There have been tons of instances of mob killings incited on Facebook in other countries.

Seems like Facebook should play a bigger role in preventing that than it does.

Or uh, ahem, y'know, Twitter.

How quickly we forget the Arab Spring.

Yeah, and 4Chan has about half a dozen mass killings to their name.

I think the argument being made here is that Parler doesn't care as much as Facebook about bad things happening.

Probably many. Especially in countries where organized lynching is still a thing.

You can certainly find reports of people proudly sharing the videos of doing the lynching on social media. So I don't see why it wouldn't be organized via social media too.

Violent attacks on seats of government do tend to get attention and extra sanctions, I think we can admit that.
