David Wood explains the hypocrisy of Amazon banning Parler but not Twitter

David Wood explains that Amazon banning the Parler service from its servers is hypocritical, because Amazon is also hosting Twitter that contains similar types of messages that got Parler banned.

[Note that the same type of hypocrisy is shown by both Apple and Google removing the Parler app from their mobile devices.  I think that Parler will be able to win lawsuits to be reinstated, however.

Of course most people react with revulsion to the extreme racist language that is shown, so even if some does “make it through” it is usually self-defeating on the part of the people who make the statements anyway.  I do think platforms should do their best to censor that, and platforms should have the right to censor as they see fit.  If people don’t like the censorship policies of a platform they should use another one.]
