That's not what it is about. Twitter and FB never screen their domestic terror groups before they burned down homes and businesses, and nobody ever holds those companies responsible.

I see these as two completely different things. And I do believe in the free market. That doesn't make me understand why the left wants to use the free market to shut down speech. Why not just answer that speech with your own speech? Why try to keep other people from hearing it?
The right has tried to go to companies to change the way they do business too. JC penneys was attacked over hiring Ellen. Nabisco was attacked over their stance on LGBT issues. Yeti was attacked over stopping their promotion campaign. One of the airlines was attacked over stopping discounts to the NRA. Nike was attacked over some person they had in ads. The NFL was attacked over allowing players to kneel.

Should I go on?

Twitter only Moderates Conservatives. They allow The Libs to spout trash. I've seen Threats from Libs toward The President. Nasty Pics, beheadings of Trump from Celebs. They weren't taken down, they weren't deleted. That's ok, right Liberals???

So, if you're going to Silence one Side, you do both.

So **** about it. Twitter is LIBERALS. IT'S AN ECHO CHAMBER..

As for Parler, it had both Libs and Conservatives. Apple just didn't like the "FREE SPEECH"... I never liked Parler. Crappy set up, not user friendly and slow as molasses.

They can't touch Gab. They have their OWN PRIVATE SERVERS. Whereas, Parler didn't.

How come conservatives never build their own hosting platforms? Not smart enough?

Parler is now taking legal action.

Yet another anti-trust case, these social media companies must employ thousands of lawyers.

The EU is currently making good money from Google with nearly $10 Billion in fines so far, and the prospect of breaking the company up in the EU if it receives more in the next five years.

LOL. We love our free market capitalism! Until we don't....

It will go nowhere, but they'll probably make some cash fleecing the rubes to support this non starter.

That's going nowhere. Amazon is not required to provide web hosting services to any and all comers.

Oh how conservative of them...

Private business doesn’t want to do business with them so they want the government to make them...

Why do they want Fox News taken off the air. Why do they want every conservative pundit to lose their pulpit?

Help me to understand that mindset, because as much as I try, I just dont get it.
Regards to apple, google, and Amazon cutting ties with parler along with everyone else it seems providing services?

Well... that’s simple... limiting liability. They perceive parlar as is to eventually lead to legal issues.

When I come across a private business and I don't like their product, service, management style, whatever - I don't patronize the business.

Why would you even go on Twitter if it's so "evil"?
