Think of this analogy: Almost every driver in the US breaks traffic laws every time they drive. They speed, cross a line, don't come to a complete stop at stop signs, etc. Imagine that there was a company in charge of doling out violations, and only conservative drivers were having their licenses revoked.

Every platform has people who violate the TOS, and by that standard, they all should be deplatformed. But that is not happening. You cannot say with any level of proof that Parler was worse at moderating content than any of the other social platforms

There are plenty of conservatives on Twitter and Facebook. Being a conservative doesn't get you banned. Being a shitty person gets you banned.

Those that stormed the capitol will be able to hang out in jail together and share their conservative ideas. It's a great compromise. Free food too.
