> What else do you call the complete removal of parler?

Failure to adhere to terms and services or to express intent to adhere to them going forward.

Parler couldn't or wouldn't stop people from breaking their providers' terms of service and didn't show a good-faith effort towards doing so. Other right-wing outlets do do those things, and have not gotten drilled despite their odious beliefs.

I don't understand why your comment is flagged and dead! You are making a perfectly reasonable point. HN admins, what is unacceptable about what is being stated - I genuinely do not see it.

If you start going on about "election fraud", as that poster did, I'll usually flag the post.

In this case, with my reply, I preferred to point out the obvious mischaracterization and leave addressing the mendacious falsehoods to others, but it looks like others decided to do something about it.

Is it not possible to talk about election fraud? I believe that this really has happened historically.

I would be fine to agree with you if you have proven that there is not election fraud, but obviously having a different opinion is not proof.
