Re: Parler

Sometimes it's worth turning the issue around and looking at it right
up the...um, whatever.

A friend who is rather right-wing (tho mostly sane) said angrily that
AWS terminating Parler was "Stalinist" (apparently his metaphor for
totalitarian.)

I said no, the government _forcing_ AWS to carry Parler, or Twitter to
carry Trump (another 'plaint) would be "Stalinist".

Imagine if a Chinese social media company refused to carry anything
posted by Xi Jinping (China's president) for similar reasoning.

Then you'd likely, one can only speculate, see "Stalinist" in action.

P.S. Does anyone know whether Trump is paid for his Twitter traffic as
many celebrities are?
