    NZ privacy commissioner says social media bans on Trump 'arbitrary and cynical'

    Privacy commissioner John Edwards has criticised the Twitter and Facebook bans on President Trump, as “arbitrary and cynical” and described the social media platforms as “conflicted”.

    Edwards, who has strongly butted heads with social media platforms in the past, indicated that he believed bans should be subject to new laws, and left to regulators.

    “The Twitter and Facebook bans are arbitrary, cynical, unprincipled and further evidence that regulation of social media platforms is urgently required,” Edwards tweeted.

    “We should not be abdicating responsibility for the tough policy decisions required, and delegating responsibility for our community standards to conflicted corporates,” he said.

    Twitter said in a blog post on Saturday, New Zealand time, that it had permanently suspended Trump’s Twitter account, which had 88 million followers.

    Both Facebook and Twitter indicated their bans were prompted by a concern for public safety.
    Twitter explained that it believed two tweets from Trump risked inciting further violence.

    Those tweets stated that Trump would not attend president-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration on January 20 and said “patriots” who had voted for him would not be disrespected.

    We should not be abdicating responsibility for the tough policy decisions required, and delegating responsibility for our community standards to conflicted corporates.
    Twitter said it determined the two tweets were likely to inspire people to replicate Wednesday’s attack on the US Capitol building, which has been blamed for five deaths.

    “There are multiple indicators that they are being received and understood as encouragement to do so,” it said.
    ”Plans for future armed protests have already begun proliferating on and off-Twitter, including a proposed secondary attack on the US Capitol and state capitol buildings on January 17,” it also said in its explanation.

    Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg also said it had banned Trump from its platform at least until after Biden’s inauguration because the “risks of allowing the president to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great”.
    ”Over the last several years, we have allowed President Trump to use our platform consistent with our own rules, at times removing content or labelling his posts when they violate our policies,” Zuckerberg said.

    “We did this because we believe that the public has a right to the broadest possible access to political speech, even controversial speech.
    “But the current context is now fundamentally different, involving use of our platform to incite violent insurrection against a democratically elected government,” he said.

    Edwards said “much worse has been allowed, and is still present on both platforms” than the posts to which the two companies referred.
    ”I guess what I am saying is lawmakers should grasp the nettle and make rules for social media, rather than leaving it to each platform to set their own and police them, which they do [at the moment] very inconsistently,” he tweeted.
    Former National Party MP Brett Hudson contested Edwards’ opinion, saying he believed the bans were triggered by a breach of the social media firms’ terms and conditions, rather than being a question of “community standards” or freedom of speech, as such.
    “I don’t think the state should seek to set those specific rules. An accessible means to ensure the platforms’ policies are administered fairly and consistently seems attractive though,” he tweeted.

    How is the Facebook or Twitter ban any different to Teakdoor banning Smeg for being a stalking twat or XYZ posters for making continual pedo accusations!

    He was one of the leaders of the Charlottesville protest where ppl where killed . but he's not in the line of fire now because he disowned trump in 2017.

    It just shows that there is no rules of the road for twitter. So you are wrong

    You really are thick.
    Why would Twitter ban him for being a leader of a far right group ?
    All they care about is if you break their terms of service vis-a-vis their rules regarding post content.
    TD doesn't care about your politics or criminal record or associations but if you continually post family attacks or pedo accusations you could well find yourself on a time out.
    Same same Twitter.
    Stay within the rules and you'll be fine.
    They gave Trump A LOT of latitude because they felt it was important people hear what he had to say but he went a bridge too far.
    “If we stop testing right now we’d have very few cases, if any.” Donald J Trump.

    Trump threatened war a few times on Twitter and did break some rules that he should have been banned for 2 years ago. But jack dorsey, that narcissist poove, held it over all of his lefty friends and didn't ban him just because he could. Then now he pretends that this is the first time eva that trump broke a rule.

    Guy looks like he hasn't had a paying job for 25 years

    The big tech SJWs are in trouble now. Section 230 protects social media platforms from editorial liability. But the tech cartel banned Parler for not editorializing it's plantform. There's some big money behind Parler and now they are gearing up for a mega lawsuit that should be a slam dunk

    ...
    “If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.” ― George Washington
    “Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.”
    - Harry S. Truman
    “…the peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth; if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth produced by its collision with error.”
    - John Stuart Mill (20 May 1806 – 7 May 1873)

    The government is not silencing anymore, twit.

    Google has chosen not to allow parler on it's store. That's it. Parler is still free to offer free speech.
