Why don't these "patriots" see that? If Russia stumbles over themselves in a rush to provide this venue, that should offer a clue as to whether it's harmful or helpful to the US.
A racist, far right Russian company that loves pumping conspiracy stories.

I’m sure they’ll love the data harvesting too.

Criticism of Trump was always allowed.


Sorry to burst your bubble.
I am not on Parler and likely never will be, but that is why we need to protect their right to exist. The Mainstream Media and BigTech have used double standards to try and build an echo chamber where people are brainwashed into thinking Parler is all about worshipping Trump and committing insurrection. That literally hundreds of leftist riots are normal, but capitol hill was abnormal. Chaz was a summer of love.

We can't be sheep in a flock of BigTech.

TikTok is a racist pro CCP company and the CCP literally has concentration camps. They also loved data harvesting. Leftists were irate when Trump wanted something done about that.

Who also data harvests? FaceBook, Apple, Google, etc...

I don’t know why you guys think continually linking MAGA and Antifa together is doing your argument any favors.

No. From what I understand, unless it changed since yesterday, Parler now consists of a notice that they will be back, posted on a Russian server. You can’t actually access the site.

You can do that now, and Congress will not interfere.

You will still have to deal with the pushback from whatever you say coming from people who are not acting on the part of Congress, however. “Free Speech” does not mean you can say whatever you want without consequences.

All rights including those in the Amendments come conjoined with responsibilities.

Not any more. Twitter has been actively cleaning up its act. If anything slips past them, it is not intentional.

at that point...how could that be anything but insurrection and treason? It was disgusting.

LOL!

You mean like how BLM & Antifa & Schumer & Pelosi & Obama & Biden & Heels Up & De Blasio & Cuomo & every brainwashed liberal that voted for Biden holds America in such low regard that they want the country to be a version of a socialist/commie-light county? I wish they'd all get the hell out.
You didn’t address the actions of Trump’s Terrorists in the Capitol. Whaddaboutism is not a good reply.

Are you excusing insurrectionists who literally attacked America?

If the site is recreated whole, there will be loads of data, which I have heard includes copies of drivers’ licenses And SS #s.

The data a hacker harvested before Parler was shut down is what the FBI is using to track down the terrorists from the Capitol attack.

Yeah, anyone that uploads their drivers license and other personal info to parler is an idiot.
