It's telling that didn't take it down. If things go really badly for that family I won't be surprised. Even the remaining Koch brother washed his hands of these people. So now it's their baby.
Did Parler have 74 million users planning murder? No, this isn't delegitimizing conservatives. It's delegitimizing people who are insane, and in this case many of these insane people happen to be conservative.
The message I was replying to (apparently deleted) implied that everyone who voted for Trump is in the same wagon, and Parler is illegitimate simply because it was funded by Trump voters.
I don't think it's wise to impugn an app or service because we find their investors unsavory along political lines.
If that's the case let's not forget Facebook is also funded by a Trump supporter and people live stream their mass shootings on there. It seems like many are feigning outrage over a subset of parler's users' actions when in reality what they don't like is that their political opponents have found an app or service that was seemingly immune from the whims of big tech.
It's funny that you mention the case of Facebook because if anything, one of the reasons it has abstained from moderating these overt displays of violance for so long is because many of these wealthy investors do not see it as favorable to their ideological interests.
Yes, the game was always about exploiting a segment of crazies for various means.
