People get their news and information from App's and websites now a days unlike the good old days. This will basically eliminate Parlor from being used. I would imagine most of the Tech guys are anti hunting, maybe Monster Muleys will be next and we'll see how you like that.Well, it is their business, not a public utility. I just don’t see how a website is taking away your freedom? At one time this country existed without the internet. You have the same freedom now as you did before Google existed. No???

These are really not related items.A few days ago you were whining about the possibility of losing your Section 230 protection.
And driving division helps nobodythe simple are blind........
That isn't necessarily true. If Google censored content (like removing Parler) then it would meant they are publisher and could be held liable for the content published.These are really not related items.
Freedom allowed Google App Store to remove Parler.
Canceling Section 230 would've effectively forced Google to remove Parler because they could've been held liable for the content posted on anything they manage or host.
That's what I never could understand about people clamoring to destroy Section 230. It works both ways.
Grizzly, thats a bit of cherry picking. There is a lot of awful stuff by democrat representatives regarding Trump and Trump supportors. I agree it doesn't make it right..Serious question...
How would everybody have a company respond to the content that has been posted recently. Such as calling for the "execution" of certain public figures while calling them out by name? Or those saying that on January 20th, there will be "no mercy" and that they want a "war" in DC?
These are real posts on Parler in the last 48 hours, would you have them moderated at all or left to stand? What if they're not moderated, which is a requirement to use Google App Store?
Then what would you have a company do when their Rules Of Use are not followed? Should they not be able to enforce their own rules in their own businesses?
I'm just wondering to what level you think a company should not be able to control speech on their property.
I agree there if someone is threatening violence, then that may be a a different story. I myself am conservative and have a few fairly liberal friends. And somehow we aren’t about to kill each other. They know I have my beliefs and I’ll defend them, and they have theirs. I may disagree, but that Is what I think living in the United States is supposed to be about.Serious question...

I can agree with that, I think the biggest issue we have is most live in an echo chamber. This has caused people to not understand how to be civil and have a difference of opinion and that it is ok to have that difference.@LivingTheDream, I agree with a lot of what you're saying, but I'd add one thing.
I believe people in America today already have very different realities of what's happening. And I'd say at least some of that is due to the very thing we're talking about here.
The best thing I can come up with is to keep government out if it and let the free market figure it out.
Sounds like you are lumping everyone into one small faction.... What about what happened all over the US all summer?After what happened the other day at the capital all real Americans fully understand what a president who lies like a rug and puts himself above all else can do with a media source that allows him to use their service against democracy. unless the truth regains some value to the 45% of this nation that just got dog walked then we need to limit their access to the lies.
+1000I can agree with that, I think the biggest issue we have is most live in an echo chamber. This has caused people to not understand how to be civil and have a difference of opinion and that it is ok to have that difference.
