this will further isolate the part of population which need to hear alternative viewpoints the most.

tl;dr a bunch of liberal and leftist people joined Parler back in June when it got popular. They did so intentionally to test how "free-speech" supporting it was and if it would allow people to post left-wing content. They got banned.
" And, yes, some people are claiming that Parler's quick trigger finger is mostly about shutting down "left" leaning accounts, but as with Twitter's content moderation, I won't say that for sure unless I see some actual evidence to support it."
And the second seems to be a rehash of the first. Most of the substance seems to be based on twitter claims with no verification?
Do you think random reporters were conspiring and posting nudity to make Parler look ideologically driven when it banned them (there's irony there too, which we'll ignore for now).
The other isn't a journalist at all as far as I can tell?
If leftists are categorically banned (the claim was: "If you wanted to de-escalate on parler, you couldn't. You'd get banned"), then surely there is more than these articles, the second of which is a copy of the first which is a mention of two people tweeting about being banned?
I saw the first article back when it first came out and never saw any substantiation, but I didn't keep following it. Is there any significant evidence that leftists are all banned?
Have you even used Parler?
Among others, DevinNunesCow was banned. Lots of liberals and leftists joined. Lots of them got banned without any reason. Hell, a number of journalists were also banned for...unclear reasons.
That's a bad look for an app that claims to support free speech and claims that the solution to speech one doesn't like is simply to counter it. I have no problems with a platform moderating content. But I do find the hypocrisy amusing.
> Have you even used Parler?
Why would this be relevant to my ability to know who or what the platforms moderation policies were?
