These companies decided, finally, that hate and violence are bad for business. The free market has spoken.

Your stuff is so ridiculous, I don't think anything needs to be said about it. Even the Repubs see it as absurd.

Ever read the first amendment? The very first word is CONGRESS. Twitter, Google, and Amazon are not part of congress as far as I know.

It wasn't just right wing folks druming up energy for another attack in Washington DC that is the problem and you are ignorant, naive misguided.

The site was unsupervised -- it was disgusting the things left, right and, apolitical that were being posted.

Gab is still going right? Gab chose to be a site that was unregulated/no moderating so they figured out how to do it.

Gab is seeing a HUGE serve in users and they are posting how they are working round the clock to adapt to all of it.

Nobody is stopping GAP.

GAP adopted a business model & business practices to allow for that business model.
Parler wanted to ride the wave of Google, Apple, Amazon but not abide by their conditions.

That' snot censorship.

EDIT -- GAB Is having issues this morning with the surge in folks signing up. Be patient -- they will figure it out.
Twitter only censors those they don’t like...look at the ones allowed still, like Kathy Griffin holding Trumps bloody head she should have been kicked off. Ayatollah is allowed to be on even though he threatens us, and China uses it and look at what they do to their people. It should be done with the same accuracy on all sites not pick and choose

Does that mean they consider everyone else as fair game? According to Exodus 21:22-25, BTW, a fetus is considered property and not a person.

Parler wasn't suppressed.

Companies hosting/providing services decided they didn't want to be associated unless parler came up with and enforced rules on the site. Parler didn't want to do that so the others associated with it decided to limit their liability by having no association.

This is purely a failure on the leadership at parler.

Other than that, you knocked it out of the park....

Did Twitter remove/suspend the official @POTUS account, too? Doesn't look like it to me.

It would seem a billionaire could afford to start his own social media site, or tv station, or newspaper, or website.

You WERE 74 million strong, but that number has been hemorrhaging since the election. Lots of C-D members who were Trump supporters have already renounced their support. He'll be lucky if he's still able to hang on to half of those supporters by the end of his term.
