This isn't "things that aren't exactly popular". This is organizing an insurrection against the government and advocating for violence against groups and individuals.

And Twitter hosts leaders of terroristic regimes. It remains unbanned. What, exactly, is your point?
I understand, but that doesn't really have to do with the point I'm trying to make. Even if you use "organizing an insurrection against the government" as your baseline - is a single post on Facebook/Twitter enough to justify banning? Obviously not - the question is what metrics are acceptable given a certain level of capability by the forum/company.

Only so much moderation is possible given a certain amount of moderators and company resources. Are these rules inherently biased against smaller companies?

What "single" post are you talking about?

Parler had thousands of offending posts and users and refused to moderate at all after being told to to be in compliance with various ToS.

It's no surprise that Amazon, Apple, Google, Twilio, etc., do not want to be associated with or support violent seditionists.

Whatever metric you need to hit to be linked to a group of people who rioted in the capitol building of a superpower state I presume.
