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

[colfax_m]

No, they care about sucking up to leftist freedom hating assholes like you.

Yet you don't seem to care about Amazon's freedom to tell Parler to get lost.

Freedom for me but not for thee.

Freedom for me but not for thee.

That isn't freedom, Amazon isn't supporting anything by hosting their sites on their servers, it's just an excuse to satisfy censorship junkies like you.

It's just hypocrisy. They claim to care about freedom, but when the results don't suit them they start with the foot-shuffling and excuse-making.

And liberals, who suddenly find themselves arguing for the rights of business, are just as hypocritical. They sing a different tune when a baker doesn't want to accommodate gay weddings.

 

[colfax_m]

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.

Oh, it's not fascism, it's regulation. Just like fascists regulated where people live and what they can do.

You want to eliminate freedoms for Amazon for the good of the country.

Jesus, you really don't hear yourself, do you?

You idiots can dissent all you want, but you can't force other people to help you do it.

 

[colfax_m]

That isn't freedom, Amazon isn't supporting anything by hosting their sites on their servers, it's just an excuse to satisfy censorship junkies like you.

Amazon isn't supporting them except for the fact that you admit they are literally supporting their website by hosting it on their servers.

Go ahead and march your goon squad down to Amazon and threaten them and force them use their property in a way they don't want to and tell me which one of us is the fascist.

Ever hear of zoning regulations? I can't live in an industrial zoned area legally. is that fascism?

I want to hold amazon to the standard of a utility as a carrier or provider of internet services, only when providing certain services required for access to the internet. The FCC already has their foot in the door regarding this, I am not creating new law by asking for it.

You want our dissent in the closet, and your position supported by modern technology.

"You can be free, but only 15th century free"

They are hosting information, not supporting it or condoning it. I'm sure somewhere on their server is a website calling for the overthrow of the US government and the installation of Communism, do they support communism now because of it?

No goon squad, FCC regulation.

 

[colfax_m]

I’m talking about literally supporting. Not condoning. Obviously Amazon doesn’t condone everything on their servers but they do support it. The literal definition of support means to facilitate and enable to function. Not like a “support the troops” but more like a “technical support”. This would have been plainly obvious days ago if your brain wasn’t so poisoned.

 

[BULLDOG]

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.

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.

I'm sure you feel that way, but you are a Trumpster, and as such refuse to acknowledge the damage his and his supporters lies have wrought on our country.

 

[theHawk]

Facebook - Amazon - Google - Apple - Twitter (FAGAT) are shooting themselves in the foot. Companies and individuals that want hosting for example, won’t use them if they plan on regulating/censoring their content.

Parler will also be able to sue for breach of contract, and they can easily prove that these oligarchs are abusing their power to kill competitors.

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?

So you are saying yes to companies like the power company denying power to conservatives?

Power companies are utilities, and are required to meet certain guidelines that Amazon is not required to meet. In return, they are guaranteed a profit.

The lack of self awareness you Trumpers have is amazing......

You guys literally called Fox News traitors because they had the audacity to tell you the truth about Trump losing the election.....
