Yes no rules, I want porn everywhere on social media.Social media is an absolute scourge on society, and I can safely say I am better for not subjecting myself to it. If you think it’s a coincidence that teen depression, anxiety, suicide, etc. are up in a corollary way with the rise of social media, I can’t help you.
With that said, if it’s going to exist, it needs to be unfiltered. Maybe actual, direct death threats? That’s about the only thing that should be taken down. Otherwise, let ‘er rip. If they continue to censor to the degree they are, it will die a death faster than anticipated. The thing about censorship is that it never knows an end. Sure, it’s mostly righties now. But when those people leave, they’ll come for you lefties, too. The progressives are never satiated.
It's almost as if, and bear with me here, it was never about freedom of speechI'm on record, I do not want Silicon Valley and the social media and data companies regulated. Even though they are my political enemy, I want them to maintain their freedom. I love Twitter, I think it's a genius platform, but it is run and influenced heavily by absolute radicals, and they have been caving to that pressure. I have been hoping like heck for a competing platform to arise, and confident that it would, the more the anger against Twitter grew.
Looks like that day has arrived with Parler? Yes, it is unfortunately going to start out as a conservative/libertarian bubble (not that i"m complaining). But I have joined and I recommend you do too. Not quite as slick as Twitter yet, but good enough. And as more people join, I'm sure the user experience will improve as well. I'd love it if it became widely popular and left wingers joined as well. Competition is good, and competition is the answer to most problems. I also use Duck Duck Go for web searches over Google, and never liked or much used Facebook, but Zuck seems to get the big picture more than these others and is for intellectual freedom. Amazon is an amazing company, maybe a little suspect, but I bet some major competitors will emerge in their space as well.
Anyway, off soap box. Link

The free speach site is already censoring posts...It's almost as if, and bear with me here, it was never about freedom of speech
Um, no.No other democratic, civilized, first-world country grants freedom of speech to its citizens, nearly in the way the US does.
Because they know the obvious truth: giving people that type of freedom is a cancer on society.
I quoted facts. They are correct.Um, no.
Massive identity theft scamParler users had to give their SSNs? LOL.
You joined a social media site (dumb move) that censors posts, which is what you hate (ironic).I'm on record, I do not want Silicon Valley and the social media and data companies regulated.

Great post. It’s scary how teen depression and suicides started spiking in 2009 when they all started getting phones.Social media is an absolute scourge on society, and I can safely say I am better for not subjecting myself to it.

I didn’t give them my SSN.You joined a social media site (dumb move) that censors posts, which is what you hate (ironic).
In order to join, you provided them with your SSN (extremely dumb).
You're batting 1.000 if you're playing Sh!t For Brains.
Its just accelerating evolution, something any good conservative/libertarian should love. Survival of the fittest...Great post. It’s scary how teen depression and suicides started spiking in 2009 when they all started getting phones.
You can't be serious. No worries....giving up that important personal information to stupid twitter where the sub-humans congregate is personally fine with deuce. Twitter is going to be sad when they realize that they aren't getting deuce's business anymore. Take that liberal hollywood.Parler users had to give their SSNs? LOL.
You all need an even MORE insulated Echo Chamber, so you can know even less and be that much dumber and misinformed than you already are.

I’m in favor of the free exchange of ideas. Feel free to take the other side of the argument.You all need an even MORE insulated Echo Chamber, so you can know even less and be that much dumber and misinformed than you already are. Great idea!
It is not helpful to mankind or society to be in an Echo Chamber. Parler is the OPPOSITE of free ideas, it minimizes political thought. That leads to division and instability.I’m in favor of the free exchange of ideas. Feel free to take the other side of the argument.
Nope. You are a trump toad.I’m in favor of the free exchange of ideas. Feel free to take the other side of the argument.
I’d rather Twitter stopped censoring conservatives. I’d rather that twitter came up with a single standard and set of rules and applied it equally.It is not helpful to mankind or society to be in an Echo Chamber. Parler is the OPPOSITE of free ideas, it minimizes political thought. That leads to division and instability.
The Enlightenment did not occur in an Echo Chamber.
No, but it is also helpful to be able to limit the worst, most awful kinds of "free" speech. Just as we limit the worst, most awful kinds of "free" markets.It is not helpful to mankind or society to be in an Echo Chamber. Parler is the OPPOSITE of free ideas, it minimizes political thought.

NOOO! Their safe spaces are crumbling.In news of completely unmoderated forums, 8kun seems to be on the way out, with it's owner deciding to retire to making furniture, kind of spoiling the Q experience. The storm did not hit.
