    It has nothing to do with rules. Twitter is guilty of the same things they accused Parler of. This is a attack to silence us conservatives.
    Free speech is under attack by big tech giants who are biased. The censorship needs to stop.

    And yet, here you are posting this dribble. Doesn't seem like any censorship at all is holding you back.

    Don't violate the agreement you agreed to upon signing up and you will never be banned.
    Simple.

    What part of political attack do you not understand?

    The rules b's is just a excuse to remove Parler who was actually beating both Twitter and Facebook.

    this isn't about the world, it's about social media in the USA, which Political Forum is part of, most people that post here are American, with few exceptions

    You have not demonstrated that it was a political move on their part, and even if it was, it's still their right. They are only beholden to their shareholders. Better break that Piggy bank of yours.

    show me that post on twitter, not a snapshot of it, show me it was not removed, as that is a disgusting post and sure it would have been reported (if it's even real)

    It's a legal issue. All they see is a potential liability. Trump's insurrection was a bridge too far for them. Get over it!

    It's a tweet from 2017 I think and yes it may have been deleted. I should check that out sometime.

    'Beating' them how?

    Even a generous reading of user numbers has Parler at 10% of Twitter & 1% of Facebook. It doesn't even compete with FB, but if it did they literally wouldn't notice it. Being the most downloaded ap for a couple of days (literally, that is it) isn't remotely 'beating' social media giants.

    Let me guess, you saw a meme that told you what you wanted to hear and so you believed it without doing any background research. How am I doing? And, guessing again, this isn't the first or even second time you've done that, possibly in the last few weeks.

    False, twitter removes said accounts — Parler does not (Amazon did though lol)
    upload_2021-1-13_3-42-45.png

    Thank you for making the point that Twitter is equitable in their bans and it isn’t some vast left wing conspiracy to only shut down consecutive voices. Question though, why are so many conservative voices so extreme? Think it has something to do with the low information, easily disproven conspiracy theories y’all push as truth?

    Interesting, I hope you also read this from your source,

    Do U.S. election practices need improvement? They certainly do, in some states. But one of the safeguards in U.S. elections is that it is impossible to comprehensively rig what is essentially 50+ separate elections that are administered at the county level. Of course, in a close election rigging a few key counties can make a difference. But this election was not that close.

    Perhaps you will now accept the election was not stolen!

    Lol...only if you deserve it, like trump.
    But there are some who agree with you that we should unban trump and give him more rope to discredit himself and his cult.

    Twitter is not guilty of the same thing which is why you’re not showing any evidence of such.
    And again, you clearly don’t understand the 1st Amendment, which is frightening.

    According to data Parler was downloaded over 500,000 times from November 3rd to November 9th of last year per news sources.

    Parler had millions of people joining last year and this year it continued. I had many friends abandoning Facebook for Parler or Gab recently.

    Parler was the #1 app and yes it was putting a dent in Twitter and Facebook even without Trump as a member. Parler was giving Amazon $300,000 a month at the current user base. That's $3,600,000 a year. Amazon won't be getting that money anymore.

    With all of this attention and Parler being wrongfully terminated many conservatives who were not members will now be wanting to support Parler and free speech. Multiple users here just recently joined Parler.

    Parler was growing big and that did not look to stop any time soon. Parler found a new web host that also hosts for Gab so soon it will be back online and people will be able to download it again.

    This entire ordeal has shown how big tech are trying to controll the internet. The good thing is it made Parler more famous and it is helping to create a more conservative side to the internet.

    Liberals already controll the media, news and most of the teachers. They don't need to controll everything. This pre WW2 crap where conservatives are being treated as the worst people ever and everything conservative must go is getting crazy.

    Sure, private rules like who you bake cakes for. Rules are rules, eh?

    There was no TOS in writing regarding the baker. There is for companies like Apple and Google for allowing apps on their stores.

    In other words free speech is against the law.

    That is what it's coming to.
