Why are you saying "probably"? A lot of it was backed up. You can go check for yourself, it was very markedly not limited.

Feel free to share your hard evidence, with comparisons to total number of users and total message volume. Until then, you're making an unproven claim.

>not forget about all the violence in BLM riots over the last year, much of which was organized and popularized on social media platforms like Twitter or Facebook, who all get a pass.
Elaborating on that:
There was a mass shooting in New Zealand that was live streamed on Facebook. Now, imagine for a moment, what the public response would be if that had been on parler.
And yes it is a free speech issue when several companies that have left leaning cultures and leaders take concurrent actions to block a right leaning platform that mostly carries fully legal speech.
