No one was up in arms when Twitter removed 125k Isis accounts. Deplatforming terrorists, and if you think there aren’t there then you willfully ignorant of what’s going on on that platform, is a legitimate action for any private citizen or company to undertake. This isn’t state censorship in any way.

Ignoring your TOS and not moderating terrorists is complicit action by the owners to get ahead of “but they aren’t all terrorists!”



Good point.

If ISIS made an App to communicate and organize, nobody will have a problem for it to be immediately removed.


Yet telegram wasn’t, and that’s exactly what they were doing.


Whatsapp ?


By the same logic used to bring down Parlor, Twitter itself should be shut down
