I guess we need to agree on what a "good faith effort" is and how evenly the standards are applied which is the center of the problem.
I heard an interview with the CEO of Parler and he offered to use AWS A.I. tech and AWS said that was not good enough. So if that is true, it does not matter how well they were doing in moderation it seems like the decision was already made to give them the boot.
The rules need to be applied evenly across all posts/tweets/parlez or whatever they call them. When it is not, we get issues like this. Who knows, maybe this was done on purpose to push more censorship or government control.
Amazingly Facebook and Twitter never have any data leakage or an "audience of garbage-spewers". How come data center have not kicked them off? There have been plenty of examples of garbage-spewing on those platforms to warrant a shutdown.
I agree. We can just say Russian collusion repeatedly and eventually people will remember only that and it will become fact. This is a technique used most prominently by media or those who pretend to be a reporter to push some agenda that they believe regardless of the facts. Just like the writer of the article here. I am sure he "fact checked" all his claims and not just used "sources close" to Parler or just don't even mention facts and go with the hearsay. We have become lazy. Reporters have become lazy, the readers because to many words to read and I just cannot be bothered. We just read the headlines along with the first sentence and form opinions - Just like mister JoeDetroit.
What some people need to be asking is not "why are people who think like me getting disproportionately banned?", but rather "why do I align politically with so many toxic assholes?".
This is why I do not belong to either party. Time for third parties to start getting their name in the game. Besides, why is Facebook and Twitter allowed when there is quite alot of hate spewing from all stripes of people on those platforms. Why are those platforms exempt? Seems to me, it was a move to get rid of a potential competitor.
Also, doesn't the Government have AWS as one of their providers? Seems like some money can flow from there if someone does the "right" thing.
