    Russian based DDoS-Guard is just acting as the middleman to block DOS attacks on the site. They have denied being the host for the site.

    Nobody yelled fire in any theater on Parler. What’s your proof of that.

    It's a metaphor. Thought that was obvious.

    It’s then a metaphor for nothing.

    Why would antifa human waste publish riot details?

    When did I say that Section 230 should be REMOVED?

    How can rules be respected if they're not applied equally?

    Section 230 (and the entire legislation) must be rewritten. See post #368.

    What about simply removing "or otherwise objectionable" from 2A?

    Does Twitter and Facebook need to stop being a platform for terrorism?

    BLM calls for violence more frequently and openly. So it can be considered political opinion.
    For some reason only non-BLM political opinion is punished.

    Call it whatever you want. You made a claim which is obvious misinformation / propaganda from places like QAnon and/oe 8Chan (or Moscow troll farms), and when you got called out, you try to evade by screaming "deflection, deflection". That's weak. Deflection from what? From not embracing conspiracy theories?

    Prove your claims.

    No. Lot of actions are "punished". Obey the terms of service, and you won't be "punished". I have contacts in FB who post right wing political nonsense all day long and no one punishes them. Why? Because their behavior does not cross the line. In the other hand I have non-RW friends who have been banned.

    Why cross the line and then play the victim when they face the consequences? It makes people look like losers and whiners.

    You need to pick an argument and stick with it, because trying to argue two opposite things make you look like something less than credible.

    Is Twitter and FB deleting conservative speech, or are they just like Parler who deleted nothing?

    Pick one and run with it, because it can't be both.

    You are aware that in order to shut down these terrorists, they are ALSO censoring a huge chunk of nonviolent posters.

    It would be like big tech cracking down on Jacob Blake posts during the summer. It was largely reported that police shot an unarmed black man...for weeks. That was false, and everyone complicit in spreading that lie contributed to great violence and destruction.

    Yet no ban on Blake talk. I can't find videos on YouTube discussing potential election discrepancies. They censor them. How would the left like it if when they searched for discussion on Blake, or Floyd, etc, and they found squat?

    Mainstream media and WHO need to stop practicing terrorism.

    What proof have you offered to prove that the government told social media to delete "conservative content" while promising to take no legal action in return?

    No proof whatsoever.

    Its absurd that your idea of "conservative content" is hard-core porn, anti-semitism, inciting violence and plotting conspiracies. Why would you want to associate yourself with that?

    The social media is full of actual non-violent conservative content, so no one is deleting content just because its conservative.

    Mainstream media did not make 1000's of people storm the Capitol to terrorize the democratically elected leaders of the US of A.
    You're just giving free speech and a different opinion the label "terrorism".

    While we all know that Parler is a platform that is used to organize it and to boast on it that they did that.
    That's why Parler needs to stop supporting terrorism.
