Parler goes to trial against Amazon today. The judge is a liberal activist, but she ruled against the government in a flag burning case, and this judge said that violated free speech.

The "Twatter" CEO said yesterday:

"That said, having to ban an account has real and significant ramifications. While there are clear and obvious exceptions, I feel a ban is a failure of ours ultimately to promote healthy conversation. And a time for us to reflect on our operations and the environment around us."

Translation: "There are a few billion reasons why we f*cked up."

The CEO stated that? Seems like the obvious step would be for them to reverse their ban. I already deleted my account

Joke from Twitter:

Nazis: It was Antifa!
FBI: We have your cell phone data. It was you.
Nazis: No! Antifa.
FBI: We have your selfies you posted.
Nazis: Antifa.
FBI: We have your video diary of you storming the Capitol.
Nazis: Far left riots.
FBI: Far left wears masks.
Nazis: But...you can't arrest us, we are White!
FBI: Ha Ha Ha....

To curb extremists on their platform? It’s a shame that people are even asking, or that they had to do it in the first place. It should have happened years ago.

Did you see why they shut them down? How can you back up threats of violence? They weren’t doing anything about it.

Something like 75 million ****** up in trying to re-elect twitler, too. We saw yet again, why he shouldn’t be re-elected, why he lost, and you still stand by him.

Extremists? Hardly. Silencing people is a dangerous precedent.

He also said: “Banning an account limits public conversation and the potential for clarification, redemption, and learning. And sets a precedent I feel is dangerous: the power an individual or corporation has over a part of the global public conversation.”

The number 1 'liberal' meme on free speech.
Notice, that's not what democrats...who call themselves 'liberals' say today. Which proves my point that 'liberal' democrats are scarce as hen's teeth.

Classic liberalism is dead.

Progressivism doesn't support free speech because it is an Eurocentric ideology which favors whites.

You can't let Nazis talk bruh

Did he really say that?

If so, he is probably feeling the wrath of stockholders to whom he has to answer for the financial repercussions of this decision.

The US mainstream is not telling people that the leaders of many countries are alarmed at Twitter's decision.

For instance, just to name a few, Germany and France's heads of state have spoken out against it and voiced their conerns. Australia is currently looking at laws to limit the power of big tech media.
