She's stating this like it's a new thing that she just blew the lid off. It's always been about the money. And always will be. Sad but true.

We'll see what happens. This is how things should work though...using our words when we don't get our way. Does the Section 230 need to be changed? Maybe. There are a lot of things that may need to be changed in regards to the internet/social media etc. We shouldn't, though, be making these changes in the heat of anger but with logic and thoughtfulness.

Seems to me that they are all within their right to limit or ban as they see fit under Section 230. I'm sure if this is incorrect then Parler will have no problem winning a lawsuit and forcing AWS to allow them to be carried on their platform.

No one is banned from the internet though. I agree that there is nuance to all of this but there is a simplicity to it too. Parler would have had to agree to Terms of Service in order to be on AWS, Google Play, Apple Store etc. We may or may not agree to the terms of service but they are what they are. Different organizations choose to enforce or not enforce their terms of service all the time. FBG's message board is much more strict on name calling, swearing, trolling,etc. than FFToday. It is what it is. Both choose to run their businesses as they seem fit.

Quite an interesting take from Germany considering they outright ban Nazi symbols and Holocaust denial, etc. Seems a bit hypocritical to make that statement about free speech elsewhere in the world. The free speech aspect of all this is a red herring. No ones free speech is being banned. People can still spew their well thought out and logical theories about how they are the true victims of the radical left and the colossal deep state.

Where's Terry Tate when you need him?

He is my favourite too.
