I noticed a lot of posts decrying Parler as an “App for Racists”.
This is how they will kill Free Speech, since Free Speech allows Racists to express their views, therefore, we must kill The First Amendment.

I disagree; a post may be racist, that would only mean that the poster is racist, not the platform.
If an airplane carries a racist, does that make Boeing or the airline racist?
Say it ain't so.
I may now have to go out into the Wilderness, rending my garments and pleading for forgiveness.

Now that the fun's over, pass the word back to the source of that blivet that I've heard enough of those lame attempts at slander since '65 to ask to come up with something even faintly original before they put me to sleep.
...been called "Babyburner, raaaacist, etc" so many times I've considered using them as passwords.
They’re gonna have to bring a helluva lot more firepower to eliminate the First Amendment, but it’s true that they will marginalize Parler, or try. However, I suspect Parler will be the first to welcome the section 230 changes if they want to be a truly neutral platform not a publisher that engages in censorship.
One or the other, social media can’t be both, and for the most part, theothers have already chosen. Facebook is the interesting one, the one I have least use for seems to be holding back. Twitter won’t kick Trump off because he’s too good for business, but they will increasingly start to screw with him, and I look for him to be on Parler within days. Then we’ll be able to compare: Parler vs. Twitter. Free Speech vs. Censored Speech.
