my only gripe in all of this is that Parler is not a publicly traded company.

the minute, the absolute minute, that i heard the words "Trump twitter account suspended" i googled "parler stock price" and then grabbed my phone for the Robinhood app.

sadly they're not a publicly traded company, yet. but for anyone looking to ride a meme wave then dump the stocks on some poor idiot who actually thinks that platform is a free speech bastion of the future that is investible, well just wait. as soon as trump, bannon, and any other idiots move there the company will have to take on investment, its stupid business not to. maybe even trump offers a buyout and then takes the task of going public on. its an almost guaranteed 1.5x short run ride as soon as it drops. buy it the minute u can.

It might not even last that long. Amazon is cutting ties so they're gonna have to find another host, and with all the news and the capitol riot I don't think anybody is gonna want to touch them with a 10 foot pole.

Blah, blah, blah.


/e Disagreeing is one thing, but total disregard for 5-7 months of pure animal savagery by the radical left, just makes me not care about what you say.

When you're rational again... we can discuss things.

LOL. if trump announces he is planning on moving there you're looking at a 100x signup rate overnight, someone will LOVE to touch that with a -9 inch pole.

the ad money is insane, even if they have to move to overseas servers. imagine how well that plays with the brand too, "no american corporations and big tech influence our platform. jeff bezos can suck it".


it's possible, and im not exaggerating, that we finally do see that promised fracture of conservative social media and ad buying. someone can for sure facilitate Patriot.org/shop/Trump2024 adbuys if google wont touch them, and the NRA and gun lobby will be happy to ditch google. good, let them build an island then cut down all of the trees Easter Island style.

I hadn't considered over-seas hosting as a viable alternative. True there are probably a ton of lesser known server farms that would be glad to host since nobody would likely even be able to track them down.

Reenactment of last night:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CDlBLvc3YE



Twitter banned Donald Trump's account permanently. He then proceeded to post on the @POTUS account, of which those tweets were deleted. He then moved over to the Trump campaign account, which was suspended. Another Trump campaign person's account was suspended as well for changing their name to "Donald J Trump".

Parler, the right-wing Twitter clone, has been banned from Google's app store. Apple has issued them a notice to abide by moderation standards or they will be banned from their store as well.

Steve Bannon's War Room channel has been pulled from YouTube.
