They were de-platformed for no greater reason than that the shooter had a (not very active nor interactive) account there.
It’s as flimsy an excuse as you can imagine. Not one other social media service would be operating if these same conditions applied.
Guy who shot Scalise had a Twitter account. Murders and tortures have been livestreamed on Facebook. Child porn is common on Instagram. Etc. etc. etc.
If this is the standard no one is safe, including FR.
In fact, I’d say this is the first time in 20+ years I’ve been here where I’d say there is now a genuine reason to be concerned that FR will be politically de-platformed as well, with all that is needed for FR to disappear being an excuse.
In other words, FR could disappear tomorrow, if someone with an account here goes postal. Even if that person is a leftist and not conservative at all. Meanwhile the same does NOT apply to the litany of death threats constantly streaming from the Left.
FR doesn’t tolerate threats, anti-Jewish attacks, pornography, extremist hate, etc. Big difference.
