    The analogy is not applicable. The "Gay wedding cake" involved one human being reuesting another to perform an action they didn't agree with. That is not the same with Parler.

    IT may be equivalent if the person running the cake store refused to provide service to gay people, but in this case, as I understand it, the objection was the creation of a specific cake.

    No one at Amazon was asked to do something they don't want to do.

    If the Parler app is not in the Apple, Google and Amazon app stores that effectively bans the app on all devices.

    They could have. The interesting thing about that story is how a minor refusal was blown up to be a major human rights violation, when it was, at worst, a very minor inconvienience.

    If I bake cakes at home at request, I can deny whoever the damn well I please, for whatever reason I please, no problem there, and no one has a right to critisize their refusal, even if it is refused just due to racial discrimination.

    But if I want to operate a business, and partake in the legal and financial structures which make that possible and support me (ie, allow me to employ people, get certain tax benefits/deductions), then it must also come with the expectation that my business will serve the public within normal parameters.

    Who is "they"? When people say "Twitter does this" or "Amazon does that". Who is "they" exactly? Because there are many, many people who work at Amazon, and most didn't have a say in this decision. It was the decision of a few human beings.

    This is why I really dislike Libertarians. For years and years they argued free market, and squealed like stuck pigs the moment their ideology was used against them.

    I find almost all Free Marketeers are just self-serving ideologies, who push their economic ideals ONLY becaues they imagine themselves to be on the winning side. Notice how every Free Market Libertarian, when they hypothesise about an employer/employee interaction, ALWAYS assume they are acting as the employer? That the "Free Market" would lean Right? They just want to be on the right side of Capitalism when they win, then they realised that they could perhaps be on the other side when "The Market" decided to take action.

    I really, really oppose what Big Tech is doing, but I must admit there is a tiny silver lining, in seeing all these Right Libertarians get burned by their own ideas.

    I guess that's what happens when you host content full of hate speech, and that people use to plan attacks upon government officials/buildings.

    Fortunately, some enterprising individuals discovered that all of Parler's data was publicly accessable before it was shut down, and they managed to archive a lot of it. one person created an interactive map of the Capitol attacks with links to videos that were uploaded to Parler: https://thepatr10t.github.io/yall-Qaeda/

    It looks like the rumors of Parler being transfered to Epik are not confirmed.

    In any case, as far as I am aware, Parler was actually enforcing anti-violence rules - some people got posts deleted and such - which leads to me believe Parler was taken down for different (political) reasons.

    Member of the Libertarian party here.

    Official line is that the baker is free to be a jerk and the gays are free to go buy their cakes elsewhere and warn people that
    the baker does not bake gay cakes.

    What I dislike about the gay cake crisis is that it was a non-problem that was blown out of proportion for political reasons,
    and was also a deliberate political provocation - as far as I have heard, the gay cake case was rejected in court due to a
    mistake in form, so guess what, the trans crowd went to the backery and asked for a transexual cake just as the case was
    dismissed, in order to be able to sue again.

    IMO Twitter and Facebook and friends are a similar case. They are free to set the ToS they want and users are free to leave if
    those ToS are used to supress political opinions in an undue manner. In fact, what I find worrysome is that Internet users
    haven't the will or desire to do just that and put a bit of a fight (just like gays put a fight).

    Amazon kicking Parler is a different case because it can be arguing there is a breach of contract there, which if true, makes
    Amazon an indenfensible team of suckers.

    The issue here, which may have no legal grounds but is an issue, is that
    there are a whole lot of people who think that these social media platforms
    are sources of real news. Some of those (maybe many!) believe everything
    they see posted there and never watch/read any news from anywhere else.

    So, if people are only getting their "news" from FB, the only info they
    will wind up getting is going to be very slanted in only one direction
    (left).

    I think they realize that and are enjoying that monopoly.

    So anyone who can be called a racist, should be denied the ability to speak? I am uncomfortable with this. Simply pointing out in Australia that perhaps the immigration rate was set to high, *DOES* lead you to being called a Xenophobe and Racist. So there should be no discussion about this? The government and vested interest groups who want to screw us over get to spout their nonsense with no opposition?

    This is the problem when you start to put in exceptions to free speech. Where do you draw the line? WHO draws the line? Someone will call me a racist simply for following, or quoting, someone who might disagree with a Leftist opinion on opening the borders to all and sundry.

    There is only grounds to take people out of public discourse if they are actually asking for illegal acts to be done (and speaking itself should not be an illegal act). So sure, deplatform someone who is organising a coup, or asking for someone to be killed, or committing fraud. But if they are just expressing an idea, no.

    Leftists ban ideas because they say they can lead to violent acts. But even Jesus's message of mercy led to violence. Arguments against greed led to violence. Arguments against slavery led to violence. That rationale doesn't hold.

    In any case, as far as I am aware, Parler was actually enforcing anti-violence rules - some people got posts deleted and such - which leads to me believe Parler was taken down for different (political) reasons.

    There's a wonderful archive of posts that were on Parler, pulled directly from their API just before AWS cut them off. Discussions about attacks are there. as well as hate speech (something not protected by the first amendment), and other things that violate AWS's Terms of Service, as well as Apple and Google's.

    Libertarians were definitely up in arms over it, demanding "religious
    freedom" nd insisting "the free market" will take care of the issue.

    I am not so sure about that. Libertarians are also usually all about freedom of sexual orientation, as in it is not the government's business to be in the bedroom.

    most of the Libertarians I've run across are really hard-right conservatives that claim they're Libertarian until someone else does something they don't like, and they have to run to the Government to solve the issue for them.

    Maybe.

    But given Parler's track record with spam, bot management and such, bad content is
    probably there due to their lack of ability to contain it instead of their lack of
    policy to remove it. It is pretty clear than when some highly popular profile there
    posted something nasty they crushed the post with a banhammer and that is fact.

    We really need to make clear what is a platform, and what is a publisher here. ISP's in Australia will use another companies infrastructure. Imagine if that company which onsold the use of their cables to an ISP, had terms of service which stated the ISP cannot transmit hate speech. That wouldn't be reasonable, as the ISP can not, and should not, monitor e-mails for people who might be emailing a friend about how they are against amnesty for illegals.

    It is a stretch to blame Parler itself for the content, anymore than you can blame AT&T for the content of a phone conversation.

    I don't know about the USA (I suspect its not that different), but in Australia police were making criminals out of old ladies that were just sitting on a park bench, assaulting people without masks. The problem with the police, is that they WILL enforce bad laws. They WILL ruin your life, just because some idiotic politician has decided what you do should be illegal. In the UK, they police "Thought Crimes" and will come after you just because someone in government hasn't like that you've said what you've said.

    Are people who make criminals out of those who didn't do harm, who slavishly uphold (with force, DEADLY FORCE if need be!) laws which work against the people, good people? Oh, people says "its their job", but that doesn't wash. It's not an excuse. If my company asked me to do something ethically reprehensible, I would be complicit if I agreed. Same with Police.

    So no, I have come around to the Libertarian side on this. People that uphold bad laws are bad people. Police do it without question.

    No one is being denied the right to speak. They're simply being banned from a really big BBS because the Sysop doesn't want to be associated with what they're saying.

    No one had their mouth duct tape shut in Nazi Germany either. In the Soviet Union, in later years they used similar tactics. People who spoke out might be moved to a lesser job, or denied certain privileges.

    If someone is carrying out some form of retribution against someone else, it is oppression. Getting fired from your job is like sending someone to prison, it is an attempt at a deterrent and punishment.

    By the way, people DO go to prison for what they say. Look at the UK, where you can land in court.

    both have the right to prevent people from using their platform.

    I don't agree they have that right. Twitter and Facebook have chosen to act as a public square, and as such, that puts obligations on them to respect human rights and freedom. You cannot make your service public, reap the benefits of doing so, and simulataneously act as if people are on your private property.


    If Twitter and Facebook don't want people speaking freely, they should redefine themselves as publishers of user content, and not as a place for people to connect with friends and family.


    This is the problem when you start to put in exceptions to free speech. Where do you draw the line? WHO draws the line? Someone will call me a racist simply for following, or quoting, someone who might disagree with a Leftist opinion on opening the borders to all and sundry.

    Facebook and Twitter are not government platforms. No one is being
    locked up for saying what they're saying. People are capable of going elsewhere to spout their shitty opinions.

    Except for them COLLUDING to destroy alternatives like Parler.

    And again, people are having their livelihoods ruined. That is as bad as being locked up (in fact, could be WORSE).

    How anyone can excuse "Cancel culturE" is beyond me. It seems the right of a fair trial, of being judged by someone objective, of having the case determined by evidence is gone. This is pre-medieval justice. Appalling. Utterly appaling.


    For instance, I will happily kick someone out of my house if they're being a racist edgelord. I'm not preventing them from speaking, I'm
    just preventing them from speaking in my house. It's really no
    different.

    That is your personal property. Your house functions as YOUR HOUSE, so you have that right to make someone a trespasser if you no longer want them in. Did you offer your house for public use? No.

    It is very different with Facebook. You are not in Mark Zuckerburgs house, you are using a platform make publically available by Facebook for communication. They made a conscious decision to allow people to communicate and use it to contact and speak with people they know. The fact that it is privately owned does not give Facebook the right to make people rescind their basic fundamental right to freedom of speech and opinion.


    It is very simple. If a company doesn't want to respect human rights, freedom of speech, then they should not offer their product in countries which have such things. Again, no one forced anyone at Facebook to make their product. They CHOSE this, they must abide by the responsibilities they have to other human beings.

    I'm actally gobsmacked that we in the West have fallen so far, debased ourselves so much, that one can no longer assume that people support basic human rights and dignity. The fact that so many put human dignity and rights BELOW the needs of Billionairres desire to control us is evidence of how far we have fallen. I can understand why people talk of a civil war in the USA, it seems you guys want one.

    As to privatization, that is not the same as corporatization or even

    I think it's a conversation that could be reasonably had in a lot of
    ways. The counter is of course expanding self defense rights and
    firearm ownership of course. Which runs counter to the beliefs of many
    of those proposing "defund the police"

    What the "defund the police" people would like to see, is the role of
    Police moved back to the "serve & protect" mantra. They shouldn't be

    I'm not sure that was ever not the police for the most part... at least
    in cities.

    They shouldn't be capturing people with mental-health issues who may
    have gotten lost, or wandered off from their homes/facilities.

    Considering many of those with mental-health issues can be quite
    unstable, irrational and/or dangerous, it's not unreasonable for police
    to (also) be there.

    There's been a pretty bad knee-jerk reaction as of late, and companies
    like Facebook and Twitter are banning some people th might not deserve
    it, but flew a little too close to the sun. You can blame those who
    did deserve it for that. Regardless, Twitter and Facebook both have
    the right to prevent people from using their platform.

    That is a lot like saying that, in a neighbourhood were playing rap is illegal, cops are justified in beating anybody with an Eminem t-shirt, because wearing a t-shirt is dangerously close to playing rap. And then telling us that we should blame rap-players instead of the cops.

    I don't think I've ever seen a worse analogy to anything. Good job for that.

    A: playing rap isn't illegal, except if it's breaking noise ordinances.
    B: Cops aren't justified for beating anyone unless they are are a
    danger to the police/others C: Police/Laws are government institutions where the constitution applies Facebook and Twitter are private organizations (No, "publicly traded" doesn't count.)


    If private organisations don't have to abide by the first amendment, you really don't have free speech, do you? I mean, if they mediate everything, then practically it is gone.

    The constitution was written when "private" companies didn't have such control over our lives and over speech.

    No, but they aren't private ownership either. They are publicly traded companie given additional immunities from the government and those
    should also come with additional conditions and responsibilities beyond just to their shareholders.

    How do you feel about forcing a baker to bake a cake with a swaztika or gay couple on said cake?
    --

    I made that point earlier in the thread. Twitter/Facebook is a
    Christian bakery and Trump is a gay wedding cake.

    Not really a true analogy, is it? With the bakery, one person was refusing to commit to an action that deemed unacceptable, in the Twitter/Facebook case, no one is being asked to do anything at Twitter/Facebook by Trump.

    Its more the equivalent of the Christan bakery having a "write your own message on a cake in store" service, then refusing to allow the gay couple to make their own message on the cake themselves.

    Worst thing is... Democrats are sore losers and sore winners.

    I would like to disagree.

    After Trump won the 2016 election, I made the statement, "I'm not a fan of him winning, but maybe he'll do something good for the country." This doesn't make me a sore loser, it demonstrates my desire for his success, which in turn is our success.

    Biden is and will never be my first choice, but they are the cards I was dealt and I must accept them. Would someone like Bernie Sanders, who appeals to an even larger group of Americans, have held a higher margin of victory, likely. Am I upset that Biden became our president, no.

    It needs to limit private companies as well. That is the weakness with the 1st amendment. It was written when private companies couldn't limit speech all that much. Now they can, massively.

    If you are punished for what you say, you don't have free speech, even if the government does nothing. The Soviet Constituion also had Free Speech, but the didn't in practice. In practice, the USA doesn't really have it either.

    LBJ was right when he said he'd have a certain segment of the population voting Democratic for the next 200 years.... Formula seems to work for them.

    I watched a news segment the other day. In it they were talking about president Kennedy's, arguably the last real democrat, assassin Lee Harvey Oswald... Anyway, anyone with any sense of the truth knew Oswald as a communist sympathizer. He left the US to live in Russia for 3 years. gave up his passport when he did this. Came back to the US and was overt for his his like for communism and his disdain for a free society like the US. He went to Mexico to meet with Russian agents and later came back and assassinated J.F.K.

    With no evidences to the contrary the democrats painted Oswald as being a right wing zealot and had pretty much convinced a large segment of the population that this is true... The election where Barry Goldwater ran against L.B.J.... I think L.B.J. won every state except Goldwater's home state of Arizona. A lot of people siting that Goldwater was one of those right-wing nut jobs who were responsible for J.F.K.'s assassination.

    Anyway, interesting times.... Same shit different day... Democrats are in bed with 95% of the media, large corporations, big tech and a litany of other means... they want to control the narrative and control what the voting public think and believe.

    I believe we are currently, or close to it, living in post constitutional era. I'm hopeful we can pull out of it....

    Until that time... Life in the D.R. looks sweet and sweeter everyday... Government there is apparently less corrupt then the US and for the most part you have more freedoms than you have in the US.

    The swamp included Democrat's and rino do nothing Republicans, that's probably the whole reason behind the Russia HOAX and the rampant Election fraud.

    I remember seeing them for sale on road corners, you know the people who set up with a van and they sell what ever kind of banner or flag you want. But that was months ago around the time of the election. I have seen them flying around, but not for sale in sometime, other than facebook. Some guy was selling trump flags for 10$, biden flags for 20$. Just did a search and found a "fuck your feelings" flag from Ohio for 5$.

    Ben Shapiro comes accross as being "on the spectrum", so to speak. That statement, that facts don't care about feelings is a troubling one. Humans have this concept of decorum, of politness, and it is USUAL to hide facts, not point them out, in respect of other peoples dignity.

    Lets say you've been horribly disfigured in a fire, we don't point out your look then say "facts don't care about your feelings" if you don't want it discussed. ITs like when Ben was confronting Zoey Tur and kept harping on about how Caitlny (And Zoey) are genetically male. In Ben's mind this is like some new imposition, and he can't seem to comprehend that it is no big deal to just call her "she" and move on, that politeness is not delusion.

    Modern conservatism is a bit of a confused cesspit. Actually, American politics is a cesspit in general. Conservatives are reactionaries who counter the Liberals lead, and they aren't really conservatives at all, much in the way that the modern Liberal isn't a liberal, but an authoritarian.

    I can respect the view of Conservatives like Roger Scruton, Patrick Deneen and Douglas Murray, but republican party free market full-of-bravado conservatism like Hannity, is nauseating. Whatever legitimate points that Milo Yiannopoulous made was overshadows by his trollish, abrasive persona.

    I do agree with the conservative principles of personal responsibility, having a community, less government intervention. It's just that some people mangle these ideas.

    Its a tough one, because saying the wrong thing can cost you your job in this authoritarian, PC theocracy.

    But I'll say this, I do agree that we should offer the most effective help we can, and that the best solution is the effective one with the least deleterious outcome. It is very concerning that people are required to believe that the answer is always a sex change, and that there might not be something else going on.

    http://www.manlymovie.net/2021/02/carano-firing-exposes-obscene-double-standard s.html

    "Gina Carano has been fired from The Mandalorian [...] Lucasfilm announced this evening that the actress is no longer employed by the studio, nor do they have plans to work with her in the future. This comes in the wake of some Instagram posts Carano made earlier on Wednesday (which have now been deleted), one of which was a re-post from a different Instagram account comparing the plight of being a conservative actor in Hollywood to being Jewish during the holocaust"

    Its a tough one, because saying the wrong thing can cost you your job in authoritarian, PC theocracy.

    I guess somebody is going to say you are over dramatizing, so let's just thr some piece of news here to back your affirmation (if you don't mind)

    http://www.manlymovie.net/2021/02/carano-firing-exposes-obscene-double-stand s.html

    "Gina Carano has been fired from The Mandalorian [...] Lucasfilm announced t evening that the actress is no longer employed by the studio, nor do they ha plans to work with her in the future. This comes in the wake of some Instagr posts Carano made earlier on Wednesday (which have now been deleted), one of which was a re-post from a different Instagram account comparing the plight being a conservative actor in Hollywood to being Jewish during the holocaust

    The media just had to spin it, didn't they. She didn't compare being a conserv ative in Hollywood to being Jewish during the holocaust. She was just saying that there were similar patterns in motivation. That is a different thing.


    I heard someone say that we should consider Established Media the way we consider the Tobacco Lobby these days, and he wasn't wrong.

    They truly are gutter dwelling trash.

    Relatedly, Gina has been recently hired to appear in some e film so her career is far from over :-)

    "Carano says: "I am sending out a direct message of hope to everyone living in fear of cancellation by the totalitarian mob. I have
    only just begun using my voice which is now freer than ever before, and I hope it inspires others to do the same. They can't cancel
    us if we don't let them."

    What she actually said, if the source I read can be trusted, was that the
    Nazis convinced the non-Jewish public that the Jews were bad first, which
    then caused some of the public to do their dirty work for them. I would
    add that it also made it easier for the Nazis to do the rest of their dirty work later without as many non-Jews putting up resistance.

    Her comparision was between the Nazi-run press of the 1930's and the leftist-run US press of today. Both demonize/ed types of people in order
    to sway public opinion against those types of people. There is little
    doubt that is going on here now. We need to watch out for what could come next.

    the thing is, the jews were a minority over there but they took over everything.

    everthing was in shambles and that is what allowed hitler to take over.
    he made a lot of huge improvements. pregnant women were given free healthcare, huge interest rates on loans were outlawed. tons of stuff.
    unemployment improved. programs were created to protect the environment.

    pretty much everything hitler did was an improvement because germany was so bad back then. they were also all addicted to meth.

    the genocide and sending jews to palestine was the shitty stuff.

    Me too, and you can lump in a lot of the corporate world in that bucket. The more they talk of their "values", the more evil they become. It isn't just that she was fired, it was also that the media were happy to lie and misrepresent her. There is truly a lot of corruption in American leadership positions.

    Good to see she still has options. I have no opinion one way or the other in term of her acting skills, but if cancellation brings new opportunities, it makes the threats less effective.

    Thats what I read from her tweet, a warning of what type of thinking can lead to. The demonisation was more than just demonisation, it had to involve demonising anyone who supported the Jews, or those who were neutral on the matter. You see, it wasn't just the Jews they were after, it was any German who might be construed as being on their side. So people were afraid to speak up, and because few spoke it, it APPEARED that the population was with the Nazis. With the population scared to speak up, there is little opposition.

    There is another aspect, and that is the importance of the mission. Communism and Nazism made it as if there a massive existential threat. That we were at a crossroads, and the fate of humanity hung in the balance. They didn't just make out Jews to be troublesome, the SURVIVAL of the nation was at stake. Look at how leftists talk of this supposed bigotry causing genocide. They make out as if right wing views are killing people by the thousands, and imperiling us all. This drives justification, an urgency, it makes taking a life the lesser evil.

    Time and time again I see rhetoric which would easily justify murder later on, and its a worry, it really is.

    Agreed. Maybe not at this minute but if we ever swerve too far left,
    towards communism or some other collective "greater good" path, there will
    be trouble for those who do not comply.

    The "Communist-Capitalist" dichotomy or axis is not useful as an explanatory model anymore. It is clear that Capitalist entities, CEO's, large companies, big finance, big tech are on the same side as the "communists". Using the term implies that the point of difference is public vs private ownership of the means of capital, and public vs private renting of people, but that isn't the debate.

    This is part of why I think conservatives are losing, many are still fighting the ideological war of the 1940s and 1950s, and are obsolete.

    Woke activists aren't really concerned about this.

    What they are is closer to a religion.
