Because why? Because MUH FREEDUMS? Wait... doesn't the hosting organizations in all of these (absurd) examples have MUH FREEDUMS too? Could you make your point without the demeaning regional sound effects intended to paint libertarians as backward illiterates? This has been going on for quite some ...

Parler is dead if AWS decides to tear up the hosting contract. It's in Bezos' hands.

People can't have it both ways... If you think that censorship by a private company of content on their platform is wrong, and their ability to censor should be limited in some way to honor "truth and beauty of individual expression (or whatever)", then you're essentially talking about a curtailment...

Buy the dip.

However, I don't need the money for a few years, I have way too much cash already, and I'm full up with stocks, bonds, BITCOIN, miners, silver... so gold it is. I guess if I had a hole elsewhere in my allocation I might not be buying gold.

I'm on Coinbase. They let me put my coins in deep(er) vault storage storage. 1. two approvers to take coins out 2. 48 hour wait period, and you get emailed as the clock counts down 3. Coinbase lets me use the Yubico (or similar) hardware key which goes into a USB slot. No key - no access to the acco...
