Parler Is a Trap. Stay away!

He tells how you need to give them a selfie and a drivers license scan in order to direct message.

They can delete anything anytime they want even without reason.

Account deletion by email only. And forced arbitration

Terms of service can be changed any time without notification to users.

If one of your posts leads to legal action against them then you agree to pay all legal fees.

They may have the right to use the information in the contact lists of your devices.

Then we have the obvious:

"Are millions of Conservatives being led into a new Conservative ghetto from which they will become completely invisible to the outside world?"

"It's brilliant if this was an actual strategy. Get the Conservatives to SILENCE themselves outside a bubble to promote 'free speech'."

"We retreat in the culture war into a silo where we all talk to people who already agree with us."

"Any Conservatives who retreated behind the Parler login wall and abandoned their accounts on this platform is now invisible for the upcoming election."

Do you know if Twitter makes any money on the number of hits it gets from people who click on links to it?

I doubt they would ban him, You never know.

But if they do then he can go to Parler. They banned Katie Hopkins who had 1 million follwers so they don’t seem to care about how ‘popular’you might be.

Also Parler is growing REALLY fast. Look at @RandPaul he has 400k followers and on twitter he has 2.8 million so 1/5th of his following on twitter which is unbelievable and shows you how quickly it is growing.

Imagine it in a few years.. Twitter are in serious trouble.

Barr is hinting at something against these social media platforms. I really don’t think that they should be able to advertise as being neutral while they are in fact working as part of the democrat election.

Does twitter even have adds? I block so I would never know. I have never seen one. How can they make money without adds?

No. As John Matze explained in Devin Nunes podcast where he interviews him, they only do that to verify that you are you IF you want them to. Same as Twitter’s blue check. There has to be some legit identification that @DevinNunes really IS Devin Nunes. Then they discard the image.

I trust Bongino. I don’t think he would have taken a monetary stake if it was shady.

I have tried to join Parlor 3 times and have been unsuccessful. It just hangs up with a “P” being formed on the screen.

Your either an idiot or a leftist working for Twitter. Just joined Parler and your article is full of lies. You don’t need to give them your drivers license. I am posting and never did any of that. Quit feeding the Twitter lies about Parler.

I am registered at Parler and I didn’t have to give them a photo or my driver’s license number.
Perhaps you could have checked there yourself before you posted this?

No, they do not. Nor do you have to give them a selfie.

Y'all are being played. This is misinformation, it's being shamelessly spread and swallowed whole. A Twitter thread as an authoritative source on a competitor? REALLY???

Trump, 2016. We recognized a need to drain the Swamp. We knew the media lied, we knew RAT politicians lied. What we hadn't seen before was the total ground to sky gaslighting campaign aimed at influencing opinion. The media campaign, politicians and DS bureaucrats alike, the special prosecutor/impeachment fiasco, online trolling, and would you believe...Coronavirus.

This is the headwind PT and his supporters have fought for the last four years.

We're being gaslighted.

So come on...show a little skepticism, please? People aren't going to Parler because they're being criticized on Twitter, they're going to Parler because they're being censored and banned. The people who are asked to verify their accounts are people like PT, Laura Loomer, etc who are names. It's worth it to them to ensure someone else isn't taking advantage of their name.

Parler is not the echo chamber, Twitter is becoming the echo chamber, by definition. It makes all the sense in the world for someone like PT to post on both sites. It's an FYI to Twitter, and a threat. Twitter decides if conservative viewpoints will be censored. If they decide to ban him during the fall, it hurts them more than him. People will flock to Parler to find out what Twitter didn't want them to see.

Somebody doesn't know for sure, but they heard...they saw this twitter thread...if you know less than before, or doubt what you know...if they offer no facts, only questions... that's a sign of gaslighting. If you have a question, do some research and find out for yourself.

I've seen other evidence that "parler" (pronounced "Par-Lay", apparently) is a scam.

Here's a video about Parler censoring a guy for a joke about Rubio, and where a guy explains what he thinks is going on.

You do not have to use SMS, they will verify by landline.

I thought I might sign up just to support the anti twitter-universe.
I don’t have twitter account...it would never last...I would end up in jail or dead.
FR is far enough, too many people want me dead.
