Many posts / posters in this topic are reactionary when coming into contact with the startling notion that Republicans oppose the content moderation coming from "Big Tech", which happens to be targeting Republicans. :bigthink: It's almost like the partisan nature of THIS ENTIRE NATION is resulting in partisan content moderation.
Heaven forbid I call water... wet?
Let's start at the top....
I mean, Democrats aren't chasing a "filter content to our liking". That's pushing a conspiracy theory. FB and TW finally decided (not FB as much) that enforcing their ToS is more important than ad revenue.
You are simply wrong. Those are Democrat policies. As Republicans are fleeing in droves to less filtered services. For freedom, or madness. Depending on how you classify their alt-reality. For example:

When Democrats silence Republicans, Republicans will endeavor to not be silenced. Parler and Republican based media offer them that. You have struck at something more central and more important to them than Fox News.
Man's gotta turn everything into "Us vs. them". A good example of the pathetic mindset driving most of the extremists.
Honest question, have you looked outside? Have you... seen America lately?
Republicans are forming a new religion. Core tenets of it include an alt-reality with its own set of facts and truthiness. When you try to content filter the truth, you are content filtering Republicans.
This is inherently a Republican VS Democrat topic. Stop trying to pretend it isn't. Parler exists because Democrats are filtering Republicans and Republicans are getting tired of it. Then Parler is boycotted because Republicans do something stupid / dangerous to our Republic. That escalation with a pursuit and chase down to silence their alt-media is ongoing.
I expect, for the notion of everyone's safety (and judicial claims of illegal content) that Parler will continue to be pursued as far as Democrats can pursue it.
I'm sorry, are you going to claim that Republicans are on board with that? Trying to shut down their own media? To silence their own voters? To stop their own religion? That this isn't partisan? Hahahaha... you want me to believe that crap? Why? Why would you guys cling to that delusion except for your own Ego? I like to think that a Liberal would pursue the truth no matter how painful it may seem to you. Granted, we are still only human. Apparently a wake up call is needed.
A recent news article may allow me to demonstrate a truth of mine that, I am guessing you wouldn't believe if I told you. Especially given the fact that I've already posted of it a few times before.
See... the Republicans I know want Trump to perform a military coup. Because Democrats stole the election. It just so happens, MyPillow Guy, Mike Lindell was at the White House holding a piece of paper. Detailing portions of that coup as described to me by my local Republicans days earlier. This isn't a few people. This is the Republican Party. Not every last one of them, but people like Romney have no place among the faithful and will be driven out. Those that remain want our blood.
And that is no exaggeration.
