By same logic twitter should be Shutdown. Constant death threats and calls for violence. Heck many rappers make a living glorifying violence.

Even watched in real-time this past summer as people organized to come burn down my neighborhood. But those were good democrats that wanted white people to burn, so that’s excusable.

This has nothing to with violence, and is pure political suppression. Amazon, twitter and others were just waiting for the first viable excuse.

Downvote me to hell, but study history of other socialist / Marxist take overs; you will see the same pattern.

Please stop using HN primarily for political and ideological battle. It's not what this site is for, and we ban accounts that do it. We have to, because it destroys this place.

HN is for thoughtful, curious conversation on topics of intellectual interest. Ideological fulmination is not that. Please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules.

Twitter very aggressively filters, suspends, and bans people for posting violence, promotion of violence, attacks on groups based on religion, race, etc

Parler actively avoided moderating even explicitly called out posts by their own service provider.

In fact the only thing parler apparently moderated was insufficiently right wing accounts, as accounts apparently started off shadow banned until their account was found to be sufficiently right wing.

Please stop posting political battle comments to HN. You've been using HN primarily for that lately, and we ban such accounts, because it destroys what this site is for.

I'm not going to ban you right now because https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25668906 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25667176 are fine posts. But you've unfortunately been posting a lot of comments that break the site guidelines—please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and don't do that any more.
