Seriously wtf.. Trump is the first president to use social media as a replacement for actually talking to the press and nation at large.
Twitter and facebook should have banned him for disinformation back during the birther bs. They don't care what he says, they only care about the bottom line and now that his coup failed they're free to dump him.
Silence the President? Seriously...He has a pressroom and can appear on tv whenever he feels like it. Trump won't because he doesn't want to take questions.
Good lord, facebook and twitter are not primary means of communication with the country or the world.
You want them to have less power...stop using them!
If they only way you have to communicate with people is facebook or twitter.. then we have much bigger problems.
From the legal document Amazon filed in it's lawsuit
"#JackDorsey...you will die a bloddy death alongside Mark Suckerturd [Zuckerberg]....It has been decided and plans are being put in place. Remember the photographs inside your home while you slept? Yes, that close. You will die a sudden death!"
Is that enough proof? Can we stop whining about censorship now? This kind of thing is clearly illegal.

"In its response, Amazon alleged that Parler violated its contract by refusing to remove more than 100 examples of violent content, including death threats against prominent Democrats, Republicans tech executives "
Posting death threats and calls for violence are illegal and not protected free speech per the law... so we're all good here right?
Amazon warned them to start removing content that contained death threats and calls for violence. They did not do so. They got removed because of that.
What it if someone made a chat app where people sold crack or traded child porn, and when warned to remove that content, they ignore the warning. Should Amazon continue hosting it in the name of free speech? Would they not also be liable in a lawsuit for knowing about said illegal content and not removing?
What deal are you talking about? And what would Amazon warn twitter about?
It's not even the fascism that was the problem
It was the active calls for violence and death threats that were actively being ignored and left up despite being notified of these posts. Those are actual crimes and if you ignore criminal behavior like that you should be slapped down hard.
I'm generally against this kind of action. However this situation was a bit unique in that illegal activity was happening and nothing was being done to remove or stop it by the owners.
You can host a forum for free exchange of ideas...but if members start selling crack on it and you don't remove them and/or the content when informed of it, you deserve to be de-platformed. It's really that simple.
There's a balance to be maintained between ease of surveillance and ease of recruitment. They reached to the point where they were a greater danger to spreading violence to a greater number of people than the surveillance information was worth it. It's not like these supremacists groups weren't already under surveillance by other means anyway. They were just being ignored by the DOJ for the last 4 years for some reason.

They were warned...I'm sure you won't believe it though.
The officer who was pulled into the Trumpist terrorist crowd and beaten to death was Brian Sicknick.
Your own link says, he walked back to the precinct on his own. Certainly not "beaten to death" — you've been caught pushing a
His link states " He returned to his division office and collapsed. He was taken to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries. " Just because you don't immediately die from a gun shot wound doesn't mean the gun shoot wound didn't cause your death.
The woman was shot while attempting climb through the smashed out window, after being warned not to, with the officer and gun clearly visible and pointed at the window. She decided to ignore the order and attempted to climb through anyway and was shot because of that. You can't dispute this, the video is everywhere clearly documenting this. Stop spreading disinformation.
Trolls....
One troll could bring your site down and make you face potential lawsuits with ease.
