Even though i agree with you and, in this particular case I have a hard time sympathising with Parler. After recent events and posts calling for more violence and the response of the enforcement agency last time despite having known that MAGA goons would try to disrupt the vote, I cannot think of another solution than what the tech companies are doing. Just to provide context, this is coming from a person who strongly believes these tech companies must be broken down. The events at the capitol have made me angry and the fact that 70 million people support this is just disappointing.

Where do you get the information that 70mio people support capitol’s events? That sounds way too high.

What if we simply said that what tech companies are doing may be the right thing in this case, but it really shouldn't be up to them to decide.

IMO these actions are coming too late, which shows that Google, Apple, Amazon, etc aren't responsible enough to have this kind of control.

I think the exact opposite: it may be wrong (I don't think it is, but I think there is legitimate debate), but it absolutely should be up to them to decide the rules for their platforms.
