    If they refused service based on race, gender, sexual orientation etc, they would most certainly be sued for BIG bucks. As a matter of fact Amazon has been sued countless times.

    Practically every company has a policy against political propaganda, porn, threatening language etc, so why should Amazon be different?

    Amazon has shut down free speech. That's anti American. Bezos is acting as the United State Communist Party.

    You are cheering for the Chinese Communist Party. Suppression of free speech is an absolute requirement for totalitarian government.

    Do you think that Americans Companies should be forced to associate with brands that might damage their own? Can I force Trump Inc. to put
    BLM stores in their hotel lobbies?

    You are free to start up your own hosting company and put Parler on that. The Government is not preventing that.
    If the government OWNED hosting companies that prevented free speech, you would have an argument - right now, all you have is a rant.

    They will have to find someone else to sell their product. Why should other companies be forced to sell it?

    Again, you do not comprehend what the 1st amendment about free speech means.

    It does NOT mean private corporation are forced to allow people to push propaganda using their platform. That kind of thing happens is China, and did happen in Soviet Union, but not here in US.

    The government is enabling the suppression of free speech. That's what they do in Red China.

    Then I should be able to FORCE Fox News to give me air time, or the FCC is enabling Fox News to suppress my free speech. You really
    want to make that argument? Cause that's what you are doing.

    China would not hesitate to force Amazon to host Parler, or any other propaganda outlet.

    US.....not so much. We don't like that kind of government intrusion.

    You don't seem to realize what you are demanding

    Of course it happens here, and it's been going on ever since Clinton eliminated the regulations and allowed 6 corporations to buy up the medias and control what the people read and see. These corporations are mega donors to candidates for office, so what we have here is not a government controlled media, but rather what we have are corporations controlling both the government and the media.

    So who owns those corporation, because whoever does also owns our country.

    So, now de-regulation is a bad thing.........I am sorry to hear someone controls what you read and see. Is that where you get all the conspiracy theories?

    I know exactly what the first amendment is and I know that 230 is being used to censor free speech. The arguments used are documented above by the author of #Deleted.
