Google suspended the social media platform Parler on Friday from its Google Play app store until the “Twitter for conservatives” adopts content moderation policies following the attack on the U.S. Capitol by a mob of President Donald Trump supporters. Parler, founded in 2018, has found traction among conservative users looking for alternatives to more mainstream apps like Facebook and Twitter, which moderate content more rigorously. Parler has banned users for trolling conservatives but doesn’t have a formal set of moderation policies. “In order to protect user safety on Google Play,

Guess Parler was not a good alternative.
The President waited to long to attack big tech

It’s beginning to look like the total control moment is upon. Oh well, I didn’t want to think anyway. Bi.det is such a dear leader.

How frightened must the Left be of truth (and how deep must the corruption go) to attempt such silencing and canceling of First Amendment rights?

I'm not sure we are in America any longer, the big question is where do we go and how quick we should leave. Many of us are Jews now in the nature the late 30s.

It's not enough to squelch free speech on their own platforms. They will use their monopolistic app stores to force their free-speech competitors to do likewise. What is the game plan to resist this? Guessing Biden Administration will drop all the anti-trust suits against Big Tech come Jan 20. Perhaps a class-action lawsuit by all the people who've been squelched? Not sure. Not a lawyer. Just thinking out loud.

Cancel your Twitter and Facebook accounts. Twitter stock is already tanking. If 70+million cancel it will really crash.

Apparently Conservatives need to establish some alternate infrastructure, and quickly. A new platform is one step; but the Liberals will yank whatever layer is below that. They will progressively chase us to the boundary of their control, which means we can't stop until we have our own networks (internet and mobile).

They are frightened. Makes me wonder if something is going to be released in the next few days. The thing about information is that it always finds a way to be shared.

There's enough information out there that we know who the enemy is, what the enemy does, what their tactics are. When all this newfangled stuff is taken away, there are still streets and bullhorns. Social media makes us all lazy; we feel like we've done something. Preaching to myself here, but I won't stress over the loss of social media. I applaud the people getting in the faces of romney and lindsey; I imagine they feel like they've done something. I know they have.

RE #5 ET AL:
Yo don't need the app store or an app to access Parler. Simply type Parler into Bing or DuckDuckGo and find the site. Sign up or sign in. Easy peasy and no app needed

Who the hell does Google think it is? The arbiter of free speech? To hell with them.

Well, I've scrolled down through the Home Page and it seems clear: the information lockdown has begun. Enjoy your propaganda.

Google. Twitter, Facebook and the entire left media can now, under the Biden Administration, be recognized as the 'Government Media,' just like China, Russia, and Cuba's media.
