I would say take a good look at what is happening and ask yourself, would
they have made this choice if last week didnt happen? we already know they wouldnt. because they havent ever before. there has been a war at facebook and twitter about what they have been allowing for a while now. the public has completely turned and now they suddenly start banning? i dont even care because as you say, its a private business but they have been beating the drum of free speech in defense of themselves for years. now suddenly they dont believe in it?
i am far more concerned that parler has been dropped by everyone. to me that is textbook suppression of speech.
i am a free speech absolutist personally. there are the obvious cases that cant be allowed (fire in a crowded theatre and riling up a riotous mob), but suddenly removing an entire social media platform because its customers skew conservative should concern everyone
