"I downloaded Parler for IOS yesterday. Good to go."

I, also, did, but the payment demand by Parler of my identification via a telephone number made me decline to join.
At least they didn't ask for my SSNO... However, asking for a simple identifier now is how non-free speech begins...

I still have my originally issued SSN card...
Printed clearly on it is the statement that it can never be used for identification...
How long did that last?

Anonymous free speech is not free speech at all. If we don't have the guts to put our name behind our words, we might as well just stay silent. I had no issue giving Parler my identification. They ask for it to help ensure we are who we say we are. I believe even Free Republic requires you to identify yourself before you can set up an account here. It helps to keep the bots out.

Our Founding Fathers did not hide behind anonymity. They put it all out there, at the risk of being hanged by the British.

I held back because of the phone number request for months. But President Trump is gone and so time to move on.

I signed up and after previously trying my Google Voice number which wouldn’t go through, I gave my mobile.

Best in the fight!
