I think youre missing my point. Thats the same reason Twitter and others did. THATS the "Oh noes were being repressed" nonsense comes from.

Parler is just Twitter with a new name thats trying to claim its a sanctuary for people......and then doing the same thing.

Who said negative publicity was a good thing? I have indeed checked them out and his haters are filled with assumptions and accusations, much like the Dem goosechase that’s turned up nothing in 4+ years and $40m+.
A POTUS attempting to overturn the results of our free and fair election is a danger to democracy. DJT's efforts such as a recorded call to the Sec of State in Georgia requesting "found votes" to save him from losing and the long litany of lies supporting his Big Lie and asking Pence to break the law to keep him in power over the voice of the people are indeed threats to democracy. Believing his Big Lie is the opinion. We all know who is holding the opinion that has no supporting evidence, and it isn't me.

DJT attempted to thwart democracy. DJT's danger to democracy has been proven. Thankfully for the USA and democracy there are a dwindling number of Americans who share your opinion and belief in the Big Lie.

Lol. Why wouldn’t people be happy with it? Why would you think a big platform is needed? He’s already getting attention from it. Folks will be begging to have it removed.

DJT's danger to democracy has been proven. He continues in his attempt to thwart democracy. There are a dwindling number of Americans who share your opinion and choose not to comprehend that fact.
Again, your opinion.

Again, any proof to your claims?

If that were the case you wouldn’t be trying to change folks opinions and thinking yours is the only one that counts.

Dude....isn't that exactly what Amazon said was their problem and why they dropped them? They didn't ban enough content??????? Was Amazon lying?

Obviously you have no clue whatsoever what Parler's business model is, so let me school you:

- On Parler, you are not a commodity that is followed around by an algorithm. Content is not blocked automatically.

- IF there is a problem that is flagged by other users of the community, Parler's reviewers will jump in and review the issue.....JUST LIKE IN THE REAL WORLD. You're presumed innocent and treated like a big boy without some automated nanny following you around.

Twitter bans people first, and asks questions later. And they monetize everyone with automated algorithms. That's why they make so many "mistakes" that they later have to correct.

Parler allows normal discourse until something is reported. Nothing is banned by algorithm. That doesn't mean that NOTHING will ever be banned on Parler...It means that they believe in modeling daily life in the USA with the presumption of innocence and privacy.

Also, you've just proven that pretty much no one gets banned from Parler...certainly not for their ideals.

See the difference?

I'd like to add that the TOS are all about censorship by Trump.

Although Save America has no obligation to do so, it reserves the right, and has absolute discretion, to remove, screen or edit any User Content posted or stored on the Sites at any time and for any reason without notice, and you are solely responsible for creating backup copies of and replacing any User Content you post or store on the Sites at your sole cost and expense. Any use of the Interactive Areas or other portions of the Sites in violation of the foregoing violates these Terms of Service and may result in, among other things, termination, or suspension of your rights to use the Interactive Areas and/or the Sites.

So he is only against censorship when it censors him???!!!!
Ahhh, you’re deflecting to because Trump versus what’s actually being said here about it.

It’s his site. Like Facebook, Twitter, etc..., doesn’t he have the right to TOS?

Helping out the FBI in keeping track of the domestic terrorist followers. It's a good thing.

If he followed the rules he'd be kicked off his own site!

From the TOS
User Content that is unlawful, libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, indecent, lewd, suggestive, harassing, discriminatory, threatening, invasive of privacy or publicity rights, abusive, inflammatory, fraudulent, deceptive or misleading;

For the moment he is the only one who is posting. How's that for censorship?
