That is if they are still a platform by Jan 21. Big talk from little screaming socialists. De-platform them... for good.

And enforce Sec. 230.... don’t break up the company so they can make more money from the stock splits.. Grind them down to nothing... devalue them. Same with g888888gle and farce book.

Who needs government censorship when private sector takes the initiative. What a country.

I have no idea why Trump has continued to stay on Twitter, allowing Dorsey’s band of angry children to censor him repeatedly. Dump Twitter - it’s a toxic hell-hole of woke idiots.

I don't understand why Trump doesn't move, with his millions of followers, to Parler. Why does he support Twitter with his presence? He could even stay on Twitter while phasing into Parler. I just don't understand the reluctance to support a true, free-speech alternative to Twitter. If he moves to Parler, Parler will overtake Twitter in a few years. Same thing with MeWe overtaking Facebook. Heck, Rumble could even rival Youtube in a few years if we work at it. We need to do more than complain about Twitter, Facebook, and the rest---we need to support the alternatives.

I say if this happens, Trump goes dark and disappears from twitter along with the great conservative minds with huge followings. Trump has 80 million followers, Biden 20 million.

Let the daily news cycle feed on Biden announcements!

May Trump be wise enough to already have set up an alternate platform able to handle 100 million users...to truly discuss issues
Parler and Gab are not user friendly enough for this

Dump Twatter. Go to Parler, Gab, etc.

I’ve never had a Twatter account and never will.

Trump moving to another platform, exclusively, would greatly hurt Twitter’s stock value. Next, the update to the law to hold Twitter responsible for what they allow to be posted would be the nail in its coffin.

Folks, I would make sure your investments do not include such companies in the not too distant future. Mutual funds and ETFs often have these in their portfolios.

Parler has recently improved quite a bit, but I agree, they need to step up their game if they want to take advantage of a Trump exodus.

His own political party
His own social media platform

The more they suppress him the easier the argument.

Better to fix Twitter than to leave it just yet.

Although Rush is a national treasure and irreplaceable, President Trump should ‘substitute’ for Rush, eventually replacing him when he retires.

Just imagine for a moment....Fabulous.
