Parler was a bit more noble
Isn't Parler free?
-Mike "don't say was... yet..."
Sure, Parler was free for users. Running Parler was not. Someone was bankrolling it and I'm 100% sure they would have wanted a return on that investment at some point. There are some very angry rich people out there right now. |

There are some very angry rich people out there right now. I never used this Parler app, did it have ads? If not, maybe they were still growing the user base before coming with ways for monetization of the platform. In any case, user data is quickly becoming the new 21th century commodity. |

A good general rule to think of - if a website is free for use, (but especially if it asks for a lot of personal data) - YOU are the product.

No. Murdered people? Really? Where are these "facts" coming from? The murder (single) was done by a policeman.
Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, 42. You spoke in the plural. You also seem to have blamed hundreds of thousands of people for what one person did. My issue is not with the officer dying. My issue is with the broad brush endogenously used. Two is plural the last time I checked. You seem to be going out of your way denying what some Trump supporters did. As i pointed out, the murder of the veteran was committed by an LEO. Out of your way? That is not my modus operendi but yours.  |

https://www.theblaze.com/glenn-radio/parler-dan-bongino?rebelltitem=1#rebelltitem1"You have no idea how bad this was behind the scenes," Dan told Glenn. "I know you're probably thinking ... well, how much worse can the attack on Parler have gotten than three trillion-dollar companies — Amazon, Apple, and Google — all seemingly coordinated to remove your business from the face of the Earth? Well, behind the scenes, it's even worse. I mean, there are smear campaigns, pressure campaigns ... lawyers, bankers, everyone, to get this company ... wiped from the face of the earth. It's incredible." "I will go bankrupt. I will go absolutely destitute before I let this go," he said. "I have had some very scary moments in my life and they put horse blinders on me. I know what matters now. It's not money. It's not houses. It's none of that crap. It's this: the ability to exist in a free country, where you can express your ideas freely." Video with article also.

Another non-censoring social media app, Wimkin, was removed
from Apple and Google's app store today. I went to wimkin.com
to see what they had to say, this text is all that's left there:
Literally 2 minutes after Jason's Wall Street Journal interview and announcing
on Facebook that Google Play was removing our app, a massive DDOS attack
attempt came in. We are placing the site in maintenance mode while we
combat such. Please check back shortly. We'll announce when back online.
Thank you for your patience and support.
Thank you.
So, if you're not sure what that means, it means that cowardly "social
warriors" finished them off from the shadows after Apple and Google removed
the app from their stores...
-Mike

Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, 42. The guy was a Trump supporter and a vet do you have any proof that the one that hit him was from the ones that support Trump? What benefit would they have in hitting him, all they had to do was ask, and Brian even felt the same way all Trump supporters feel. Whether the officer was a Trump supporter or not, he was police and he was doing his job. The person who hit him with the fire extinguisher, whether a Trump supporter or not, should not have been there at all and deserves a murder charge and conviction, as well as criminal trespassing and any other thing they can find that is applicable and maybe some that are not. I am sure that some of the police who stood there, while cars and stores burned, while skinny little white girls screamed into the their faces, while getting pelted with frozen bottles of water and dodging flaming bottles of gasoline were actually Democrats. Cops are unionized and unions vote Democrat. But they stood there and took it because of severe mismanagement and poor judgement from Democrat mayors. They're ALL heroes, no matter who they vote for. They die doing their job. They don't stop and ask a perpetrator what their political views are, nor should they care. They're just caught in the middle all the time.  |

To have proof, you got investigate. To be able to investigate, you got preserve data. It is pretty simple.
And yet they impeached the President with absolutely NO investigation.  |

On evidence, that if introduced in a competent court of actual law, would have resulted in a directed verdict with dismissed case at the close of prosecution, for failing to state a competent case worthy of even going to any jury. But Kangaroo courts are known for this . |
