Just read Apple is dropping Parler from its platform. So long 1st amendment. I guess the 2nd is next here in the USACCP.

Apple to Parler: Moderate violent threats or face ban

Amy Peikoff chief policy officer of Parler indicated Google has dropped them from the Play Store for Android devices on the Tucker Carlson show.

So Parler may be gone in both the Apple and Android platforms

Gab is not an app, it has it own server and website. Seems alot of the Trump folks are migrating there to counter Twitter and Fagbook. Trump, Trump Jr, Flynn, wood. All of them are on Gab. Its all thats left for communication.

Yeah, it may work but on Tucker Carlson's show the Parler rep made it sound like it will be very difficult to financially survive after the Google and Apple cancelations. They were getting ready for something like this but did not expect it to happen immediately.

Oh noes, the war criminals, extortionists, and baby killers had to experience a few moments of fear before their highly trained, tax payer funded security whisked them away in utter safety.


I literally do need them for anything. Not for $1200, $600, or $2,000, not to tell me how to live, act, think, or conduct business.

Gab has its own servers and most of the Trump team is there. Gab got censored back in 2018 from the Apple and Play store. Gab rebuilt with its own website and servers. They are welcoming all Trump's team and supporters as their increase of memberships are going thru the roof.

Been on Gab since 2018, I have a total of 3 GABs all from today. I do like the platform better than parlor.

Twitter and the rest deplatforming these people is not "censorship" nor is it it a "free speech" issue.

It's a freedom of association issue.

Would you also have NYGF be forced to provide a platform for anti-gun folks?

Not directed at you, FRB, just a thought I have everytime these people yell "censorship!!!"

I would have no issue with anti gun folks on here (I wouldn't find it enjoyable and probably be frustrated) but I would think that they wouldn't stick around too long with the back and forth discussion we would have.

Social media giants are used as lines of communication, they are no longer considered blogs or forums. What if we have a nuclear attack tomorrow. An earthquake, Nuclear accident. A president should be able to use all lines of communication. Can they close your email accounts? Can they cut off your telephone lines.

So you'd be in favor of compulsory speech, and violating the owners' of this site's right to freedom of association?

Because ultimately, those are what these arguments are in favor of, not "free speech."

 

[CaseHardened]

Please, the emotional swamp on here is going to get pissed when things are put in black and white without the ability to make inferences and give their opinion about what Trump in fact said. He did incite the violence.

By breathing ?

With all due respect, wise up.

Not following you. All I said was that if someone who was against guns wanted to hang out on this site for some strange reason as much as they would annoy me I wouldn't stop them. I would probably just put them on ignore eventually. Hell, we've had some in the past.

Sorry.

I'm not in the mood; not at all.

My issue; not yours.

If you can maintain a sense of humor, more power to you.

I'd BLOCK them in no time.

I've blocked several here already, and have no desire to listen to them.

Others are coming close; real close (not you).

The argument that Twitter should be forced to keep accounts they do not want to keep is tantamount to requiring that NYGF have a section for anti-gun talk even though its obviously antithetical to the principles of this site.

Freedom of speech also includes the right to not be forced to promote speech one disagrees with.

This forum isn't protected by Sec 230. That is the difference. If Twitter and Facebook give that protection up I wouldn't give two shits what they do.

IMHO there wouldn't be a section for anti gun talk. You asked if I would have a problem with folks that are anti gun being able to communicate on here, not have a special section for them. Should they be able to join and voice their opinion? I believe they should. I would vehemently disagree and most likely ignore them but they should be able to join and communicate amongst us and others like themselves. Again, I believe they wouldn't last very long because they would be outnumbered but if they want to they should be able to. Not saying to make certain changes to suit them. If conservative folks want to discuss amongst themselves on twitter or others they should be able to. I'm fine being on FB along with a world of lefties as long as I can communicate with like minded folks. It seems that conservative folks or sites don't try to shut out others who don't believe what they do yet the left has such a problem with people THEY don't agree with they take away THEIR ability to converse on their platforms.

Agree to a point, but when you get special governmental protections like they do, all bets are off - they are censoring speech, no one can deny that !
