They are taking down whole platforms like Parlor (I don't really know what Parlor is and have never visited it, but I know it's anti-American to take it down). I'm not talking about incitement to riot. I believe Biden won, but questioning the election results should absolutely be allowed. Questioning the World Health Organization should absolutely be allowed. Questioning any official story should absolutely be allowed. It's anti-American to not allow it, and it's beside the point that the government itself isn't the one doing the censoring. The mass censorship is having the same effect basically.
Think of Parler as a combination of Twitter and Instagram, but populated mostly by far right wing nutjobs who spew every sort of wingnut conspiracy and hate you've ever heard. Platforms like Twitter and Parler work by storing all that information people post on servers (which are mostly rented), which are connected to the Internet via some Internet Service Provider (ISP). If the company who owns the servers or the ISP doesn't want to be associated with hate speech, don't you think it's their decision to make to kick the service off their hardware? Think of it like this, if Hobby Lobby were to go into the datacenter business or purchase an ISP and someone came up with a newfangled porn app, should Hobby Lobby be forced to host it? Anyway, they will probably find some douchebag company that will be happy to host it and it will be back up soon. I mean, Pornhub has no problem getting a host and that's pretty sleazy.

You can't really blame him, can you? I also never imagined we would need metal detectors to go to a football game, but that's where we are.
Why is it so?
