Is it just me or is Rising having a lot of turnover?

Ppl should be outraged about any type of censorship.

The topic is Ye buying Parler, and all you can do is give us your weak take on his tweets.

Free speech is absolutely essential. If nothing else to know what people stand for

[timothyjohenkins]

Is what Kanye West said true? We never actually listen to people because people start name calling trying to shut people down before we hear them out

The irony of the Hill covering free speech

[tourist]

Is there one non reactionary liberal reporter out there?!

"Social Media is bad because it helps people organize." 🤡

I thought news hosts were supposed to be objective. These two just sat there, and chewed up on Kanye West.

[oshanewilliams]

I've never been a Kanye fan but I definitely support the man's right to voice his authentic opinion.

[xiaodaigu]

Wow, they got rid of Brianna and found a pro-big tech censorship lady!

[weverleywagstaff]

Jesus, STOP saying criticizing Israel is antisemetic!!!!

[jiggletown]

Lol, criticizing Jews is not anti-semitism.

[weverleywagstaff]

Ok, this lady is way too biased....blue no matter wat!

[christophergarcia]

No. J6 was NOT organized on Parler, they didn't even have a 'Group' feature on the app to create a group. The FBI even concluded that J6 was primarily organised on Facebook.

[tonyg]

Who cares? They should stop doing these celebrity stories and what they think.

[Sofa-king-great]

Did he lie or is the truth uncomfortable?

[reeseolive]

Can she produce the screenshots that she viewed? Even during the hype of J6, all I saw were twitter and FB posts. Never parler.

The problem with Americans and the rest of the West in general is entitlement. Freedom of association is every much a right as freedom of speech. You do not have a right to a platform. You do not have a right to an audience. You only have a right to speak freely without the imposition of the government. Kanye has not experienced legal ramifications for his speech, nor has anyone else’s. This is not a free speech violation, it is simply a consequence of his own stupidity. Anyone who doesn’t like the terms or conditions of these big tech social media companies can get off and choose a different platform and those who wish can follow them to that platform. That’s how freedom works. You don’t get to dictate to a business owner what they will allow.

Amneshia, Antisemitism *is* racism. Racism is not purely based on skin color.
