Anyone looked at the three sample complaints?

7 upvotes, 2 upvotes, 5 upvotes.

For context, the post (I'm guessing he is a co-founder or some senior person at Parler) John Matze has 34,000 upvotes. These posts seem like bad or manufactured examples.

What prevents a competitor from sending a few people to post these things to eliminate competition?

Or worse. Who remembers Knew Knowledge faking Russian bots to smear a candidate as being backed by Russia? [1]

I write this as a muslim American. In my youth having a seasonal job in a well-known resort. I had a local guy come to me, called me a "camel jockey", "towel head" and told me if he sees me in the parking lot he'll take out his 357 and put one in my head. So I have faced some nasty racism. That said, I don't agree with Amazon removing Parler on the basis of these flimsy evidence.
