Yep, on many states something as simple as doing drugs is enough to kick you out at a moments notice even if are making no damage to the property. A digital platform being used to orchestrate the destroying of government buildings as well as planning the kidnap of gov officials and making death threats should get more lenience? Get outta here.

So if amazon found any illegal messages on twitter they would be justified to shutdown twitter without notice?

Twitter can make a good-faith argument they attempt to remove content that is questionable or that incites violence–they can point to millions of accounts and posts they’ve removed for those very reasons. The ceo of parler can not.

This wasn't one of the ways Parlor was being used, was the ONLY way it was being used, there were not thousands of scientists, mathematicians or people from all the politican spectrum like Twitter there, so any comparison with big social networks is misguided to put it mildly.

"Illegal messages" such as the planning of a coordinated attack on anyone with the intent of killing and altering law? You're goddamned right!
