Whenever the discussion about Parler being a “free speech” platform comes up, I feel compelled to point out that they banned the DevinNunesCow parody account.

Parler was more than happy to moderate speech, even political speech, as is their right as the platform creator. Their breathless claims about being free speech absolutists is absolute nonsense.

I think Parler's angle was to become the home for popular conservative commentators. Parler continually suggested Hannity, Levin, D'Souza, etc as accounts to follow, even if you blocked those accounts.
