Oddly enough, if Storm Front tried to put an app on the Google Play Store, I don’t think many would be up in arms over it being removed.

Yet when they remove an app used to coordinate the invasion of the capitol building by people with pipe bombs, molotovs, guns, zip ties, bats, etc. it’s suddenly not acceptable? An app that has people openly calling for death to US congressional leaders and the Vice President, and the president elect?

Twitter, Youtube and Facebook were also used to coordinate last years Antifa/BLM riots that caused 25-ish deaths, hudreds or thousands of injuries, uncountable financial damage to government, local businesses, homes yet this was never a problem.

Also cartels and terrorist groups have used these platforms to spread their propaganda for a decade now with barely any censorship.

If you were treated like how they are, you would be calling for violence too.

What treatment in particular do you think justifies calls for violence on the part of Trump supporters?

Being completely robbed of an outlet for your frustrations while people call for you to be murdered on twitter.

Are they actual nazis? No one is robbing anyone of anything. They're completely able to create their own domain and host their facistgarbage.html

Until your domain is revoked, you get kicked off by your host, you get financially censored, etc, etc. When are people going to admit big tech has too much power?

Arthur’s comments are also not acceptable. He should’ve gotten a one day ban at the least.

But two wrongs don’t make a right.

What are they being robbed of? Parler.com is still up and perfectly accessible from a mobile browser. The app should also continue to function for those who already have it.
