What happens when you unperson 10s of millions of angry, increasingly poor and possibly deranged people who can no longer vent their frustrations on the social media?

All you had to do was cut those $2000 checks, McConnell!

Can Congress not amend Section 230 to put requirements on social media under the assumption that they are a public utility?

You want freedom from liability, then you must do A, B, and C for the public good.

Seems like there is a spectrum between [No liability. No rules] <--------> [Sue the fuck out of Facebook for everything!]

"Parler CEO says it took down post from Lin Wood calling for Mike Pence's execution"

Ah, so it seems even parler isn't above censorship

Clinton aide seems happy with these developments.

Yup that was the one big difference this week

Some people did some things.

Apparently absolutely all of Parler’s data...including location data and deleted posts...was hacked and archived.

nothing like a good ol' domestic terrorist scrapbook.

man i can only hope parler was a FBI sting
