Actually they did. People were using facebook groups to post ISIS decapitations and recruit people. I even reported a few of these groups myself. Facebook never shut them down.

Remember those cases were Facebook was promoted to use violence and persecutions against religious minorities across the globe? And then after the investigations, Facebook just brushed it off as "oh, that, sorry we didn't know"?

Reddit was full on anti china rage exactly a year ago, so much so, that the moderators of the covid subgroups themselves started moderating it in a way that allowed for some objectivity one of the covid groups.

I guess the difference here is that Facebook, Twitter and Reddit who have been prospering with this poison are now at a point where they can no longer play the ignorance card, which is why they banned a certain individual.

The main contrast is that Parler's rhetoric is that they'll take all the discards from the other platforms.



Twitter and Facebook have both been banning a lot of ISIS-related accounts. https://www.reddit.com/r/news/comments/ku6jdx/amazon_to_drop...


On FB, ISIS groups that I was a member of years ago were deleted. Don't interpret that as me being or wanting to become a member of ISIS. I simply wanted to see what propaganda they were spreading, and measure for myself how it compared to the MSM portrayal of such.


I haven’t considered this. Thank you for your perspective.
