Parler CEO Warns Against Big Tech Censoring Trump Election Speculation

The CEO of growing social media platform Parler warned Americans on CNBC about Big Tech’s Orwellian censorship against President Donald Trump that will continue right into election night.

During the November 2, edition of CNBC’s Squawk Box, co-anchor Joe Kernen asked Parler CEO John Matze about what Twitter will potentially do if Trump speculates an election win. Kernen asked: “If President Trump were to say something that Twitter didn’t like about the results” of “the election and whether he was winning or not, do you think Twitter, at that point, would decide ‘Okay, we’re finally going to censor?’” After Kernen conceded that Twitter has already “done it a little bit before,” he asked Matze: “[D]o you think they would decide: ‘We’re not going to publish that?’” Matze responded: “I think they would do it going forward.”

For extra measure, Matze warned that this kind of censorship would not just be exclusive to Twitter, and will be applied more generically across other Big Tech platforms.

It has not been as bad as I thought. Stories are posting on FB with hardly any fact checking that is not reasonable.

People’s Pundit will have good coverage on YT. Quite Frankly will be doing his show for a few hours on Quitefrankly.tv. Time to abandon the MSM and kick Chris Wallace in the ass.

Since you can’t see any parlez on Parler without registering, doesn’t really mean much for him to say that.

Closed shop, no competition for Twitter.

I worry about FR being attacked and unavailable. Is there a backup? Didn’t we use to use Facebook? I’m getting panicked and thinking of all possible problems.
