Also VOCL Frank by the pillow guy, except that it’s only his videos so far.
Lindell told The Daily Beast’s Zachary Petrizzo that he was waiting for approval for his social media application and wouldn’t say when exactly the platform would launch.
Approval from whom, the social media fairy?

What does anyone except his usual marks expect from anything the bears his name at this point? Shoddy, gaudy, broken, poorly researched and conceived, full of lies, doomed to be abandoned the moment the last possible penny can be squeezed from the suckers. You can talk about steaks, reality TV shows, board games, casino resorts, condo buildings, bottled water, or a presidential administration – it applies consistently.

These conservative-friendly social media sites never work out because (A) Facebook and Twitter are already run by extremist conservatives and (B) the only people who join Parler, Gettr, etc. are Trumpers, and Trumpers can’t enjoy social media unless they have a chance to OWN THE LIBS.

So, I wonder… will Twitter sue if the design is TOO close theirs? Dilution of brand/consumer confusion. sort of thing with trademarks?

I’d assume Apple and Google. I’d also assume that the app he submitted for review was so shoddy they would not approve it, or just looked for any technicality to deny it.

I don’t know about Apple, but Google’s application process is a pain in the ass, but mainly because it’s a poorly designed mishmash. I suppose they’ll have extra hoops to jump through because they collect user data (of course).

I can’t get over the fact that for the name of their app they chose the literal English translation of the the Russian word “Pravda”.
