    Whoever owns this platform can make such request and there would be nothing wrong with it.

    So you want to have a rule in the forum that if anyone paid here, must not stick on forum rules in all consequences if he won't ... because having bought some sort of "Wild Card"??? Are you serious?

    It would restrict the use of sock puppet account if people had to pay for each alias they use.

    Spinning? LOL. I am merely offering an uniformed opinion. I am no cybersecurity expert. I doubt any here is. Chill dude.

    It is better to put them in the dungeon than let them roam freely in the streets. Again, IMO.

    You think 75M people are plotting to overthrow the USA gov't?
    tRUMPs approval fell to about 30% since last Wednesday. There are not 75M nut cases plotting against the USA.

    These are the comparisons of Alexei Navalny who has seen all of these first hand. The government is complicit in the suppression of free speech which is exactly the same as Red China.

    Next we can go after the entire Republican party, conservative online forums and the
    like. It doesn't matter if they don't promote violence (BLM violence is still ok) - they
    potentially could be violent, or reactionary, or racist, or sexist, or homophobic. And
    let's not call it 'censorship.'

    Parler’s platform is based on the individual users being first line moderators. If they see something they question it is reported. That’s the way it should be.

    You really are a broken record aren't you?

    The government didn't stop hosting Parler, a private company did.

    What is so complicated about it?

    You demand we become like China and start dictating private companies how to run their businesses.

    There is no freedom in what you are demanding. You are demanding for the opposite of freedom.

    Freedom is allowing private companies define their own policies and choose their own customers, but you are asking for the opposite.

    Why don't you demand the government make it possible for everyone to live in anyone else's house. I'll just move into your living room. In a way you are already asking for it.

    ANYBODY should have the 'right' to be on-line so long as they are not consistently
    advocating violence. Taking people off because you don't like their views (think of
    the anti-vacc people) is problematic - damned if you do, damned if you don't.

    It really would be within the rights of those who set this site up to do so. I would be for it just to have a record of those who are trying to influence elections with falsehoods and slander. This site is not free from some who would take great pleasure to undermine our country.

    Ashli Babbitt had a sign on the entry door to her business in San Diego that said No Masks Allowed ...

    Freedom of speech. Freedom of all individuals to view anything they want to view. Big Tech is working in collusion with government regulations to deny selectively those freedoms as I have explained in this thread. This is exactly what is done in Red China and Russia.

    Yes, wealth, health, education - it's made us mentally vacuous.
    It seems we have to learn all over again what pandemics are
    about - and poverty too, for that matter.

    Thanks for proving you have no clue what freedom of speech means.
