Talking came back here on Monday with a new host who says he needs americans’ right to lose their speech.
While SkySilk “may not agree” with some content posted on Speak, the company believes that social media, which is popular with the far right, is taking the right steps to further moderate its platform, SkySilk CEO Kevin Matossian told NPR.
“We allow First Amendment rights to be prevented or limited,” he added.
AWS dropped the speech a few days after the uprising, saying questionable social media “poses a very genuine threat to public safety” and refused to remove content that incited violence.

In an to NPR, Matossian criticized the generation corporations that have severed their ties with Parler, saying: “SkySilk does not defend or tolerate hatred, but the right to personal trial and rejects the role of judge, jury and executioner . . .
“Unfortunately, many of our peer generation providers differ in their stance on this issue,” he added, calling his reaction “aggressive. “
“It’s not a SkySilk query that approves the message, but the messenger’s right to convey it,” he added.
The company would see Parler’s efforts to become a nonpartisan public square, he said, and welcomed Parler’s new community rules, which oppose discrimination and say the site does not deserve to be used as a tool for crimes or civil crimes.
Talk also said this would allow users to disable or block others, or comments that contain certain words, and place click filters on certain articles.
Although the site content would keep it at the “absolute minimum,” he said.
Insider reached out to Talk and SkySilk for comment.
As we move forward at capitol headquarters, Parler has a safe haven for far-right activities and incorrect information due to his lax stance on content moderation. During the riots, users applauded the protesters or called for more violence.
“There is no replacement without Bloodshed!” one user posted, while calling the violence “inevitable”.
“The time has come for the Patriots. C is our time. It’s time to get our country back. It’s time to regain our freedom,” Lin Wood, a pro-Trump lawyer, wrote in Talk.
Parler’s board of directors, headed by conservative megathpensist Rebekah Mercer, fired CHIEF John Matze in January, who said his dismissal in reaction to his pressure for stricter moderation of extremism and violence on the platform.
Mark Meckler, lawyer, political activist and founder of Tea Party Patriots, Matze as interim executive director.
