(CNN)An Arkansas police chief who posted calls for violence against Democrats on social media resigned from his job on Saturday.
Lang Holland, who was police chief of the roughly 1,300-person city of Marshall, Arkansas, drew outrage from both local residents and people around the country after making ominous comments online in recent days. In addition to repeatedly saying Democrats should be killed, he shared memes from conspiracy theory QAnon and claimed that the election was being stolen.
"Death to all Marxist Democrats," Holland posted on Parler, a new social media site popular with conservatives and used as an alternative to Twitter. "Take no prisoners leave no survivors!!"
One image he shared depicted a group of Democrats, including Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, wearing prison jumpsuits. Under the image he wrote: "I pray all those in that picture hang on the gallows and are drawn and quartered!!!! Anything less is not acceptable
The only thing that should be censored on social media websites is criminal or x rated material. Clearly Fakebook and Twitter are in bed with the left, as evidenced by all of their censoring of the right lately..They have absolutely no business being ‘fact checkers’.
..peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard..
..But you have to go home now. We have to have peace…

I know some really awful, controversial people have been banned from Twitter and that Twitter/Facebook have the audacity to fact check elected officials who are lying to the public but I'm still not seeing the liberal crackdown on conservative voices. Is Parler just a knee-jerk reaction?
Full Disclosure - I downloaded it last weekend. As soon as you join, the app asks you to connect to several conservative and far right people and news sources. The UI is not user friendly. But I have noticed some users actually pushing back on Trumps/GOP narrative and saying if you don't have evidence you need to STFU. I wonder how long they'll last on the platform. The Epoch Times is Right bias sure, but they also engage in misleading headlines, promote conspiracy theories and pseudoscience.
The Gateway Pundit shows up a lot and they are pretty damn extreme.
Also - how many of those new subscribers are Trolls? I just saw an article from The Blaze and it's chock full of anti-Trump people on there telling everyone that Trump lost, it's all fake news, get over it, etc....

Did you miss where they censored the NY Post an others over the Hunter Biden stuff? Its not their job to be "Factcheckers". Surprised you can't see the slippery slope with that.

I get your position and I certainly don't agree with ignoring some things instead of others. But also aren't they in the unique position to being able to hold our elected officials accountable? Trump is using their platforms to undermine the election.
Also - Hunter wasn't on the ballot. You can't say you care about the (alleged)corruption of one person when you willfully ignore the corruption of another.

I give it 12 hours after Trump is no longer President that he will be banned from Twitter (and probably every other major SM platforms) and moves over to a different platform. Will be interesting to see what Twitters stock price does in the comping weeks after that as he is singularly giving people a reason to follow him and thereby keeping people active on the platform.
In spirit of your full disclosure, I am not on Parler and it remains to be seen if I ever join (not on Twatter (Twitter) either) but both them and FB are censoring what is going on in their platforms (which is their right as a business) but not under section 230 that they operate on. Several groups on FB that I belong to have been heavily moderated for no reason that I can tell (only one was political and it was more satirical than anything) and in talking to mods of other FB groups they are saying that FB is making their life very, very difficult because one mistake (or too late in taking down a post) or if too many people report a post the entire group is hit. FB will wind up being a version of Craigslist and vagueness as nothing else will get pass the censorship.
I would have no problem if they are applying the rules evenly but it is pretty obvious (from my interactions and knowledge) that they are not. They may be trying to do the right thing (I doubt it but I will give them the benefit of the doubt) but if they are they shouldn't be using a sledgehammer to do it.
Not sure if you have heard of Project Veritas or not (believe they have been on the Joe Rogan show) and while I maintain a healthy dose of skepticism when it comes to their reporting but what they have shared when it comes to social media from former employees is interesting.

They are a private company - they can do what ever they please. Just like Gateway Pundit, OAN, Fox, RT are free to lie all they want.
If they want to be fact checkers, they can. And the Hunter Biden story was fake, so they WERE FACT-=CHECKING

Do we really know that the Hunter Biden story was fake? The information and sources were questionable but should it have been completely dismissed and ignored? There was definitely some smoke there and the reality that Joe Biden did nothing to prevent his son from profiting off his name and position does not speak well for his integrity or how he will allow people to benefit from access to him as the most powerful person in the world. As Ibanez has said, character matters and the Hunter stuff reflects poorly on Joe Biden's character.
The parallels between the Hunter story and Russia collusion are interesting. All it took for the Russia collusion hoax to gain traction and become newsworthy was for the US House or Representatives to legitimize it by using it to pursue impeachment.

Far more credible corruption stories involving Trump and his cronies (Like Turkey) have been swept under the rug.
You know that the main "source" for all of this has admitted he made it all up, right?
If you are so concerned about Hunter making money off of his name, you must be nuclear at all the cons and millions the Trump Spawn and Spawn-in-laws are making off the Trump name.

The sources are questionable but there is smoke there and Hunter is a Grade AAA sleazeball just like the Trump spawn. I find it ironic (psst - that's a nice way of saying hypocritical) when one side criticizes the ethical lapses of the other side's spawn while ignoring/rationalizing their side's.
Donks and Conks have devolved into elementary school children - "they're worse than we are", "they did it first", etc.
Grow up, develop and elect some real leaders instead of these pathetic old men with questionable character or arrogant activists who don't understand the world outside of their own little corner of it.

A sleazeball is a sleazeball, doesn't matter if they're a Park Ave sleazeball or a trailer park sleazeball. But go ahead and keep rationalizing that your sleazeballs aren't as bad as their sleazeballs.

Unfortunately, those who choose the candidates we can vote for are fine with the status quo and that isn't likely to change for a while
