Censorship

 This has gotten beyond ridiculous.  Since when do we allow the media and tech companies to control what we see, think, and say?  

<<Google has removed today Parler, a social media networking app . . . from the official Play Store. . .

"In order to protect user safety on Google Play, our longstanding policies require that apps displaying user-generated content have moderation policies and enforcement that removes egregious content like posts that incite violence," a Google spokesperson told ZDNet today.>>

Why is Google the arbiter of how user-generated content is "moderated"?  I seriously doubt that Snapchat is moderated. Isn't that available through the Play Store?
