Amazon, Apple and Google Cut Off Parler

everyone has a limit. for google, amazon, Twitter, Facebook, tik tok, Twitch and reddit. It is the point when there are screams for violence against lawmakers, the vice president, the president elect, the speaker of the house and the speaker of the senate. These are no empty threats as we saw last week and the companies which have the data are seeing plans for more violence being made on their platforms. They know more than we are and they are reacting like this. I think it will get worse in the next days and if there is a coup you are complicit and more important if your intentions in this post are honorable you will try to discuss the exact same thing we are discussing right now and will be shutdown and laughed at.

This is no morale debate anymore your choice is life or death. As a German I think about 1923 the attempted beer house coup in Munich and the lax response to Adolf Hitler and can only shake my heads at people like you.

At least I hope your sentiment comes from a high morale standpoint and not from misdirection as so many are in these threads.

If there we screams for violence then prosecute those people. This is blanket censorship and anti competitive monopoly capitalism. Gear up for the gulags, because that's where this leads.

So in your mind the choice is between gulags and concentration camps and you are saying you want the concentration camps, noted.

I want neither options and behold the screams of people like yourself this is unprecedented that we the people or companies have the power to surpress calls for violence and sedition from a government working on a coup to stop the will of their own people. I am glad that we try it with whatever will come of it because we know from history what will happen if we do not.

If you look at the media outlets left and right they decided to pull trump of the air for much less and we don't see even fox, oan or other right wing media giving him a platform. 90% of the censorship calls are one-sided as well I see no one screaming about parler or thedonald.win banning progressive politicians or users on sight. your bias shows and it's abhorrent.

Most of the western democracies (all?)except the US don't have that unregulated concept of free speech. I don't see and hear anything about gulags in GB, France or Germany. They just don't have mobs trying to overtrhow the gouvernemnt.

I'm sorry to disappoint you. We had something like this in Germany around August [0]. We call them "querdenker" and they are basically a group of neonazis, esoteric people, covid is a hoax people and right wingers.

I really forgot about these nutbags. But while they are a sure frindge extremists they are far from beeing a risk of overthrowing the gouvernment.
