I guess Parlers lawyers are silencing them too

You clearly don't understand what a monopoly is.
It is illegal in the US to have a monopoly on any industry.
A monopoly is when you own enough of the industry that is virtually impossible for someone to compete.
There are always more lawyers to represent Parler. But if Android and Apple both ban Parler, Parler has no other way to reach people, and is effectively blocked from competing. Android and Apple together have a monopoly, and used their monopoly to silence people.
That is illegal. But no judge will take it, as we saw in the last election. The judges are scared of the left.

I was posting in jest. I agree that Google & Apple are monopolies, but Twitter & Amazon aren’t. More Americans watch Fox News than use Twitter

Don't you think that the fact that the people who've actually studied law don't think this case could win might imply another reason this won't make it to court. Or is every lawyer in the country also scared of the "left"?

The lawyers who don't want the case.

Stripe Inc. will no longer process payments for Pres. Trump’s campaign.

They were threatened.

And they can't find any lawyer who wants it? really, every controversial court case from the last 4 years was able to find a lawyer but in a case so clear-cut Parler can't!?

Where did you read they can't find any lawyers? All they said was that their long-time law firm dropped them. Nothing to do with the monopoly lawsuit; everything to do with the current political climate. They were threatened that no one would ever use them again.

The more of this that happens, the more the right will try and push for a boycott of leftist/D something (I’m not sure what) and it’ll escalate.

Banning Trump from Twitter/FB was once thing, what’s happened with Parler and other corporate attempts to cancel anyone seen as a Trump supporter is a completely different thing.

I'm sorry, I misread it. I take it back.

Umm... Android is open source. All you need is a new app store (and there are others... shh). You don't need a new operating system.

And if you would that would be an extremely nonsensical statement. Creating an operating system is hard. But re-writing all the apps would be the real hard part. You can't run android apps on a different OS.
