Now we get the truth of how you live in California.
As I said, I have been there and not seen any kiddie porn or calls for voilence. Only place I hear those accusations is from people and places not on the site....and the nonbias mediaQuote:

Was no control there. I did same as I do on Parler, ignore them because there was no method to block them
No offense to my more liberal friends on here but if you see this banning of Parler as anything other than a silencing of conservative speech, then you really have your head in the sand.
If it was merely conservative talk everyone wouldn’t be banning them.
Ok. Sure.Quote:

Parler has a significant user base of Donald Trump supporters, conservatives, conspiracy theorists, and right-wing extremists. Posts on the service often contain far-right content, antisemitism, and conspiracy theories such as QAnon. Journalists have described Parler as an alternative to Twitter, and users include those banned from mainstream social networks or opposing their moderation policies.

The only solution to this is to hit the Big Tech in the pocketbook. how do we do that. Take away their ad revenue/hits. I am leaving FB. I am leaving Twitter. I am leaving Gmail (I was a beta tester in May of 2004, one month after it started).
It is going to be a PITA to shift all my contacts from gmail. but I am taking what revenue I can from those Tech entities. I would do same to the media entities but I never watch them anyway unless they have a sporting event I want to watch...and I quit NFL and NBA already.
Well, you can at least eat your Goya beans while you do ;)Quote:

I suppose you're just salty because capitalism has worked against you this time.
Parler, Trump and anyone else that has been permanently suspended are free to have their day in court instead of whining about them being silenced. That is the system we have in place.
If I ignore you would you go away?Quote:

They also ignore the liability exclusion cut out for them.
Funny that FB etc...had no issue with Maxine Waters promoting violence. Didn't have any issues with democrats speaking against the election in 2001, 2005 and 2017. Nor did they speak out when liberal stormed the Hart building in 2020 (a federal building) demanding Trumps removal. None of these were removed from social media (nor should they have been). So quit with the double standards because the hypocrisy would be funny were it not just sad
