Just because twitter has illegal content doesn't make what parler was doing any less illegal. Just because someone else breaks the law doesn't give you a free pass.

This is not a free speech issue on any social media.

Amazon had every right to stop illegal activity on their platform.

I believe the "law" should be applied equally. "Illegal activity" ignored on one platform or given a wink and nod and scanned under a microscope on the other platform is strange.

The selective application of policy while pretending to be fair and unbiased tends to make folks cynical.
