Don't worry; you'll get what you want. Uncle Joe is supposed to be preparing Patriot Act 2 for begin the new War of Terror against ideologically inspired domestic terrorists, so it would seem we may very well get arrested for what we say.

He doesn't live in this country so he doesn't care. He voted from Australia and no doubt for Biden.

Actually...ATS is rather covered as use of the site by visiting or as a member implies agreement with the T&C.

The quick summary of the following is “we didn’t write it.” But those that yammer on about “censorship” when the staff actions a post...this is part of why.

Free speech does not include terrorist threats, incitement of terrorism, planning terrorism, and the like.

And yet blm speaks unimpeded after riot after riot

Almost like those in charge arbitrarily decide what speech they call terrorism in a hypocritical way to benefit themselves

a reply to: GravitySucks

Point to the terrorist threats, incitement , and/or planning of please on Parler. If you can't then your post is nothing but meaningless drivel

a reply to: rnaa

Funny a guy cool with tech companies that control the bulk of the flow of information most peiple get cause they are private businesses censoring people

Also whining they need special 230 protections that other smaller businesses don’t get

Almsot like he’s not concerned about pure free speech at all, and is just making excuses for censoring groups he doesn’t like

So you want to ban Antifa, BLM, ISIS, Al Qeda from Twitter?

If they're doing the above, of course.

And we did ban ISI and Al Qaeda, other than when we were watching their accounts.

a reply to: Grambler

BLM?

What about the litany of things said by Sheila Jackson Lee, Maxine Waters and many, many others about attacking Trump supporters and members of the administration such as press secretaries over the years? That was allowed to no end as Tweets and FB posts.

a reply to: GravitySucks

Oh you work for them?

Their accounts are still active.

You must be aligned with them.

Oh, and there's a little litmus test that can easily be applied to determine if it's free speech or not.
Forward the speech in question to the authorities.
If that person is arrested, then you're right.
If that person isn't, then t is in fact free speech and everything that you just posted is a steaming pile of dung.
simple

Get rid of 'Section 230' and that statement in the Terms and Conditions is 100% worthless.

The statement is there specifically to ensure ATS is protected by Section 230.

And what is it that you think I want?

Apple can suck my Pear.

That's stupid talk. I most certainly do care.

It is Mrs. Trump that does not care - and she said so in exactly those words: "I Don't Care Do U"

Please stop trying to invent world views for other people - listen to what they are saying, not what you are thinking.

Why bother going through the formalities. Apple should just ban parlor and anyone else they want to ban.

You don't need an Apple App Store version of parlor in order to view and use it.

Who is in charge of the internet? Shutting that down is how you stop Communications.

At this point and I even thought this before the capitol protests, it's better to pull back and not worry about every little thing that happens. Screw the social media it's partly to blame for America's psychosis anyway. The left are going to take full advantage of every opportunity to punish the conservatives best way is to take the lumps and not give them the satisfaction of bitching and complaining about it. Pull back be patience they will screw up eventually they always do.

I use VPNs but Parler is up and down. Demand crashed their servers earlier in combination with some attacks.

Gonna be an interesting year to say the least.
