Yeah so whatever happened to Twitter CEO saying under oath that they didn't have a bunch of topic suppressing tools that they did turn out to have after all when they got hacked? It's technically arguable that they were only trying to stop the incitement of violence when they purged 70k people. It's objectively provable that they lied about site tools they were using to manipulate discussion.
Let's be fair here: we know one was shot and one had a history of heart issues and died of a heart attack. The other two's causes of death, at least as far as I've seen, haven't been reported on.
We know they shot one, and that's already one too many. We don't need to politicize the other three before the facts are out.
Or it was something they've wanted to do for a while, and Trump being near the end of his term and thus less likely to drive news-related traffic removed any reservations while the capitol occupation gave them the excuse.
Gonna take this chance to pitch Minds as well. Doesn't require as much personal info to set up an account as parler did and the site owner's personal page is basically nothing but bashing other sites for not being free-speech.
Meanwhile all the articles on the Olympia fight make sure to highlight it was a Trump supporter that pulled the trigger on a "person" while downplaying that the counter-protestors crashed the event and attacked the people protesting Inslee.
I live in blue territory and voted Trump purely to add to his nationwide popular vote count. But also yeah the cheating in places that can actually swing is disgusting and does make on question what the point of voting is if there's no recompense for blatant election theft.
230 protects minds, gab, parler, bitchute, and all the other alt tech sites. The problem isn't 230. The problem is a too loose idea of what 230 protects and no enforcement when social media act like publishers.
The more it goes on and the more the media hypes up the risk and especially the concern that the national guard might flip, the more I worry they're laying the groundwork for a big false flag.
