Parler isn't a bastion of free speech. They make the same "we don't want to be associated with certain users" decision that FB and Twitter do, often in the exact same ways. They just don't ban or limit far-right conspiracy.

So should we also cancel sites like Twitter that don't ban far-left conspiracy?

You can cancel them if you want. Whoever heeds your call to cancel Twitter will stop using Twitter. If Twitter bought some LACNIC IP space but didn't have a DC or office there, I'd support revoking those IPs as well since it'd be fraud.

Straight up, I believe this is the only comment who understands the situation.

If those far-left conspiracists are using the platform to coordinate terrorist attacks, absolutely.

@judge2020 I'm aware Parler is a subpar platform (compared to Gab for example). But this de-platforming BS needs to stop. It's pathetic.
