Parler CEO John Matze: Matze conceded that the bans could put the company out of business while raising free speech issues, calling it “an assault on everybody.”
The debate on free speech on social media platforms is interesting. Some companies feel they have an obligation to police content. Others like Parler can make the argument that they are like internet service providers or telephone companies where they shouldn't have to moderate content and leave it up to the police authorities if someone breaks the law.
