Twitter has had enough

[jimnyc]

And away they go.

How much will this help Parler by him and others joining there? I'm sure a lot move, but how many stay or truly leave FB is another question. Plus, Parler is already being pressed to implement ways of censorship. Either that, or perhaps no app on Google play or the Apple.

Twitter Bans President Donald Trump — PERMANENTLY

Twitter has suspended President Donald Trump’s account permanently.

Reports are coming in that he has now joined Parler — and Google and Apple are both now threatening to ban that entire platform.

“After close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence,” Twitter said in a statement.

General Flynn Has Been Kicked Off Twitter

General Mike Flynn has been suspended from Twitter.

The suspension appears to be permanent.

Gen. Flynn is the latest in what appears to be a massive purge of Trump supporters from the platform.

“America fought a good fight. Our great Country is resilient & we will get thru this difficult time. Acting responsibly at this moment is what all Americans must do. During the past 4 tough years, I found faith, family and true friends were my foundation. God Bless America,” Flynn wrote on Parler on Friday.

Attorney Sidney Powell Now Suspended from Twitter – Joins the Growing List of Trump Supporters Being Silenced

Attorney Sidney Powell has been suspended from Twitter.

The suspension appears to be permanent.

Powell joins General Flynn is the latest in what appears to be a massive purge of Trump supporters from the platform. Stop the Steal organizers Michael Coudrey and Ali Alexander were both banned the evening of the protest on the Capitol. Lin Wood was kicked off the next day. The Gateway Pundit’s Joe Hoft was suspended last week for putting up a post about Hunter Biden.

The purge is hitting both small accounts and those of President Trump and his prominent supporters and allies. They seem to be targeting just about anyone who questions the 2020 election results.

Yeah ... I just saw this. Sad day for America when dissenting voices are silenced like this. And the absolute power of social media, Google and Apple to shut down Parler because they allow free speech.

Youtube has already warned they will remove videos and deplatform anyone who questions the election.

[Kathianne]

An argument can be made of monopoly on part of google, apple, Twitter, etc.

They are colluding to prevent competition of new companies like Parker.

It's what caused the break up of AT&T.

[SassyLady]

Not sure that will happen as long as Democrats are in power. After all, they don't get censored.

Is anyone big enough to sue them and not get eaten alive?

Harry Truman said it best:

“Once a govt. is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear”

Probably, just got to find the right billionaire, most likely removed from social media.

Apple Threatens to Remove Parler From App Store, Google Removes App From Google Play Store

Following the events that occurred on Wednesday at the Capitol building with radical Trump supporters and the former president finally being suspended from Twitter, it looks as though Google and Apple are taking steps to remove Parler– a hotspot for far-right extremists and Trump's followers– from its app store.


Apple has issued a warning to the app that it must implement a full moderation plan to its platform within the next 24 hours or be removed from the App store for good, as cited by Buzzfeed News.


"We have received numerous complaints regarding objectionable content in your Parler service, accusations that the Parler app was used to plan, coordinate, and facilitate the illegal activities in Washington D.C. on January 6, 2021 that led (among other things) to loss of life, numerous injuries, and the destruction of property,” Apple wrote to Parler in an email obtained by Buzzfeed this morning. “The app also appears to continue to be used to plan and facilitate yet further illegal and dangerous activities.


Google has already made the decision to nix the app, however, according to CNBC News. The company reportedly issued a statement explaining the move, reminding that their guidelines require social media apps to have content moderation policies that remove posts inciting violence. They've found that Parler was being used as a grounds to encourage and even facilitate some of the Capitol Hill violence, and thus, removed it.


In response, Parler CEO John Matze wrote in the app that they will not "cave to pressure from anti-competitive actors."

“We will not cave to pressure from anti-competitive actors! We will and always have enforced our rules against violence and illegal activity. But we WONT cave to politically motivated companies and those authoritarians who hate free speech!” he wrote in a message.


Matze went on to say that: "Anyone who buys an Apple phone is apparently a user. Apperently they know what is best for you by telling you which apps you may and may not use."


It is still unclear whether Parler will go through with the changes, but based on the moves Twitter has been making following Wednesday's events, it wouldn't be surprising if Apple followed suit here.

I'm glad their stock is going down but everything I read is only about 4%

This is having repercussions around the world. I read a thread from India talking about putting some type of control on twitter before it starts influencing their politics. They say it's small now so would be good time to put some controls on it.

I'd like to think that India's reaction would serve as a warning, but there's no indication that the left is doubling down on mistakes on all fronts.

[KarlMarx]

As in Donald J Trump?

As of 6:00 AM 1/9/2021... Apple and Google are banning Parler , the conservative alternative to Facebook, from their app stores unless they remove "objectionable" content.

This has gone on far enough. They ought to rewrite Section 230 of the Telecommunications Act to allow people to sue Facebook, Twitter, etc. The only content that should be removed is anything that advocates criminal activity.

Mexico has chimed in:

Mexican President AMLO Condemns Twitter, Facebook for Censoring Donald Trump

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador condemned the social media Masters of the Universe for censoring the accounts of President Donald Trump.

“I don’t like anybody being censored or taking away from the the right to post a message on Twitter or Face(book). I don’t agree with that, I don’t accept that,” said López Obrador, according to a report by the Associated Press on Thursday.

“How can you censor someone: ‘Let’s see, I, as the judge of the Holy Inquisition, will punish you because I think what you’re saying is harmful,'” added Mexico’s president. “Where is the law, where is the regulation, what are the norms? This is an issue of government, this is not an issue for private companies.”

Presidential spokesman Jesús Ramírez added that “Facebook’s decision to silence the current leader of the United States calls for a debate on freedom of expression, the free exchange of information on the web, democracy and the role of the companies that administer (social) networks.”

López Obrador shared these sentiments on Thursday, after Mark Zuckerberg blacklisted President Trump from the Facebook and Instagram platforms “indefinitely,” following the events on Capitol Hill the day prior.

In a similar move on Thursday, Twitter had deleted the president’s tweets, suspended his account for 12 hours, and threatened to ban him permanently from the platform.

Biden is not even president yet and we are already turning into a totalitarian state.

This is why section 230 of the Telcomm Act needs to be updated.

This just in, Amazon has yanked its online hosting services for Parler citing Parler's failure to regulate "objectionable" content.

Meaning that Parler has no platform to run on. In other words, no Parler at all.

The CEOs of the tech companies are now acting like governments

Hello APK repositories.

Hello APK repositories.

I would think Azure, Google, IBM, or Oracle clouds would be a better bet. Since Larry Ellison is a Trump supporter, Oracle may glad to host them.
