Pro-Trump Discussion Board Faces Possible Shutdown Over Violent, Racist Posts
The Wall Street Journal ^ | Jan. 16, 2021 | Ian Talley

Posted on 01/17/2021 5:48:14 PM PST by MinorityRepublican

An influential pro-Trump discussion board active in the buildup to the Jan. 6 Capitol attack faces the prospect of being shut down by its web-hosting company for allegedly fostering white supremacist and violent extremism.

Robert Davis, senior vice president of Epik Inc., told The Wall Street Journal his firm warned TheDonald.Win it might be dropped within days if it fails to better cull what he said are discussions glorifying violence, propagating white supremacy and fomenting extremism.

“They need to recognize the critical role they play as an inspirational place rather than a hotbed of extremism,” Mr. Davis said. “Epik has no tolerance for anything that incites hate or violence.” If the site didn’t fix the problem speedily, he added, “they’re gone from Epik and it will be hard for them to get service anywhere.”

They can't stop us now.

They are fools if they think they can get the truth about them back in the dirty barrel from which we had to retrieve it all.

2 days is just in time for inauguration day. They are trying to tear down communication for that day. It seems timed and Im worried what is in store at about that time.

A Democratic-Communist ex-friend of mine used to explain the Democratic-Communist double-standard to me as “we must hold ourselves to a higher standard.”

And Epik was seen as a savior a few days ago by Freepers.

Anything not glorifying Climate Change, the New Green Deal, endless illegal aliens, endless abortions, Black Power or Chinese Communism is seen as White Supremacy now.

Seems only the Epoch Times, with its servers in Hong Kong?, of all places, escapes Demonrat woke control.

This is silly. Obviously they are looking for a reason to shut Parler down again, and if a reason is not found it will be invented. They will probably ‘find’ a reason before Wednesday evening of this week.

How strange that no right wingers with deep pockets are beginning their own Social Media.
Nothing is going to change as long as these same biased sites have a deciding vote. Nothing at all.

“Where does BLM and Antifa post and why aren’t they shut down?”


Comrade, you cannot compare the ‘mostly peaceful’ protests of BLM and Antifa (more of an idea than a movement) that cost dozens of lives and 10s of millions of dollars in damage to the completely unjustified riots and attempted insurrection and assault on our democracy inspired by the cult leader, Donald Trump. The memory of the billowing smoke at the Capitol building will be seared into our collective memories for all time.

The all-wise uniter Sundowner Joe has told us not to even dare compare the two. You don’t want cross Joe. You won’t like him when you cross him. Ask Corn Pop.

To my mind that reads like a non-denial denial.
