Twitter stock is down over 6.5%, facebook is down 4.1%, Amazon is down 2.17%. When you are an over valued tech company, it is a bad idea to alienate half of your customer base. It will be interesting to see how their actions play out down the road.

You think half of the customer base is now alienated for these customers? These are global companies - most people that use them don't give two sheets about Trump or Parler and even if they do aren't going to stop posting pictures of cats or getting anything they want delivered within a day or so.

Right?! What an idiotic thing to claim. There’s a reason prices aren’t down 50%.

That is why CCP and Iran's leaders which actually cause widespread violence racism etc are being censored by twitter, facebook etc right?

Nice try, but that's a massive false equivalency to the political leadership of the American Democrats. I'm sure you're pretty hyped up on the whole concept of "THE LEFT" bringing socialism and cOmMuNisM to the U S of A too?

But while you're trying to play whataboutism tee ball here between an attempted government insurrection vs looting main street America , please provide proof of Democratic leadership saying the looting, vandalism and violence that transpired from some BLM protests were good. And provide proof of those same leaders calling for that kind of action before hand.

You can't, but there's plenty of communication linking Republican leaders to the events and goals of the events that transpired on Jan 6th.

^ lib idiots will believe anything they can imagine.

USA is the richest country in the world, as wealthy as the next 10 countries combined except China. And China has its own "Amazon" i.e. Alibaba.

Amazon's distribution infrastructure is built around getting massive volume of products costing more than $25 delivered free to its loyal domestic customers. It practically took over the US postal service to get it to deliver on Sunday. If they lose this base, they'll be competing with Alibaba for the international market.

Check out Alibaba - you may have to wait a bit longer but there's huge advantages including more listings and no pushing of "featured products" and obscuring of other ones.

The US has more total wealth than the entire continent of Europe, and more than ten times as much wealth as all of Latin America.

Twitter did Trump a huge favor by banning him this week. If he would have been out there tweeting every day he would have undoubtedly incriminated himself by now and made a much stronger case for his impeachment.

Funny how the same exact MSM doesn't and won't ask Biden or any other liberal those tough questions. They won't call out their lies. Pay attention and do better.

Cancel culture is scary stuff. It introduces very personal threat and will likely result in further division and violence. I get the left is loving spiking the football right now but just look at Ted Wheeler being confronted while out eating last week by radical leftists. Wheeler is nutso liberal but these monsters will eat their offspring. Maxine Waters encouraging people to confront people in public is key example of why this is happening. Coming to a town near you.

I call BS on this. The Left is much smarter than that. They tell us all of the time.

Is Alibaba actually good? Or is it "we're only gonna have 2600 cases at most" good?

The guy made a wrong prediction and you guys are relentless. How many wrong predictions has your savior Joe Biden made over the last 47 years of "service? " Probably at least 2600 don't you think?

When you don't have much of an argument to begin with, you start grasping at straws.

It was more than just wrong - it was embarrassingly, egregiously wrong, and it showed a lack of comprehension worth repeatedly pointing out.

So you do this with everyone? Or just with people on the other team?

Who else around here has been that far off about anything?

Do you remember what Fauci told the American people early on in pandemic? Hint: it was much more embarrassing and egregious.

1st amendment only applies to Federally mandated restrictions on free speech, of course. At the same time, is Amazon going to stop hosting all websites that espouse any type of speech they don't agree with? Will Twitter ban everyone who posts an offensive thought? Who exactly is going to monitor that? Who is going to judge what is and is not offensive? I agree that private businesses have every right to censor as they see fit. Local newspapers don't generally put porn in their daily columns. The question is if Amazon, FB, Twitter, etc are propaganda tools that allow only what they see as acceptable or are they agnostic platforms (like a printing press, not a newspaper) that can be used for whatever purpose the user wants? Banning Trump or Parler or anything else indicates they consider themselves the former, not the latter.

It was not, and more importantly Fauci doesn’t post here.

"No masks are needed. " So I was right, you only call out mistakes made by the other team. Got it.

It was not more egregiously wrong, and Fauci doesn’t post here.

This sounds like something Fauci would say
