Amazon, Apple and Google Cut Off Parler

Shouldn’t those offenders face jailtime instead of censorship when inciting violence? To not see the darkness might be worse as you don’t then see the effects of things. Maybe get a psychologist involved, some happy pills and the offenders can make US better instead of being a tax burden?

How can they face jail, if they are FBI operatives, acting on direct orders?

I means, are we supposed to believe, that FBI — the same FBI that surveils entirety of Internet and have backdoors in FAANG — fails to catch a whiff of ongoing revolts?! And police just yields Capitol to bunch of protesters?!? And they say, that Russian FSB is heavy on theatrics...

But that doesn't answer the question, that just shifts the immediate problem to "we need to fix our law enforcement".

I don't see how you can look at the United State's incredible incarceration rate and decide "Well we need to put more people in prison"

I would say Amazon removing Parler due to a TOS violation is preferable to locking up thousands of people in federal prison.
