Either way, the original statement is pretty idiotic but it is in no way comparable to what Trump did.
Amazon Web Services is going to ban Parler from using its servers because someone said "someone ought to show up at their data center with explosives." That, too, is merely a "desired outcome." To say that the GP post is "not comparable" is literally insane, as in, not rational thinking. The amount of moral deflection on this whole subject according to which side you favor is telling.
You're claiming Amazon took Parler down because of a tweet a single person made?
Ok. That isn't what happened, and if you're not going to be using actual reality for your discussion, why should we engage?
What people such as yourself often miss is that two people can do the same thing and have it not be at all equal. Think about two pets biting your hand. One is a kitten. The other is a 100lbs rottweiler that had been bred for dogfighting. Would the amount of damage done by each be the same? Would your response be the same? Of course not. So when Trump tweets something damaging to his tens of millions of followers, it's treated differently than when someone with 5 followers does it. Not only is the actual impact of the tweet less, but so few people saw the one with few followers that it probably wasn't even reported.
Which, incidentally, ties back to your ridiculous Parler theory. Amazon didn't bring it down because one person said something about Amazon on it.
