    Completely sane and normal and reflects the views of Twitter Management, which is why Twitter censors have passed judgement and allowed these tweets to stand

    Question for my Tug patriots - is there a theoretical line that Parler could cross that would justify companies cutting ties with them and effectively shutting down their business?

    Welp. Twitter still features child porn and is the main comm for leftist groups to coordinate to destroy property and injure/kill those that disagree with their ideologies.


    Wouldn’t you consider those lines to be enough for companies, that were truly concerned about Societies well being, to pull the plug?

    Agree. If section 230 is gone. Twitter won’t be able to defend children from a violent enemy

    Censorship is the tool used when the lie loses it's power.

    You won't get an argument from me on that. Twitter cannot possibly censor even a reasonable fraction of the volume that exists on their platform. So to selectively enforce some content while allowing much more heinous content to flow through unfettered is cynical shareholder pandering at its finest.

    But my question remains. If you're AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, etc. and you host a large portfolio of websites, is there a line that a specific customer could cross where you discontinue service? Or should they be obligated to allow all traffic, regardless of content?

    No. These are the equivalents to the phone lines and the switch boards pre Al Gore Internet. No one ever wanted to cancel a phone customer because of some unsavory conversations.

    Besides, the market eventually would handle this by not advertising on Twitter, Parler, etc, if they felt that there was mainstream traffic that didn’t align with their corporate “values”.

    Expect a @TheKobeStopper-Ian non response to this one. Conservatives are on it, so it’s bad.

    I would imagine that you won’t be able to find any high capacity servers in the near future as companies now can see that they will be held hostage by the hosting behemoths and will buy them up and go in-house again.

    This may be the only good thing that arises from this.

    Child porn and genocide would probably qualify here, but I don’t work at Twitter.

    Only one single line.

    If the business is Legal, you host it and bake the fucking cake. If you have concerns the business is engaged in illegal behavior, you bake the fucking cake and report the suspicious activity to authorities.
