    230 is a regulation that allows censorship. The argument is circular as has been shown above.

    Amazon attempted the same thing with Alex Berenson’s books until Elon Musk wrote them a letter.

    Parler will likely recover by purchasing all their own equipment, but GAB is strategically way ahead of the game. The CEO of GAB has invited Parler users to join them while Parler gets their own equipment.

    GAB had a similar experience in its early days (founded in 2016) of setting up a Free Speech social media company, being banned from Paypal, Mastercard, cut off from Google/Apple app stores, and getting slammed by Left State media as a site for nothing but "racists and white national extremists". (Eye-roll on that last one.) Since then, they have purchased their own servers to host free speech social media, video services, and developed their own web browser. I think they are even working on their own phone to compete with iPhone.

    With the Parler shutdown by The State's Big Tech oligopoly branch, people are rushing to GAB which went from tens of thousands of users a few weeks ago to having 35 millions visitors over the last week and getting about half a million new members signing up every day. The site keeps crashing with the huge swarm of new users while they are adding 10 new servers which were delivered over on Saturday.

    Trump opened an account on GAB in 2016, but chose Twitter for better traffic. Over the weekend, Trump's GAB account has grown from less than 100k to over 1 million. He is being quiet right now, but I expect that GAB will be his new social media "home" in about 9 days. GAB should have all the new servers installed by then. I think they'll need more than 10 to handle the traffic once Trump starts Gabbing.

    Anyway, it's a bad idea to censor free speech on a broad platform like Twitter and send everyone into divided thought bubbles, IMO. But Jack seems to not have much consideration for the consequences of becoming just one more arm of the Democrat Party State media.

    Will the Biden admin be able to shut down GAB, possibly under the new "Domestic Terrorism" legislation which Biden has endorsed? They will try. Taking political prisoners for the crime of dissent against The State seems likely in the not-distant future of the U.S.S.A.

    75 million did not vote for him ... Dominion machines were changing Biden votes to Trump votes and Trump operatives were hiding illegal Trump votes in suitcases under a table and then scanned them 3 times ...

    None of this is remotely true. Please do your homework. Dominion did not change any votes. The "suitcases" you are talking about were standard ballot cases that had been filled in full view of the media and observers. They were taken back out on livestream for everyone to see.

    Sasquatch didn't rig this election. Stop falling for fringe conspiracy garbage.

    EDIT: Lol, man, I totally jumped the gun. Thank you for that. Preserving the egg on my face for posterity.

    When you look at the median IQ of a population, you've to understand that half of the people are Bellow that score, hence the 75 millions who voted for Trump.

    You are trying to compare a private company to a nation.

    China would ORDER Amazon to host a pro-president propaganda outlet like Parler, which is EXACTLY what you are demanding too.

    Good. A private company should be able to decide what kind of content they allow.

    Why do you have such a hard time with this? Why do you think the government should force their hand? Is it because your boy is the head of the government?

    It seems Trump is "in the know" about all kinds of fraud, but won't publish the information. What is he hiding? How many really voted for him? 25 million? 20 million?

    Thanks for the information. I will look into GAB.

    Meanwhile there is the anti trust argument and the political contribution argument. We hear that if you don’t like Facebook start something else. That’s what Parler did. And then Amazon and Apple and others colluded to shut Parler down.

    The Democrats want to turn the US into country which follows the Red China model.

    Projection or running scared, because the actions and threats coming from the Democrats are uncanny.

    They project! you project!
    It's what some do!
    And cannot see what's fine and true.
    But only see themselves in you.

    Yet they should know that what they say,
    reflects on them in a bad way.
    For others not a fool will be

    to fall for their projectory - Jeannette

    68 people arrested in Capital breach. Not one a Parlar account holder. All on Facebook. Everyone has been fore-warned about the dangers of electing the socialists. They are aligned with the communists and anarchists. They have infiltrated both parties and all institutions. Peace maker? I don't see it. Expect more chaos not less in the next couple years. The Republicans will never win the White house for a long time. The Democrats will become the home of the socialists for a few years and they too will be fractured by a third party. Reap what you sow. Anyone who really cares about America has to wonder "Who are all these cowards that want to destroy what once was a great country that settled it's differences at the ballot box in a honest way".

    They are quilty and think there will be no backlash. Guess again. I have always had Apple products but not anymore. I never used Facebook but have used Google and I will remove them as my browser also.

    I'm comparing the suppression of free speech to totalitarianism and violation of the Sherman anti trust laws and political contributions legislation. In all of this Amazon is violating the law. BTW Twitter shares just lost 12%. The morons running the place have placed their right foot over their left foot and shot themselves in the right foot.
