“any platform can reject any customers, especially when they facilitate those advocating violence.”
IMO, there is merit to the idea that the internet should be considered a public good and there should be some protection that companies can’t be banished from the internet by Jeff Bezos snapping his fingers.
Amazon removing Parler from its servers isn’t the same as Fox rejecting an advertiser. Let’s also be honest and admit that the “advocating violence” standard is just an excuse as there is zero attempt to apply this standard to other social media companies and political/social ideas. One can be horrified and disgusted by what happened at the Capital, and Trump’s behavior surrounding it, and also call out this obvious double standard.
