Technically the political will of a corporation is no more or less than the sum of its bank account.

To this point maybe no more or less than the sum of its Named Officers' political wills.


Parler was never a good faith actor. They are profiteers looking to corral a conservative audience. They were more than happen to moderate descriptions of areola, but not violence.

We do have a big tech problem. Amazon, Facebook, Alphabet, and Apple should be broken up. Twitter should be required to improve moderation and bot removal. Public/Private enterprises should be established to provide alternates to Twitter/Parler.


"The Montgomery City Lines is sorry if anyone expects us to be exempt from any state or city law ... [w]e are sorry that the colored people blame us for any state or city ordinance which we didn't have passed."

They were free to not do business with the city of Montgomery, if I’m following the logic of some of today’s discussion correctly.


By their own admission Parler does not have the moderation tools that Twitter have. The fact the content ever existed isn't what is at dispute.


FiOS doesn't have to service you


Let's check the terms they agreed to when we, the people, gave them a monopoly on fiber service running through extremely space-constrained boxes under our streets.


John Oliver was only hired on the daily show in July 2006. 2006 was a year full of evidence and disclosures of voting machine security issues. Do you have a bias?

Is his date of hire relevant to this conversation?

> Do you have a bias?

Not only do I have bias, but I suspect I also suffer from shortcomings in knowledge as well as precision in my thinking.

Do you suffer at all from these three things, or anything else that I may have overlooked? If no, how did you obtain that knowledge?


Yeah! They should suspended the CEO of ANTIFA from FB, Twitter, Parler, WhatsApp, Telegram, and the Dominos app!


The ANTIFA CEO is sitting in his fortified command center underneath the Appalachian Mountains as we speak, cackling and torturing a Trump supporter to death for not calling xir by the proper pronouns. Our joke of a liberal government is doing nothing to eliminate this dangerous threat to our guns and precious, precious strip malls.


Facebook was never for the 'People' they never had a chance at 'winning'


It wasn't a close election.

There was a legitimate process.

This is sour grapes, mashed into violence.
