BREAKING! Massive vehicle crash in Kentucky, unknown injuries.

So much for free speech on Parler.

Right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos has been banned from Parler from offensive jokes, despite the site claiming repeatedly to be pro-free speech.

Parler came back online for many users on Monday, after being kicked off of the internet and app stores by the Big Tech giants determined to shut the site down, claiming the conservative-oriented social media platform hosted violent content, and attempted to link Parler to the Capitol Hill protests on January 6th.

Eyebrows were raised when it was discovered that their new web hosting provider, SkySilk, bans undefined “hateful content” from being hosted by them, with SkySilk “reserving the right to refuse to provide service” to customers that host “racist, pornographic, hateful material or those which create customer service or abuse issues for us.”

The CEO of SkySilk, Kevin Matossian, said in a statement that they believed that Parler is “taking the necessary steps to better monitor its platform,” and applauded their new Community Guidelines, which provide a “double-filter” system for not-safe-for-work and “trolling” content.

After hearing about SkySilk’s regulations on “hateful” content, Milo Yiannopoulos, the right-wing provocateur, decided to stress test Parler and see what he could get away with on the site now with the new regulations.

Yiannopoulos, who is gay himself, posted statuses such as: “who wants to gay bash with me this weekend?”; “I mean this with all the Christian charity and compassion in the world – homosexuals should be hanged”; “death penalty for illegal immigrants when? I don’t get why we don’t shoot on sight,” among other edgy comments.

Houston police say a woman and a young girl died due to carbon monoxide poisoning after a car was left running in the garage to try to create heat when the power was out. The fire department was dispatched to the 8300 block of La Roche in southwest Houston for a welfare check around midnight. Upon making entry, authorities found two adults and two children apparently overcome with carbon monoxide poisoning. A woman and an 8-year-old girl did not survive. A man and a 7-year-old boy were taken to the hospital. The boy was last reported to be in critical condition. Authorities warn that cars, grills and generators should not be used in or near a building. On Monday, a family of six was rushed to the hospital with carbon monoxide poisoning. The Cy-Fair Fire Department said they were reportedly using a charcoal grill to heat their apartment unit.
