getting off the sinking ship...

It’s hard to ban someone with an army and nukes. Judging from what did actually just happen, their employees would be in danger if they’d done it before this. There are people on Parler discussing killing @jack as is.
