In less important news, Belichick is an actual American Patriot. The guy who sunk the USFL is not.

It turns out one way to get a Presidential Medal of Freedom is to ignore the screams of young men getting raped in the shower.

Everything Trump touches turns to shit. He's like King Midas's idiot brother.

As ProPublica and other investigative news orgs found,  it was done on multiple social media platforms.   So,  both Parler and FB were used.   


So do you have an opinion on how Parler is being treated?

[josh]

Parler required actual IDs and socials? And people joined anyway to post any old thing? The Mercers are as bigly bumblers as the God Damn trumps! This is priceless.

Gonna have to free the nonviolent drug offenders and undocumented to make room for trumpist insurrectionist terrorists caught dead to rights.

The organization of the riot was done on FACEBOOK

Glad to have one of those involved speak so authoritatively about this.

I didnt say Parler wasnt involved

Facebook is complicit and should answer

And Parler treated fairly

What wasn't fair about how Parler was treated?

(CNN)A US Secret Service officer is under investigation after accusing lawmakers of treason and sharing conspiracy theories about the election on social media, according to The Washington Post who obtained images of the comments.

News of the investigation comes as law enforcement agencies broaden their investigations into what role their own officers played in the deadly insurrection at the US Capitol as they look through social media posts.

In one image, the newspaper reported Monday night, the secret service officer posted a meme on Facebook titled "Here's to the Peaceful Transition of Power" with President Donald Trump shaking hands with himself in the Oval Office. A day after the siege on the US Capitol, a comment was posted using the officer's name that criticized attempts to remove Trump from office and accused lawmakers who accepted the electoral college vote of "committing treason on live tv."

"Good morning patriots! Yesterday started out beautiful and as usual Antifa soured the mood and attacked police and an Air Force veteran was murdered....It's OFFENSE time finally!!," the comment read, according to the newspaper.

Reviewing the events of the past year alone can anyone speculate as to what depths Trump and his supporters wouldn't descend?

Yes.   Fairly.   Until they stop being a cesspool of hate and sedition.   No private company has any obligation to provide a venue,  any more than AMC Theaters is obliged to station random people in viewing rooms who scream "fire! " or "kill some Jews before they replace us! "

I think hosting platforms and App Store have a First Amendment right to determine who gets to use their services and to refuse to do business with anyone they want, provided that reason is not illegal. Why do you hate the First Amendment so much?

because like most of the GOPers who wave their pocket sized Constitutions around they've never read it.

Just googled how many companies provide web hosting....

  Worldwide, there are over 330,000 web hosting providers. GoDaddy holds nearly 20% of the market, followed by Amazon AWS, 1&1, and Hostgator. WordPress is the weapon of choice for most users, with 34% of all websites built on that platform.Nov 12, 2020 

So,  this begs the question:  in what way are your First Amendment rights abridged,  if one of those providers shuts you down for a TOS violation?   

In these times,  what would it actually take to shut someone up?   A solar flare that melted all electronic circuitry on the planet?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/01/12/manatee-trump-florida/

   The manatee lay still, floating in the shallow waters of a Florida river over the weekend when a woman on a boat noticed something odd. As she moved closer and filmed with her phone, Hailey Warrington found a one-word message scrawled on the marine mammal’s back: “TRUMP.”

“This is just disturbing. One hundred percent disturbing,” Warrington, who discovered the defaced manatee in the Homosassa River, told the Sarasota Herald-Tribune.

Now federal and local authorities are investigating who is responsible for etching the president’s name on the threatened animal’s back. Harassment of a manatee is a criminal offense punishable by a $50,000 fine and up to a year in prison....

Based on what?  What's your source?
Only Facebook?
WTF you talking about?

Otherwise, I have a friend who is convinced that Parler is an FBI honeypot.

Your friend may have been right. What we have now though is an open source La Brea tar pit where we can all view the bones of the nasty animals who got caught up and are now indelibly captured in the tar. School trips will be arranged so future students can visit their bones when it’s time to study evolutionary dead ends.

Parler is being treated as evidence in a huge multitude of Federal, State, and Local criminal investigations, along with copious private and academic sleuthing. Every post, every comment, and their entire user database including official IDs is being used to make America great again by making sure that each individual in the nation’s most deranged contingent can never escape or erase the stain and the consequences of their words and actions during the shit show of the coward’s misadministration.

Parler is finally being treated the way it has always deserved to be treated since it’s founding and inception.

The users and owners will get much much more TLC once the content is fully analyzed and linked to meat space behaviors.

Not that an ISP turning your service off has anything to do with the 1st Amendment, regardless!

To the best of my knowledge, Amazon is not (yet) a governmental body.
