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."

Your reading comprehension needs a Ton of work. As no one ever said you needed a drivers license scan to join.

It’s not what it’s cracked up to be. Tread carefully. La Brea looked tempting too.

“they’re being censored and banned.”

You just censored and banned your self as far as I am concerned. Unless you can give me a link where I can read anything you or anyone else said over there.

“Stop trolling.”

You seem a lot like a pied piper to me. And a conform or be cast out type of person. I would certainly be very leery of what you think.

Pretty much.
It's no use for conservatives to keep complaining about Twitter Facebook Google etc without doing anything about it.
It's got to be a multipronged attack on these Trump hating tech giants.
On the one hand, Barr and the DOJ are ready to go after them for anti trust violations.
Secondly their 230 immunity may be about to be taken away.
What we as conservatives can do is do a mass migration from all these dictatorial, anti conservative tech giants to free speech conservative alternatives.

Beginning to sound more & more like Parler is just the latest reincarnation of the famous Felix Dzerzhinsky strategy that saved the communist revolution from failure...

OTOH, from an earlier post:
The number one benefit of being among the first "million" American conservatives to join Parler?

If the communists do win this November, beginning on January 21, 2021 they will have another "clean" list to provide to the Collection Division of their new cabinet-level Thought Police Agency...

It is a definite fact that there are reasons that Parler will ask for a license scan. I concede that the article is most likely wrong about what those reasons are. It may only be if you want to have what is equivalent to a blue checkmark in twitter.

I agree. I stood up to be counted but I think I will leave visiting for a few months. Perhaps it will be a better experience after growing pains.

That apparent option ends if you need to reset your password. You must accept a SMS message.

Why do you have to reset your password? Can’t you remember it?

Actually I do remember it clearly because I was so annoyed that parler does not work with the Firefix password saver that I expressed myself when creating my password.
It doesn’t matter that I know my password, I can never sign in without having to generate a new password.

I got to 2000 subs on Twitter and then was banned for life for suggesting people defend themselves from rapists.

I was banned on Facebook for asking why someone was celebrating the birthday of a convicted terrorist.

There will be no real freedom on these platforms until Dorsey and Zuckerberg are attacked by the criminals and terrorists they defend.

I didn’t have a chose. I guess it might be that I refused to give my home phone number.

I’ve heard that Facebook routinely censors conservative speech, without telling the speaker his messages he sent were blocked and went nowhere, nor were seen by ANYONE.
