This article makes for interesting reading. The mainstream media have, it seems deliberately avoided labelling violent protests as violent and have deliberately tried to minimise the violence perpetrated by BLM.
How do you know what a bunch of independent private hosting companies will or won't do? Oh look, they have found a host, maybe.Actually they can’t. No-one will host them. Seems an over-reach to me.
I just had a look at Twitter’s rules and honestly can’t see which he broke. Lying isn’t in there. Incitement to violence is what has been used to deplatform him recently. The closest he comes to this is ‘come to the rally on Jan 6th. It will be wild’. Not sure if this is an actual incitement to act violently. Maybe hateful speech? Or election manipulation?
This wasn’t on Twitter, which was my point.
They didn’t make a very strong case.
Obviously no. What is your point?So you had seen the Twitter reasoning before your first post quoted here or not?
Obviously no. What is your point?
He has nailed it actually.You really need to read a bit more widely than newscorp publications.
Crazy isn't how so many people read Trump's statements as incitement to violence. Absolute poppycock. Trump really has sent people nuts.They didn’t make a very strong case.

Some of these turned violent is a nice way of saying 19 people died, billions in property damage incurred, dozens were injured, many of them police officers. You ignore that the majority of the capitol hill protesters were peaceful. One side gets the best perspective possible and the other the worst from you. Interesting, I wonder why?Millions around the world protested against the treatment of black people by law enforcement. Some our these turned violent. (1 study suggested 94% were peaceful) (&i would argue much of the violence as perpetrated by opportunists with no interest to the BLM movement. )
There was 1 "protest" in Washington, that turned violent, 1 on duty policeman was killed, many more injured. They had no cause other than their team lost the election, and they set out to be violent.
Trying to argue they are the same puts you in the McCormack category.
The world has indeed gone mad. Baloo just defended Trump.Agree. Espeacially those of his own party who have turned on him now, Whitehorse staffers who have quit, and even Trump himself who has accepted some responsibility for the Capitol Hill gathering.
Fools the lot of them.
Not in itself a bad thing. The problem is violence. If we want to prevent violence we need to stop insisting on forcing people to be under the control of a political class they don't approve of.This was an attack on democracy.

Just trying to understand your last reply, and the whole sequence really. You bothered looking up and reading Twitter's terms of service agreement but didn't think to read why Twitter decided to permanently suspend Trump.

EXCLUSIVE – Parler finds new domain host at Sammamish, Washington based Epik
The platform went offline on Sunday when AWS terminated their contract with the alternative social media platform.malcontentment.com
All those cloud providers are free to make their own company decisions - are you going to force a private company to host material, objectionable or otherwise? If they judge the backlash will hurt their positions, that's the free market in operation sunshine.
If Parler seriously can't find a host, raise capital and build server farms. Apparently a lot of RWNJs want it, so there's a business opportunity.
I wonder if anyone has thought to ask: if it was so clear that Trump was not inciting a violent coup on Twitter and at his rally, why did all those Trump fans march up the hill and try to initiate a violent coup?I wonder if anyone has thought to ask: if it was so clear Trump was inciting a violent coup on Twitter and at his rally, where were the police?
