Like I said, I think they are after amd will get a settlement. It’s a win win for Parler investors. I know Dan personally and it would work out really well for him

What will become of Parler?

no one's putting a gun to their head to get their news from social media, if i were twitter i'd tell the government to go fly a kite.
Unless they can get the case heard in a Circuit Court in Missouri, I don't see it happening.

Social media is a bunch of things - entertainment, community, soapbox, message conduit, idea exchange, and often it is a source of news.
Most days makes a couple of hours of news. In the old days that got consolidated into an hour or two and delivered to you by Walter Cronkite, Peter Jennings, David Brinkley, Peter Mansbridge etc. into a concise report of the days newsworthy events. The 24 hour news channel didn't make more news, they just made them stretch 2 hours of daily news to fill a 24 hour time slot -- basically they use news as fuel for opinion, panel and commentary entertainment. With a few exceptions mainstream media has a liberal bias which can make it difficult for Conservative politicians to reach the public directly through the press - their messages are often filtered, spun, convoluted and sometimes just buried.
Trump could reach the harder right through FOX, but not always the middle and left. That's why he depended so heavily on Twitter. While Twitter the company is self stated as liberal, it's users base has less bias, they are across the political spectrum. For the most part Twitter does not interfere with messaging the same way mainstream media does.

Nancy? Chuck?
Social media providers are middlemen....worse than that they can further filter news catering to a particular individual so that the individual stays longer on the social media site possibly generating more revenue for that site.
If I stick to a mainstream recognized media site, unless it’s at the fringes, I am my own filter. I prefer it that way so I get a reasonably honest viewpoint.
So is google news mainstream or social? Definitely elements of both.

google does news? Or are you referring to them just linking other sites?
News.google.xxx links to other sites but the links are curated to match your profile. Two different people searching for the same topic can get vastly different results (normally results that confirm your opinion).
I agree with you 100%. Zero argument.
If they filter and curate the stories you see they are the same as the others. I won’t pretend that any actual news site is perfect but as has been discussed here before, some are better than others.

It's perfect example . But were are dealing with politics of a country not a motorcycle website . The consequences here are really meaningless . But on the big three they can control outcomes of elections . Just like they did in the US .
I hope you read and comprehend .
How did the removal of Parler from app stores and their access to servers 2 weeks ago affect the outcome of the election?

It's not just about Parler . It filtering information you are allowed to see . FB and TWitter put fact checkers on any information about Biden . They suppressed a story from the NY TIMES about Biden son dealings with China .
This is the media you listen to last 4 years about Trumps corruption . You know the never happened pee tapes and collusion with Russia . 4 year attack on complete lies . But yet people still belive it because the tv told them so .
