> direct threats of violence and calls to incite lawless action

And we see that every single day on Facebook and Twitter. Its against their terms of service, just like its against Parler's.

As a single entity, I don't really give a shit about Parler. What I do give a shit about is treating everyone fairly. If Parler goes because it has a shitton of users and can't swiftly police all content, then Facebook needs to go because they have a child pornography problem.

Listen to this podcast if you want to learn just how widespread the issue is: https://samharris.org/podcasts/213-worst-epidemic/

I don't see how you can make the argument that child pornography is the same systemic risk as allowing people to openly plan to overthrow your democracy.

If child pornography is happening on your site, the FBI can come along and crack down, arrest those involved, and of course you're keeping logs to help them. If I plan a revolution on your site, the FBI are coming - not for me, for you. Once I'm in charge sure as shit you're not going to have the freedom to overthrow me the way I overhtrew you.
