But that was not the whole point of Parler.

Google has taken parler off the android play store.

https://edition.cnn.com/2021/01/08/tech/parler-google-play-removed/index.html?utm_content=2021-01-09T01%3A31%3A18&utm_term=link&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twcnnbrk

I'm not sure how I feel about that. It seems like a bit much.

It really comes down to one thing Apple and Google will not allow on their platform.

Porn.

Facebook and Twitter outright ban it and have a strong moderation effort to keep it off their sites.

Parler doesn't.  Until they change that, they are going to remain banned.

Twitter does not outright ban porn. They do not ban porn at all, and do not have strong moderation efforts against it. You have Twitter mixed up with Tumblr. The only reason Tumblr banned porn was because Apple pulled the Tumblr app. Apple pulled the Tumblr app because Tumblr was infested with child porn. If you do not believe me about Twitter, Google "Twitter porn" and then click on any of the links. Even PornHub has a porn clips acct.

Parler is not banned for porn.

Yeah, I got those two mixed up.

It's a double standard for sure, but porn is certainly a part of why Parler is getting the ban. The threats of violence and hate speech is the other of course.

Parler is certainly more porn friendly than Twitter is.  That likely has both tech giants looking at them with a more critical eye.

I do not know why you think Parler is more porn friendly than Twitter, or that porn had anything to do with Apple and Google pulling their apps right now. Every article about it mentions inciting violence and the riots, none of them mention porn.

Parler is more porn friendly because Twitter requires that porn is marked as adult so users can block it.  Parler doesn't, and so it's harder to avoid on there.

Porn is a huge deal with both Apple and Google, there is no way they aren't taking that into consideration. Of course the news is focused on the riots, but being porn friendly isn't doing Parler any favors.

Ha, well that is just too funny then. I was looking at the posts in that profile and it was definitely on the loopy side. It's sort of easy to mistake "Kimberly Trump" saying crazy things for "Kimberly Guilfoyle" who is dating a Trump and says crazy things, and I definitely made that mental transposition as I was looking at it.
Yeah, I was wondering what provision in the constitution says that they can get a do-over if they can get 2 million names.

I'm not sure how I feel about that. It seems like a bit much.

I don't think Trump even uses Parler.

I do not think these big tech companies should have so much power over speech. I don't like where this is all going.

I for one see social media sites as private entities.  They are no different than a TV station.  They can and should be able to choose what is on their platform.  The problem is that people are using it more than anything else to express themselves and see others express themselves.  But if you ignore it, you just go back to a time before they existed.

Like, did the non-existence of twitter mean we had less freedom of speech?
All twitter and facebook does is let people find likeminded views easier.  Which, honestly, may part of the problem.

It's about time Facebook and Twitter were more heavy handed in moderating what's said on their platform too. And the trolls and bullies. The right to free speech doesn't entitle people to bully or spread misinformation. That goes for politicians too. They should not get any special status unless that status is holding them to account even more so than a pleb

It's interesting the things you support now... The baby steps that lead to terrible things of the future... The shifter of a few years ago would have some serious issues with the current shifter.

It's your right to be as you are, and I appreciate that. Just noticing the difference and question it with respect.

Fuck twitter and fuck facebook for banning trump. Btw the donald trump subreddit also got banned, and parler will get banned, soon.

I find it quite sad that nowdays people with different political views are getting banned and people are all okay with it. I also noticed that many people condemining the capitol-rioters are very extreme themselves, e.g. asking for life long sentences or death penalty for every one of the rioters.

Anyway let's be honest here, for twitter and facecrap this was only a PR-stunt because trump is pretty much at the end of his term. They'd never have done this after e.g. 2 years of donald trump as a president, because they would have lost way too much traffic then. Fucking hypocrites.

And to the people saying 'bUt thEy ArE pRivAte cOmpaNies, thEy caN bAn wHoEver tHeY wAnT' - well yes perhaps they are. But at this point, twitter and youtube are pretty much monopolies in their field. Banning a troll obviously is okay, but banning someone 'big' means taking their ability to speak to milions of people. This can have a major influence on public opinion, on elections etc. It is very obviously a breach of freedom of speech. It might be legal as of today (is it even?) but I'm sure this will change.

And to the Lorddave saying 'Like, did the non-existence of twitter mean we had less freedom of speech?' are you really that stupid or just trolling? It's obviously all relative. If person a and b both have the same means of reaching people then that's okay, but if only one of the person has access to reaching milions of people, that is a BIG problem.

It's also interesting how 5 people dying at the protests is such a HUUUUUUGE deal, yet 40000-5000 people per day due to covid is like 'meh, who cares'.
I guess it's true that a few people dying is a tragedy, yet thousands of people dying is merely a statistic.

I have always loathed social media and blame the decoupling of the fabric and cohesion of society in a large part on them. It gives too much vocal authority to trolls and dimwits and dilutes the worlds truth with so much falsehoods and shit

When Trump was elected I was happy 'the establishment' realised it was not a sure thing and maybe a 'regular guy' who had lots of his own money (or could get it) wouldn't need to be beholden to sponsors who got him there

But over time his constant lies, nepotism, corruption and utter incompetence along with the disgusting way he talks about his opponents, his own military, people who dont vote for him etc it wore my hood will I had for him

Is Joe Biden the guy who will bring about a utopia, hell no. But let's be honest. He's not a socialist and he's not 'far left'. He at least can bring some needed dignity to the office once again and put America back in the good books of its allies. Trump soured relations with many of them while he loved up to people like Putin and Kim Jong Un.

For example, I don't agree with how Mitch McConnell runs things (blocking for blocking sake) but at least he knows how to speak the right words and eloquently (even if they are hollow as he doesn't back them up with action). Like how he did after the siege on the capitol

I count myself as left on done things, a little right on others. In the world of politics I never give blind trust or loyalty. It had to be earned. And then it has to be worked on to keep it. I'll never rust on go along with whatever thd leader say. For example if I was a republican, I'd sure as shit wear a mask. I'd never buy into this 'stolen' election nonsense either. If the republicans actually took action on Trump I'd consider them redeemable. But even after this



Mike Pence, who had people prepared to execute him and hang him on a tree outside the building as a 'warning' to traitors, still backs Trump. It is mind boggling. Giving a free pass to a man who put pressure on officials to 'find' extra votes (rigging the election himself!) and when that failed he then riled up and incited a full blown insurrection using Americans he radicalised and led to the deaths of 5 people including 1 police officer. While he was having a viewing party watching it all unfold and denying the national guard to restore order

Trump is a contemptible fuck wit and this is his legacy now. He has polarised Americans so much he has made it a far more dangerous place to live. Americans pitted against fellow Americans based on the colour on who they vote for.

I'll not stand up or back a party which enables and backs a strongman dictator wannabe who is responsible for an insurrection and bloodshed. Remember the faux outrage to Hillary about Benghazi? These deaths are a direct result of Trumps sedition. Where is the republican voter outrage?

Seriously, Trump is the worst president in all of Americas history. The worst, without question. Republicans should just dump his arse and say 'he is not one of us!'

People with different political views do not get banned. Don't fall for the BS. People who incite violence or glorify violence do instead.

Not directly, sure.  But he's been making them madder and madder.

If I were to poke you over and over and over, poking you no matter where you go or what you do, just non-stop poking... Whose fault would it be if you punched me?
Answer: Mine.  Humans are not robots and we do have limits.  Trump is literally saying that the government is against him and the people.  The patriots.  He's not telling them to invade and kill, but he's making sure they want to.


Also, lets not forget: Trump has far more ways to reach millions than you and me.  Obama barely used twitter yet could spread his messages.  Trump just chose Twitter for whatever reason.  But he is far from silenced.  He has a god damn press pool following him around.  He could, at any moment, make a speech and tell his people to march on the supreme court and it would be on international news. 

So while he can't directly speak to 88 million people every thought in his head, he's not silenced.

Trump got banned from yelling on the street corner, not the public square.

It's hilarious watching Trump try and figure out how to post on Parler.

So far he posted the same thing three times in a row.

He's posting screenshots of him being quoted.   

I suspect the guy can't type more than a single sentence so he's reduced to this.

He looks like a moron even more on Parler.

Lets just skip this whole dance of yours.

No Trump didn't literally say the words "Murder police and rise up in armed insurrection and violently revolt!"

Yes he lied to his supporters that they could Win on the 6th if they were strong and went to the capital and whipped them into a frenzy with months of screaming that their votes were stolen and their victory taken from them.

He is still completely to blame.

CNN: Extremists intensify calls for violence ahead of Inauguration Day.
https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/08/us/online-extremism-inauguration-capitol-invs/index.html

(CNN)"Trump or war. Today. That simple."

"If you don't know how to shoot: You need to learn. NOW."

"we will storm the government buildings, kill cops, kill security guards, kill federal employees and agents, and demand a recount."

Great. A sequel. This threat seems poorly thought out. After they murder a bunch of cops and force a recount what happens when Joe Biden still wins? Do they just go ahead?

He’s been POTUS for the last 4 years.  The most powerful office in the world.  He’s got the whole house press team to get his views across.  When he’s called presidential addresses, the media have been obligated to report them in full.  His opinions haven’t just been heard, they’ve been written into law,, he’s set the country’s foreign policy, he made and broken international treaties, he’s authorized military action, he’s got his mates let out jail, changed the tax system to work in favour, etc, etc, etc, etc.

These no “Person B” in this scenario who somehow has more political influence just because they have an active Facebook account. 

What a joke.

Facebook and Twitter just decided they wouldn’t facilitate his deranged lies anymore. Trump never needed them in the first place, and frankly they should never been in the picture at all.

I find it quite sad that nowdays people with different political views are getting banned and people are all okay with it.

If you think encouraging armed rebellion is just a different political view, I don't know what to tell you.

Fuck Trump and his enablers.

CNN: Extremists intensify calls for violence ahead of Inauguration Day.
https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/08/us/online-extremism-inauguration-capitol-invs/index.html

(CNN)"Trump or war. Today. That simple."

"If you don't know how to shoot: You need to learn. NOW."

"we will storm the government buildings, kill cops, kill security guards, kill federal employees and agents, and demand a recount."

Great. A sequel. This threat seems poorly thought out. After they murder a bunch of cops and force a recount what happens when Joe Biden still wins? Do they just go ahead?

I've been thinking about what might happen between now and the 20th. This is going to be a nail biter.
I'm sorry. Am I to understand that when you have a boner you like to imagine punching the shit out of Tom Bishop? That's disgusting.

Perhaps I am out of the loop, but I don't think trump ever asked his supporters to attack the capitol or be violent?
Obviously you weren't at the rally earlier that day.
do you have a video from that rally?
Here's the whole thing:


Watched some of it now, he only says he expect his followers to walk over to the capitol peacfully to show their patrotism.

I think there's going to be a vote to impeach this Monday. It looks like it's more than just threats at this point.

And despite the very clear threats and risk to the lives of the senators inside including his own VP, he refused to call the national guard to restore order instead he was having a viewing 'party'. He incited this. He wanted them to succeed.
