Anywhere with a strong, independent legal system e.g. EU, Canada, Australia, Japan etc would never tolerate an app like Parler being used to incite an insurrection.

Any countries without one e.g. China, Russia, Saudi Arabia would also not tolerate it as it could equally be used to incite an insurrection.

So very curious where you think this "safe" place is in the world.

Twitter and facebook tolerate the use of their apps to set up autonomous zones within american cities and incite users to riot, loot, commit arson and murder cops so why doesn't parler just use a similar hosting infrastructure to whatever they use?

I’ll pretend this is an argument in good faith and point out the explicit intent in the messages to commit crimes is the point.

Organization of a protest that draws 100,000 where a small number commit crimes is much different than rallying 100,000 with the stated purpose of committing crimes.

Widespread vandalism and looting during BLM protests cost the insurance industry and estimated $2 BILLION. Hardly small potatoes.

Seeing as organising the set up of autonomous states within American cities is allowed on twitter on facebook, the tiny number of Trump supporters who entered the capitol and could just say they wanted to set up an an autonomous state there.

I’m curious what you think the solution would be. Ban the hash tag BLM? Ban anyone who supports BLM protests?

It seems you want Twitter to do more and that’s fair, but the question is what more should they do?

BLM found wide spread support. HN had a George Floyd banner. Should HN be banned from its hosting account?
