YouTube's top link to a livestream of Trump's remarks points to a channel called "Right Side Broadcasting," where the chat is filled with commenters claiming the election was stolen and praising "King" Trump. News outlets carrying the speech are below the fold. https://t.co/eAG50FS0ZM — PolitiTweet.org

Unfortunately, @GrahamBrookie tells me, deplatforming can have the cost of "hardening" the beliefs of existing conspiracy theorists. That's why waiting to deplatform malicious conspiracy theories until they've already metastasized can be so damaging. — PolitiTweet.org

Tech/telecom are drawing back on political donations in light of last week's violence. AT&T (CNN's owner) said it's stopping donations to US lawmakers who voted to object to certifying the 2020 election results. MSFT & GOOG have frozen $$ while they "assess" & "reassess." — PolitiTweet.org

Setting aside whether this is real, it is absolutely legal for an ISP to do this. One of the first things the FCC did after Trump took office was to repeal the agency's net neutrality rules. The old regulations said ISPs could not selectively block, slow or speed up websites. — PolitiTweet.org

Honestly, the antitrust complaint I was expecting was something more along the lines of what Epic has alleged — that Apple’s move to boot Parler from the iOS App Store is evidence of an unlawful Apple monopoly in app distribution. — PolitiTweet.org

Speaking as someone who covers antitrust often, it's not at all clear to me that the Section 1 claim will fly. Parler's claim of a conspiracy to restrain commerce seems to boil down to the fact that Twitter also uses AWS cloud hosting. — PolitiTweet.org

Parler has sued Amazon Web Services, alleging that being deplatformed will be Parler's "death knell" and that Amazon has (among other things) violated antitrust law by seeking to eliminate a "surging player" from the marketplace. https://t.co/5Lq4AuWXXg — PolitiTweet.org
