Drawlines B&M: The Capital Under Attack, is Trump and Parler to blame?

Lots of news on this, the capitol building in America is under attack by Drumpf Supporters. If this isn’t one step closer to Hitler type situation I don’t know what is. But what is so amazing to me is how many people that are out there, blind as fuck!

Now am I going to talk about politics? Not entirely. This is more pointing to a social media website that just opened 2 years ago. What the fuck Parler? But before we get into the website let’s just talk about the pile of shit that was just bombed in America. It was your normal day. The politicians were twirling their mustaches as always trying to come up with other ways to mess with our emotions! Then a small group of Drumpf supporters just started building up till they got enough people to barge in there and… apparently take lots of shits and smear it all over the walls. Ya, that happened!

All jokes aside it was a scary movie. Trump did his usual thing, acted like a little baby and said “We’re going to walk down to the Capitol, and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women, and we’re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them, because you’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength, and you have to be strong.” then later said, ” I didn’t do it.” Don’t get me wrong, there are democrats that have also mentioned violence but the question you need to ask yourself is, when did our politicians start talking like Trump? Politicians are pressured by the people and their party to not look week cause they represent their state and their party.

Anywho, that’s my little thought on that but anyway. Let’s talk about Parler.com. The “new” social media that was apparently made for republicans? They opened up in August 2018 as an American alt-tech microblogging and social networking service. Parler markets itself as a free speech and unbiased alternative to mainstream social networks such as Twitter and Facebook. For those that own and control their business or personal websites, they know that Amazon has also, among other things, tapped their business into hosting websites called Amazon Web Services. Parler now finds itself virtually homeless on the internet as Amazon, Apple, and Google have all booted it from their platforms in a span of a little more than 24 hours.

Amazon said it would remove Parler from its cloud hosting service, Amazon Web Services, Sunday evening, effectively kicking it off of the public internet after mounting pressure from the public and Amazon employees. The decision, which went into force on Sunday at 11:59 p.m. Pacific time, will shut down Parler’s website and app until it can find a new hosting provider. Amazon Web Services said that in recent weeks it has reported 98 examples to Parler of “posts that clearly encourage and incite violence.” There are screenshots of several examples. The Parler website was not accessible early on Monday. BuzzFeed News was first to report the move. Parler is an alternative social network popular with conservatives and has been heavily used by supporters of President Donald Trump, including some who participated in Wednesday’s US Capitol unrest.

“We’ve seen a steady increase in this violent content on your website, all of which violates our terms,” Amazon Web Services wrote. “It’s clear that Parler does not have an effective process to comply with the Amazon Web Services terms of service.” The letter continued: “Amazon Web Services provides technology and services to customers across the political spectrum, and we continue to respect Parler’s right to determine for itself what content it will allow on its site. However, we cannot provide services to a customer that is unable to effectively identify and remove content that encourages or incites violence against others. Because Parler cannot comply with our terms of service and poses a very real risk to public safety, we plan to suspend Parler’s account.”

After Amazon boots the company from its web hosting service, Parler’s website could be offline for as long as a week while they look for a new web hosting service.

Matze said in a post on his platform. “We will try our best to move to a new provider right now as we have many competing for our business,” Matze continued. Matze accused Amazon of trying to “completely remove free speech off the internet.” Which again… makes no sense. The revelation of Amazon‘s decision came soon after Apple removed Parler from its app store.

“There is no place on our platform for threats of violence and illegal activity,” the iPhone maker said of its move. Apple notified Parler of its decision in a message that said it had violated the company’s app store terms. “The processes Parler has put in place to moderate or prevent the spread of dangerous and illegal content have proved insufficient,” Apple told Parler. “Specifically, we have continued to find direct threats of violence and calls to incite lawless action in violation of Guideline 1.1 – Safety – Objectionable Content.” Apple’s notice said Parler’s responses to an earlier warning were inadequate, including Parler’s defense that it had been taking violent rhetoric on its platform “very seriously for weeks” and that it had a moderation plan “for the time being,” according to Apple.

“Parler has not taken adequate measures to address the proliferation of these threats to people’s safety,” Apple said in a statement to CNN Business. “We have suspended Parler from the App Store until they resolve these issues.”

Apple’s decision followed a similar move by Google on Friday to drop Parler from the Google Play Store. Matze wrote in a message on his platform that Apple “will be banning Parler until we give up free speech, institute broad and invasive policies like Twitter and Facebook and we become a surveillance platform by pursuing guilt of those who use Parler before innocence.” “They claim it is due to violence on the platform,” Matze wrote of Apple, whom he also accused of being a “software monopoly,” a particularly relevant attack right now given an ongoing antitrust suit against Apple from Fortnite maker Epic Games. “The community disagrees as we hit number 1 on their store today.” Matze promised to share “more details about our next plans coming soon as we have many options.”
