@metal-brain saidIf it was the social media arm of Al Qaeda, would you be asking the same question ?
Apple, Google, and Amazon banned the social media network Parler from their services.
Does that violate the Sherman Act?

@metal-brain saidThe DOJ isn't the legal arm of the right wing nut fringe.
An anti-trust lawsuit must be filed first.
Why isn't the DOJ doing that?
Parler filed suit against Amazon, so there is no need for DOJ intervention in any event. https://www.seattletimes.com/business/amazon/amazon-rebuffs-conservative-social-media-app-parlers-demand-to-be-reinstated-online/

@metal-brain saidPerhaps you should read the act and then explain how Amazon, Google or Apple are competitors of Parler. It’s like claiming a grocer is a competitor of auto repair garage.

Facebook and Twitter especially might be considered competitors of Parler but they have no say in who Amazon, Google or Apple decide to remove from there servers.

@metal-brain saidParker is a site where terrorism and insurgency are openly advocated. Hosting such a site could leave them open to accusations of collusion.

I think your only focused on your own anger and that of your fellow ultra right wing racists and you have no idea how angry the other side are. Any business that facilitates your ability to spout your lies and hatred will be economically sanctioned by the majority and that is the right and duty of the majority.
The time for pretending that all ideas are equal are over for now.
