If they buy a bunch of servers and host it themselves maybe. I'm not sure they have any other options

Yeah it looks like Parler is dead for now. Appears the closest competitor is 'Gab', which leans even more white supremacist and was used to plan the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting. After that event Gab lost its advertisers, servers, and lawyers (just like Parler) but now they are back up with their own hardware. Some 'very fine people' over there making plans together.

Yet another reason to abandon Section 230 protections...

I have a very direct motivation to abandon section 230 protections. There are a number of “sewers” in higher ed that are protected from action by this section.

I'd like to hear more about this.

Imagine places where almost anything can be posted about someone, but because the posters are anonymous and the site is protected by 230, there is zero recourse for the person being attacked.

Like specifically though. It does interest me.

I think iglu is referring to rate my prof or whatever. Is that what your talking about? Cause I honestly never thought of that. I have however thought about Yelps shit tactics and I do not use them because of it.

Yeah, SteveM's got a beef, and it would be nice to get more than just the clickbait headlines.

Yelps shit tactics?

There’s an entire reputation destruction without recourse industry that sells ads on these sites and makes money under the 230 protection.

Yelps shit tactics?

Yeah, they hold ratings hostage unless you advertise with them. IE you have negative ratings on your business and you can do nothing about it unless you advertise with them.
