President Donald Trump

[DMT]

Hey Trump voters, why so quiet?

[Sour Masher]

Twitter just banned Trump for good. I'd say yay, way over due, but this will just move him to Parler where the echo chamber of crazy will get more air tight. No flags there...he will continue to put forth his version of reality, fostering more misplaced outrage at conspiracies. The continued bifurcation of our media is not good for dialogue.

Still, this will undoubtedly significantly decrease his reach.

Hope so. He might prefer the trade off of half as many followers for complete, unfettered ability to say whatever he wants without moderation.

Well, Apple just gave Parler 24 hours to implement a moderation policy or it will be removed from its platform.

He's said whatever he wanted to for 3 years and some 50 weeks at this point. It too Twitter this long to finally ban him because he brought people into the tent...now that the possibility of being sued is starting to rear it's dead, all of the platforms are stepping back.

For real? I thought that was the extremist right making that claim.

Well you know I'm extremely right, but I never said that.....

Well, that’s mighty interesting.

Well, that’s mighty interesting.

The app has already been removed from the google app store.

That doesn’t surprise me as much. There’s an easy work around to the Google App. Access from an Apple device is trickier if they pull it from the App Store and someone wants to run it from an Apple device as an App.

Where it’ll get mighty interesting is whether Chrome will prevent access.

Do you frequent Parler? Do you use Chrome?

Has anybody else got firsthand experience with it?

You know a bit too much about that workaround........
