Uh, I don’t see the problem with the government threatening force in the case of serious lawbreaking. That’s one of the purposes of government. It’s not the same as a private person threatening violence.
“Did you do a search for Twatter?”
Must not look, must not look....
Parler. You can’t even read it without signing up and giving them your phone number?
And if they don’t share your personal data, why do they need it?
I don’t have a twitter acct, or a fb page. Busy enough without it and from what I’ve seen, there’s not a whole lot of protein in them.
FYI - I just watched Devin Nunes interviewing John Matze, CEO of Parler. Very cool. Guy is legit. Strong privacy, attacks bots, uses FCC as content guide (i.e., no porn, violence, etc). Big thing - YOU decide who can comment on your posts/domain, i.e., Mute the trolls.
They shed the phone number. Don’t get involved with local and geo-political, don’t censor.
He says he’s a big Thomas Sowell guy. Cool.
You can go to devinnunes.com and watch it or his podcast. Worth it. Just finished and the guy says they’re also going to allow Tipping where people can send a buck or whatever if they like someone’s post. I.e., he wants posters to be able to monetize their own content.
parler is the French verb for to speak
posted on the Project Veritas thread already, but worth posting here too, because TWITTER is mentioned. Lara is in PV FB video:

when I was checking Kontakos, I came up with other Cognizant people, which made me go searching the company:
30 Oct 2019: The Verge: A Facebook content moderation vendor is quitting the business after two Verge investigations
Moderators complained of filthy offices and severe mental health strain
By Casey Newton
Cognizant had hired thousands of moderators around the world to remove hate speech, terrorism, and other inappropriate content from platforms including Facebook, Google, and TWITTER...
Cognizant will honor its remaining contracts but will wind down its commitments over the course of 2020, the company said...
A follow-up report in June focused on a site in Tampa, FL, where moderators broke their non-disclosure agreements to describe a pattern of mistreatment by managers. They described working in offices that were often filthy, and where cases of sexual harassment had resulted in multiple complaints being filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
The Phoenix and Tampa sites will both close after March 1st, Facebook told The Verge in a statement...
Cognizant “makes up a small percentage of Facebook’s global content review efforts,” the spokesman said. Facebook said it would increase the number of moderators it has working at a site in Texas, which is operated by Genpact.
“One of the reasons we work with partners is to be able to make adjustments quickly to ensure Facebook remains safe for people,” the spokesman said. “Cognizant’s content reviewers have played a valuable role in keeping our platforms safe for people all over the world and we thank them for the work they’ve done and continue to do.”
