Yeah! The employees of organized criminal gangs need to feed their families too!

They're honest, hardworking people. Why should they be penalized because the repressive system in which they live persecutes them for extortion, robbery, murder, sex trafficking and the like.

Arresting them and putting them in jail is just cruel and unfair!

Isn't this the point?

It isn't a responsibility of the electricity company or the landlord to investigate or apply punishments in criminal matters. Arresting them and putting them in jail is something the lawful authorities do, and there is a due process for it.

Haven't we been discussing for a long time now how section 230 of the CDA makes them immune for the content posted by users?

I don't think 'organized criminal gangs' is an apt description of Parler given that.

You're right.

Even though it's only a few hours ago, I'm not really sure exactly what point I was trying to make.

Which is kind of sad. I think I need some sleep.

If I can remember what the hell I was blathering on about after I wake up, I'll post again.

Thanks for calling me out.
