Not always.

Also, the termination letter against Parler used examples that were 6 hours old. They clearly expected them to find and delete the posts preemptively.

But Twitter, Facebook or Youtube doesn't do that. In fact I can find plenty with a basic search.

Did you read Ibgennie’s? Their account was shut down and they never posted or retweeted ANYTHING.

As we could see with the banning of Trump and many other users, they often work together. Hence, this won't just be Twitter, but all mainstream social media. Conservatives are likely to leave for other platforms such as Gab, Bitchute and Minds and the country will get even more divided than ever.

Part of the Transcript
- We do intend to do the full retro as I said in my note, it is going to take some time
- And then the other thing just to close out a little bit
- We know we are focused on one account (@realDonaldTrump) right now
- But this is going to be much bigger than just one account
- And it's going to go on for much longer than just this day this week. And the next few weeks and go beyond the inaguration.
Does this guy actually think that getting rid of Trump and silencing big name conservatives is going to be good for his stock price? Guy is smoking his own dope.....

Parler is not shutdown.

Amazon, after repeatedly warning Parler about what was going on, terminated their contract with them.

The entity of Parler still exists, they need to find someone else to host them.
