If you saw the amount of left-wing content calling for the execution of politicians, calling for communist revolutions, you wouldn't be asking this question. Twitter is just as toxic as Parler, except one is left-wing and the other is right-wing. If it was the left being censored I would be outraged on their behalf as well. Edit: Not if, when the left gets censored by big tech, I will stand for freedom of speech with them, but I don't think many conservatives will be left to stand with us.

Exactly. And now the leftists down vote you for presenting facts.

  You've been posting so many flamewar comments to HN that we've banned the account. It's too bad, because if you would use the site as intended, HN would be better for having you. But you've been flouting the rules egregiously and often, to the point where it's become the only thing that you're doing here. That's not cool. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Twitter is left wing? I thought it was mastodon that was left wing version

  The fact that each side believes Twitter is in favor of the other one should clue them both in to the very obvious truth that none of this is partisan to Twitter. They're only afraid of liability since people have now died.

You're completely ignoring the catalyst for this was that a governement insurrection where 5 people, including some cops, were murdered was planned very heavily and also broadcasted on this service.

  The capitol stuff was organised on Facebook, not Parler: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25776225 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25776225 What about the Summer violence from BLM? Dozens of people died, with Twitter being used as a communications hub to attack specific individuals.

    I also distinctly remember more fires, property damage, and calls to ruin peoples lives during the summer.

      To compare the two is to ignore so much context I can't imagine you're being anything other than disingenuous.

    Dozens is a bit disingenuous, and you are comparing a protest movement over the course of many months involving up to 20 million people. How does this have any relevance to anything?

      I am not trying to be funny, but disparate treatment.

      Why? Both are a disenfranchised voice complaining with violence. One might be more valid than the other, but that doesn't mean one is inherently better.
