I think they are being proactive rather than have it bite them in the ass.

The fact they did it right after the DC riot, I think tells me they panicked. They suddenly realized how far social media can influence people and how dangerous Parler is. Whether they actually have a moral opinion on the matter they at least are scared of getting sued

I dont know what parler is, but that description is what i understand about Trumps Twitter ban as well.

Well, maybe not sued, but theyre definitely nervous about something, and dont want to be a part of it.

Or atleast Twitters explanation of the Trump ban, gave me a lot of

Chickens are terrible creatures. They will eat their own, slugs and snails. Brassicas taint their eggs, too.

Parler was a new Twitter or Facebook thing for conservatives. It welcomed the worst kinds of people and promised no censorship of vile views. But it didn't last long. Its been banned on all the major platforms. Apple, Android, Amazon....probably Microsoft too

Easy opportunity to wipe out potential for others to leave their sites.

And win over part of the public in doing so. Win win

100% PR after the terrorist attempt at a coup. They never gave a fuck and they sure as fuck still don't. But they realise they have to be seen taking a stance rather than allowing terrorists on their platform.

would you host Parler TC? If you answer no then you have your answer, if you would, then why, and are you prepared for the public backlash and repeated law enforcement dealings, and if section 230 is repealed like the right wants to do, the legal consequences?

They knew there were murmurings of breaking the app up, and banning Trump from social media, and were concerned that if they were the only one not to take action, the Trump clods would flock to them and make trouble on their services. It's like playing hot potato with idiots.
