Funny how all of the people spurting out "It's a private company they can do what they want" after banning Donald Trump have now changed their mind about big tech censorship.

The precedent of accepted censorship was set and accepted. Deal with it.

I’m far more concerned with deleting an entire group than a single account.
That's what they've been doing for quite a while, but no one cared.
How about deleting an entire platform? Were you concerned about that?
I don’t use Parler, but I don’t think it should be constructively banned from the internet in the US, if that’s what your referring to.

Insofar as people are committing crimes on Parler, I hope that they will be investigated.

Isn't that the intended purpose of banning Trump? To delete his supporters communication platform?
His supporters seem to be continuing to use Twitter.
I haven't changed my mind.
