Parler CEO Says Parler May Be Offline Longer Than Expected -- Why Didn't We Let The Free Market Decide???

[martybegan]

Feminists beg to differ on the porn not hurting people thing.

And you really didn't answer my whole statement, because you can't you hateful pathetic little man.

This is a really pathetic argument.

No, it just shows your viewpoints are countered by others.

 

[martybegan]

No, it isn't support. Next you will say someone wearing Levi jeans participating in this is forcing Levi to "support" them and thus Levi has the right to demand they take off their pants.

You are an anti-freedom idiot, that's all I need to know.

No, because ownership of the pants has transferred. Levi's does not control their product once it is sold.

AWS is not selling a product, but a service. Parler does not own the hardware. AWS does. That's why AWS can decide they no longer want to use their hardware to support Parler.

You're the anti-freedom idiot since you want to force AWS to do something they don't want to do with their own private property. Everything you've posted in this thread is about forcing private individuals and companies to bend their knee to people whom you support politically. Another step closer to fascism.

Just watch, eventually companies like that will try. It's a mindset, a "my views or else" mindset found mostly on the left.

I want AWS to be for free speech, not to be cucks to the censoring butt hurt nannies of the world like you.

Everything you post is about silencing dissent like the good little Nazi you want to be.

Have you assumed room temperature yet and made my day?

No, it just shows your viewpoints are countered by others.

It’s not a counter. You’re comparing pornography to violent threats on people’s lives. It’s not a legitimate comparison.

Companies won't try because there's not rational basis for them to succeed.

What are you going to do about AWS not doing what you "want"? Cry about it more or do you want government to step in and strip AWS of their rights?

Parler CEO says app will be offline 'longer than expected' because of Amazon, Apple and Google

Parler, a social media app popular with conservatives and supporters of President Donald Trump, has gone offline.

www.cnbc.com

"Parler has gone offline after Amazon withdrew its support in the wake of the deadly U.S. Capitol riot last week. The app was reliant on cloud computing power provided by Amazon Web Services. John Matze, the founder and CEO, said in a statement on Monday that the Parler app will be down “longer than expected” because other cloud hosting companies do not want to work with Parler in light of the press statements issued by Amazon, Google and Apple."

What these big tech companies are doing is outrageous -- it is flat out socialism communism fascism Orwellian government censorship.....Why didn't the radical leftist Democrats who control big Tech just allow the free markets to decide -- instead of having people like Biden and Pelosi decide who Twitter or Facebook can or can't have on their platform - why didn't they just allow the free market to decide?? -- That is the problem when you have big government get involved with what private businesses can or can't do -- you get communism....

This shouldn't be a left or right issue (except that the right should be able to dictate what the left does or can't do) --- this should be a bipartisan issue -- we should allow free markets to have control over social media, not big government -- and the best way to do that is to nationalize Facebook and Twitter and declare them public commodities and let Trump and others he appoints decide who and who can't have access -- we should also break up Google and Amazon because these corporations have been too successful at gaining a near monopoly -- and breaking up monopolies is totally a function of a free market....In fact, we wouldn't have all of these large media, pharma and agricultural corporate conglomerates if we just allowed free markets to decide...Just think how much better something like healthcare would be if we just nationalized it and declared it a public commodity like the free market demands...

Translation:
“We told you so, we degenerate beggars have been telling you for years; let Father Government take the reigns and decide for us.”

You understand that each of those companies made their own decisions, don't you?

So you are ok with every single hosting company denying them the ability to have a website?

Nobody is denying them anything. They are free to go somewhere else, or build their own site. Are you demanding somebody be forced to host them? Will you demand they bake them a cake too?

Sorry, but a wedding cake isn't a nessasary thing like being able to access the most common form of political discourse. The one baker not wanting to bake isn't stopping the wedding.

Cool...so you agree that we should nationalize Facebook and Twitter because they are too big to not be declared public commodities....

Awesome....it is definitely not a pro-free market stance, but fuck free markets when you don't get your way, right?

Nope, just regulate them as utilities and make them be political content neutral in their moderation.

Should the power company be able to deny service to conservatives?

Where does the constitution require anything to be politically neutral?

 

[BULLDOG]

THE FREE MARKET SPOKE!! IT SAID PARLER SUCKS BECAUSE IT'S JUST A BUNCH OF CRAZY CONSPIRACY THEORY NUTS, AND THEY DON'T WANT ANY PART OF IT.

Can they still make phone calls to each other, Herr Bulldog?

I don't know. I suppose they could if they get a grownup to teach them how to dial the phone.

You’re wrong. All the Parler members have the same free speech rights they had last week. Orwell would be unsurprised but no less dismayed by your failure to grasp the core concepts in 1984.

No one has been able to tell me what happened to Reaganbook??


You folks have had 10 years or so of vowing to start your own social media platform because of how mean Facebook was to you....

Reaganbook was supposed to be totally awesome -- it has Reagan in it!!

"Janet Porter, president and founder of conservative group Faith2Action, started ReaganBook. Her posts began as quiet calls to arms for conservative causes, but as the situation spiraled out of control, she became frantic: "MY SINCERE APOLOGIES FOR THE VILE CONTENT. THIS WILL BE REMEDIED IN A MATTER OF MINUTES." But she was right. Shortly after that status was posted, the site was turned to "Offline Mode." The gates were barred."

The swift death of ReaganBook, the Facebook for patriots

The conservative social network was shut down after an attack from liberal trolls

So companies have "rights" only when it suits the lefty SJW colfax cum-dumpster agenda?

Why are you like this?

 

[colfax_m]

I'm pointing out that Amazon only seems to care about being seen as "supporting" something when it's right leaning politics, and only notices violence when its from right leaning sources.

Amazon cares about violent websites that refuse to moderate their users and results in riots and murder.

You say fascist but you clearly don't understand what that means.

So what are you going to do about it? Whine some more? If so, that's cool. You're allowed to be a crybaby. I have no problem with that.

If you instead want to use government authority to force a private company to facilitate Parler's violent partisan rhetoric, then that would actually make you the fascist.

No, that's called "Regulating", something progs only seem to want to do when they want to destroy an industry, not fix it.

You take all these end runs to silence your opponents, all the while ironically defending big business, only because they are doing your dirty work for you.

The free exchange of ideas is nessasary for a free society, and I have to assume you don't want a free society, you want a bunch of progressive lemmings, with any dissent silenced or to scared to feel safe to join in the discussion.
