Jaskalas has been slowly changing and he does understand that many GOP policies are wrong. On economic policies he is pretty liberal. When it comes to social issues he tends to be much more conservative.
That depends on the day of the week and the current moonphase. I'm pretty sure the fucker is bipolar.
You are only "explaining" your fucked up opinion that the idiots getting Parler pulled from AWS is ALL THE DEM'S FAULT. That's not explanation, it's FUD.You lying piece of shit.
I NEVER SAID it was unfair.
I am merely telling you that they oppose being silenced. It is a partisan issue. AKA Water is wet.
Stop being a doucebag, grow the fuck up, and face the truth without attacking people trying to explain it.
He sure likes blaming Democrats for the Republicans being shitty people, though.Jaskalas has been slowly changing and he does understand that many GOP policies are wrong. On economic policies he is pretty liberal. When it comes to social issues he tends to be much more conservative.

Many posts / posters in this topic are reactionary when coming into contact with the startling notion that Republicans oppose the content moderation coming from "Big Tech", which happens to be targeting Republicans. :bigthink: It's almost like the partisan nature of THIS ENTIRE NATION is resulting in partisan content moderation.
Heaven forbid I call water... wet?
Let's start at the top....
You are simply wrong. Those are Democrat policies. As Republicans are fleeing in droves to less filtered services. For freedom, or madness. Depending on how you classify their alt-reality. For example: https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/17/politics/marjorie-taylor-greene-twitter/index.html
When Democrats silence Republicans, Republicans will endeavor to not be silenced. Parler and Republican based media offer them that. You have struck at something more central and more important to them than Fox News.
Honest question, have you looked outside? Have you... seen America lately?
Republicans are forming a new religion. Core tenets of it include an alt-reality with its own set of facts and truthiness. When you try to content filter the truth, you are content filtering Republicans. This is inherently a Republican VS Democrat topic. Stop trying to pretend it isn't. Parler exists because Democrats are filtering Republicans and Republicans are getting tired of it. Then Parler is boycotted because Republicans do something stupid / dangerous to our Republic. That escalation with a pursuit and chase down to silence their alt-media is ongoing.
I expect, for the notion of everyone's safety (and judicial claims of illegal content) that Parler will continue to be pursued as far as Democrats can pursue it.
I'm sorry, are you going to claim that Republicans are on board with that? Trying to shut down their own media? To silence their own voters? To stop their own religion? That this isn't partisan? Hahahaha... you want me to believe that crap? Why? Why would you guys cling to that delusion except for your own Ego? I like to think that a Liberal would pursue the truth no matter how painful it may seem to you. Granted, we are still only human. Apparently a wake up call is needed. A recent news article may allow me to demonstrate a truth of mine that, I am guessing you wouldn't believe if I told you. Especially given the fact that I've already posted of it a few times before.
See... the Republicans I know want Trump to perform a military coup. Because Democrats stole the election. It just so happens, MyPillow Guy, Mike Lindell was at the White House holding a piece of paper. Detailing portions of that coup as described to me by my local Republicans days earlier. This isn't a few people. This is the Republican Party. Not every last one of them, but people like Romney have no place among the faithful and will be driven out. Those that remain want our blood. And that is no exaggeration.
Go on then, where did I blame Democrats?
He is a recovering right winger from Alabama (iirc). Although from a policy stand point he has moderated or liberalized a lot of the years, he still has some of the right victimhood issues and being from Bama the next civil war is always a few weeks away.Did someone hijack Jaskalas' recently? Is this not the same person posting under this account for years? If I recall correctly, he is left leaning and uses his brain to think about issues. If this is the same person, then I trust he is asking honest questions and it is just a bunch of jackbooted thugs trying to silence him....sounds familiar.
If some really did hijack his account and is now posting support for alt-right content, then I can see where most of you are coming from.
Go on then, where did I blame Democrats?
Surely if you are not lying you can demonstrate this.
Ultimately if Democrats continue to pursue a "you will filter content to our liking"...
...It has no other choice if boycotts are continued.
Do you think Democrats will not apply pressure on those services to remove Republicans from their system?
...partisan content moderation...
...Those are Democrat policies...
...When Democrats silence Republicans...

NOPE NOPE I NEVER SAID THOSE WORDS HURRRRR...Should I use small words, so that you can keep up?

You'd last half a second on there if you said anything in support of any democrat (or non-Repub) or didn't just generally agree with the ideas and tone from other members. They don't like 'stand-outs', they want RWNJ parrots.The funny part is Parler kicked / banned plenty of people.
Society needs to figure out how to "vaccinate" ourselves against disinformation, so sites like this don't matter

Edit: this is exactly why I laughed at the notion that they had no moderation- it was moderated alright, but the opposite direction of what you'd expect. They had fairly rabid mods/admins from what I heard.
I follow this liberal guy on Twitter who likes to cuss a lot, Tony Posnanski, He called Dan Bongino a "Toaster Head motherfucker" on Parler in the early days of Parler and got banned immediately lol
NOPE NOPE I NEVER SAID THOSE WORDS HURRRRR...
Shut the fuck up, clown.
"Democrats and Republicans are fighting"
Is somehow equal to "Democrats are evil" in your twisted mind?
Sorry, I get it now. English must be a second language for you and I apologize for not seeing that sooner and being more accommodating.
I believe many Trumpers do want that for sure. The reason Trump and other righties got suspended from Twitter is because they were either neo-nazis promoting violence, QAnon promoting violence, or pushing massive conspiracies like the election was going to be stolen SINCE LAST SPRING with really no other intention but to inspire violence if Trump lost. Maybe don't be neo-nazis or Q-Anon? What should Twitter do at this point? Let these people spew white nationalist hate speech and conspiracy theories that inspire violence? The FBI labeled QAnon a violence inspiring domestic threat a while ago. Twitter should let them have a platform?
Such a dishonest shithead. Shut the fuck up, clown."Democrats and Republicans are fighting"

I don't think Republicans would mind something that is biased towards them. Just as we do not mind something biased towards us. Par the course really.
I don't get what your play is here. Are you saying that FB, TW, AWS should host them or else?
What kind of wake up call are you looking for here?
No. What you want (and continue to do) is make claims that 'republicans' being filtered online was pointed actions taken by Democrats. You refuse to acknowledge that there are ToS on private corporation's services and that it has nothing to do with Democrats or what they want.As for my reply and quote... more than one poster is somehow outraged and indignant over the idea that there is partisan fighting in America. As if the idea of content moderating / filtering is non-partisan. I am stating that they are wrong to call it non-partisan, and I am demonstrating my point by highlighting the American Divide with people who live in an alt-reality, are part of a religious cult, and who happen to want our blood because we stole an election from them.
I want... for posters here to wake up and do not pretend that the battle over Parler and content moderation isn't Republican VS Democrat? You called my original post "pushing a conspiracy theory". WTF is that? The backlash my first post received, from multiple posters, was shocking and radically off base from any purpose I had in originally posting in this topic. The reply is simply an address of those responses. I thank you for at least engaging even if there remains a huge gap in mutual understanding. Some of the other posts however....
