The @parlertakes account is a gold mine for it, if you're genuinely interested.



I'm not saying that there isn't violent content there. I'm sure there is, but there is also violent content on reddit, tik tok, twitter, facebook, and every other social media site that has ever existed.

My point is just: it seems like people are claiming that parler exists only for this content, or that they're somehow encouraging it or something. But I'm just curious how people came to this conclusion if none of us even have accounts there. I have seen some interviews with staff members there and they just seem like normal business-type people.

Amazon says this in the article:

> This is further demonstrated by the fact that you still have not taken down much of the content that we’ve sent you.

I suspect the other sites you cite tend to take down violent/illegal content when flagged by their providers, not leave it up.


I agree with you that the violent content is probably a very small fraction of the total content on Parler.

But, this is where much of the planning for violent events surrounding the inauguration is taking place. And Parler is refusing to remove violent content expeditiously.

What do you propose as the solution?
