One thing that could be said for Standard Oil's John D. Rockefeller. Although he was a monopolist, he never openly gloated nor mocked the competitors that he suppressed or destroyed. The same cannot be said of the twenty-first century blatant monopolist, Jack Dorsey of Twitter. Not content to act in tandem with other social media monopolists in order to attempt to destroy his competitor, Parler, he rubbed salt in the wound he helped create by gloating about it with a mocking tweet.
Because Twitter permanently banned President Trump along with its general crackdown on free speech, many Twitter users have begun switching to Parler which for awhile made it the number one free app download.

Is this they guy with the nose ring who looks like an unkempt street person?
Proof that wealth doesn’t confer class or intelligence.
Makes you kind of think that they have sponsors in the intel world.
I’m sure the Dems will pass a Law ordering everyone to open a Twitter account for just $10 a month ,LOL
Jack like most of his millenial contemporaries is a schmuck.
The Reich these people create will be very different from what they expect.
Will not last very long either. Hope they enjoy their “win”.
Will my Parler account be restored in a week when they have new servers? Also we users should be allowed (and encouraged) to invest in the service.
Yes...was thinking. ..blowback is going to be a beotch
Rockefeller lived in America before it was fascist. Now that it is fascist the government establishes favored monopolies and crushes (or allows to be crushed) any competitors.
Dorsey has nothing to fear and he knows it.
All you have to do is look at Jacks eyes. That is a very lonely and unhappy man.
Btw, Parler has been removed from the Apple App store -
They are certainly feeling their oats. They seem to be way out over their skis.
Haw-haw, @jack!! You’re going out of business, very soon!!!!
RE: Monopolists of the past never acted as blatantly as do the greedy Social Media monopolists
HE KNOWS that he can now do this with impunity because there will be no one in government at this time to hold him accountable. He’s protected as long as his site serves as the propaganda arm of the party in power.
freedom of the press and freedom of speech, Palor should be protected by the constitution. Open and shut.
A system of government run by crony capitalist oligarchs in bed with dictators and with full government support for maintaining a monopoly is nothing new: Mussolini had one, and so did Hitler. It's called fascism.
Fatal mistake. Even the ‘rats will abandon Twitter because it’s a boring circle jerk.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Protected by the Constitution?
Have you not been paying attention?
Does he think those multi-State anti-trust suits are going to go away if Biden gets in office?
