> If no other companies want to host Parler, isn't that more a reflection of Parler than the hosting companies?

Yes. The funny thing is that it happened to people who foam at the mouth about the rights of private businesses to do what they want and decry government intervention.

Agreed. This kind of situation is perfect for separating the true freedom loving (i.e. "you do what you want with what you own") from the conservatives (i.e. "you do what we want you to do"). Those who like freedom says "that's fine, it's their call" or even "I won't do business with them anymore because I disagree with this call", but the conservatives say that "it's wrong and the gov should intervene".

You're conflating different groups of people because you don't understand the nuances of the different groups at play. These are not the same groups in the slightest.

How are they not when they support the same group of politicians?

[khawkins]

Since when do people only vote for people they completely agree with and not the "better of two evils"? If the choices are the party that actively wants to censor you and the party that doesn't want to pass legislation to protect you from censorship, the choice is obvious.

[dagmx]

You're the one claiming they're not the same group in the slightest. How do you quantify that?

Surely if they're voting for the same people, some of them must share the same beliefs. Unless you're saying all Parler users are completely distinct from all non-Parler conservatives?

[khawkins]

You're the one who said these people are the same group, the onus is on you to provide evidence of your claim. But it should be self-evident that tech giants maintain a near oligopoly of social media discourse and people aren't going to "foam at the mouth" to support their own ideological destruction.

[dagmx]

Where did I say that? You made the claim, I questioned it.
