"
“On January 29, 2021, the Parler board controlled by Rebekah Mercer decided to immediately terminate my position as CEO of Parler. I did not participate in this decision,” Matze said in a memo sent to Parler staff.

“Over the past few months, I’ve met constant resistance to my product vision, my strong belief in free speech and my view of how the Parler site should be managed.”

Once a Mercer... If Parler were to regulate it self without infusion of GQP shit from outside it would probably eventually level off. Cant have that.

"Hey guys, maybe we should ban people who are listed as terrorists?"

Matze hoped to bring Parler back online quickly, he said, and to have it restored to both the Google and Apple mobile app stores. To that end, he proposed expanding automated content moderation on the platform as well as a full ban on people and groups tied to designated domestic terror organizations, adding, "there are a lot of neo-Nazi groups that would fall under that category."

Conservative talk-show and online personality Dan Bongino, who has invested in Parler and who is on the board, dismissed Matze's claims.

"John decided to make this public, not us," Bongino said in his online talk show. He added, "We could have been up in a week if we just would have bent the knee" to Amazon, Apple, and Google. He and the rest of the board, however, apparently have no interest in meeting tech platforms' terms. "The vision of the company as a free speech site and a stable product, immune and hardened to cancel culture, was ours."

The Mercer family can't die out fast enough. A pox on our country that lot is.

Free speech should only apply to Liberals. We know. But that isn't fascism. Its anti fascism.

So are you saying you believe I should be able to put signs in your yard that say whatever I want, otherwise I don't have free speech?

Wait, you are a liberal? Cuz you seem to be able to express your opinion.

Also, the Mercers fired him, so the Mercers must be liberals.

Since your side is incapable of thinking things through I'll make this easy for you. Google, Apple and Amazon make money for their investors. That would be impossible if the US was in the middle of a civil war because of the terrorists making plans on the app they were distributing and the servers hosting those apps. Since you terrorists conservatives believe in capitalism so much I shouldn't have to explain this to you. Or are you all being hypocrites once again?

Welcome to free-market capitalism, shitbag traitor.

How to solve the concern of idiots (like those who really do belong on ignore lists) concern about "Free Speech"
Just tell them everything on Parlor was "indecent."

I'm sure there are those who remember how for most of modern history Conservatives LOVED banning anything they considered indecent, like female nipples or language supportive of gays.

Parlor hosted tons of indecent material and private industry decided that they didn't want to be involved with such filth.

It's the usual mantle of far right victimhood. They can still spread lies & insurrection in a thousand ways, but nobody is obligated to help them.
