Whoops. Calling an editor.
Receiving reports that Parler is down, not long after Trump banned Twitter and a host of other accounts related to the armed insurrection at the Capitol on Wednesday.
Someone tell me if the TERs follow the rest of the CHUDs to parler, If that happens then I might consider rejoining twitter.
No promises though.
Reports are that Trump set up Parler account this afternoon.
Google has apparently decided to not even bother with the 24 hour formality.
Considering how over emotional those racists get, have to wonder how many are raging themselves into a stroke?
Something like this old meme:
Oh, but would he ever like to do that right about now.
Fixed. Thanks
Yup, just checked and it gone.
Interestingly Google suggested apps for OANN, The Epoch Times, and Rush Limbaugh. What a surprise
There’s absolutely a mad-scramble ass-covering going on all over Silicon Valley right now. This definitely isn’t any sort of genuine come-to-Jesus, good-faith enforcement effort.
Agreed. But I’m enjoying it nonetheless.
I reckon Parler crashed 'cause everyone’s anticipating the God-Emperor setting up his first account there.
As for Twitter banning the Mango Mussolini, I can’t help but notice that they waited 'til Friday after 5 o’clock. Profiles in Courage!
So Parler has the choice of cracking down on the “free speech” and no longer being Parler, or not being on iOS? This’ll be fun!
Many people on Parler are so pissed at him both after this week and some before (sMilo) - he may not get the reception there that he had hoped for.
And after the inauguration- he’s just a loser who is competing with them for grifting now.
If only they knew how to use a web browser…
Yeah, like this won’t fan the conspiracy theory flames even further…
Google has followed suit.
It doesn’t matter. MAGA chuds are immune to persuasion, so it’s a guaranteed waste of time to be influenced by what they do or don’t believe.
