Can't wait for the American right to blame these private companies for trying to limit the congress members right to free speech

[GordonBlue]

what's with the NRA.
I haven't heard from them in a while.
I wonder what they're up to as they've been unusually quiet the last few months.

It it just because of their infighting and money problems?

[transplant99]

This is extremely intriguing.

Statements like that are both wrong and, in combination with both a map that can be used to identify individual households of Parler users and a climate of justified anger about what happened on the 6th and what has been happening generally with the far-right, have potential to result in people who have done nothing wrong becoming targets of public anger and distrust.

Hahahaha. Yeah, keep thinking that. Every single person that was on Parler is now being investigated, especially those on "the map." You are who you associate with, and when you associate with a bunch of seditionists you are considered a seditionist until proven otherwise. Every single name on their membership list will get a going over and see if there is data that moves them higher on the person of interest list. Ignoring that is just ignoring the reality of how investigations are done. Just like any ####### with an account on Stormfront was considered a racist white nationalist until proven otherwise, #######s who flocked to Parler will be lumped in the same way with those who partook in sedition against the United States. Parler is a treasure trove of evidence and the authorities will exhaust it before clearing anyone. The spider web there is going to lead some very interesting directions.

Hey there's always Discover Card and Diners Club!

[Wormius]

Diner’s Club. That’s a blast from the past.

Watching this impeachment vote is disgusting. Seeing the majority of the GOP defend this president after what happened last week is just embarrassing and sad. That party needs a serious purge of these Trumpist, extreme right wing conservatives. How anybody could support or vote for this party is beyond me.

[woob]

So many GOP who refuse to wear a mask properly. Children.

No need for being condescending and impolite. Seriously, wtf? I'm not interested in debating your ego.

We can just wait and see what the outcome is anyways. I certainly don't believe that everyone investigated by the FBI based on using Parler will be charged. I believe the FBI will be able to discern that some people on Parler, including some people posting on Parler whose locations appear on that map, weren't actually part of that seditious group. You may not make that distinction, but I have faith that the competent people of the FBI and the judicial system will.

Nothing apparently.

What's stormfront?

Edit:

Stormfront is a pan-European white nationalist, white supremacist, antisemitic, Holocaust denial, and Neo- Nazi Internet forum, and the Web's first major racial hate ...

I usually don't mind Shapiro, and I think he's OK when there's someone to converse with (i.e. Joe Rogan). You can see how he arrives at certain points and I can appreciate that.

However, in this instance, he's an idiot. There's a big difference between "zip ties", i.e cable management ties that he's talking about, and plastic handcuffs which is what these guys were carrying.

Not the same thing Ben...

I clearly made the distinction earlier. Discern means they will have weighted the evidence and cleared them on wrong doing. Until that juncture they will be on a list of possible suspects. The FBI, and other branches of government, will exhaust all evidence to determine guilt and innocence. A membership on Parler clearly puts you in the crosshairs of the investigation seeing as that was one of the major platforms used to communicate plans of action in the seditious activities of the 6th.

you're not a stupid person. I don't believe you wouldn't have known of the infamous stormfront.

I can be somewhat ignorant, and I know.

I had never heard of Stormfront until now either. You’re not alone in shunning the extremes of the Internet

I also shun the extremes of the internet, but it's made mainstream news many time over the years. so many times in fact that the site should be common knowledge. It's not like you need to go somewhere to actually be aware of it.
