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."

That’s a good idea.

I’ve been wondering about gathering with FRers (and any conservatives local) just to discuss what to do.

Gathering to “counter-virtue-signal” might be a great thing.

On radio, I heard a black man in Baltimore state that we should just start an impromptu protest by knocking on doors and bringing out the “majority good people” from the city marching in the streets.

So no voter ID to vote in an election, but you need a drivers license to send an internet message. BS.

That is exactly the same as Twitter.
How do you think Twitter identified President Trump, Rand Paul, Ted Cruz etc without some way of identifying them?
If you are six pack Joe that no one has heard of, you don’t need to show them sh*t.

“Twitter doesn’t make any sense for any conservative. Trump can move to Parler today and within a week, take most of his tweeter followers with him.”

Probably a majority to his “Twitter Followers” are not even members of twitter. When you figure that out then maybe things will make more sense to you.

He may move to Twitter before the elections. He said so himself in that Federalist interview couple of days ago. The operative word he used was “Maybe”.

Facebook and Twitter ask for exactly the same phone numbers as Twitter does no?

= = =

I think you mean as Parler does?

I have no idea about FB, as I have never registered.

Twitter did not require a phone number, when I signed up.

I got put in detention (for telling the truth about a lefty celeb) and they wanted my ph #, to reinstate.

I said, Nope.

Twitter have stopped doing blue ticks except for political candidates. They rely on outside entities to do it for them which I thought was strange...

Some teen was able to fool them with a fake profile:

(Yes I know its CNN but they give some insights into what the process is these days).

You are making zero sense.
We are talking about his Twitter followers.
Stop spreading disinformation

You can’t *follow* someone, on Twitter, without being a registered member of Twitter.

Whether joining Parler of not, stay at Twitter, if for no other reason than to flag abusive posts by liberals. Set yourself a target of X number of abuse reports for violence, fake news, personal attacks, etc. per day (you’ll soon find your only problem is deciding what NOT to flag). Do not go quiet into that good night...

For famous people like Trump, Prime Ministers, Presidents etc yes.
For ordinary people like you and me, you don't need id to join Facebook or Twitter or Parler or YouTube or social media.

those up set at parlors term of services should look at twitter....almost any term of service on the internet reads just as bad for those using the service and a lot of the terms of service are not supported by state laws because each state is difrent on what can be enforced in a contract and the terms are the same for everyone even in states where those terms would be thrown out by the court.

They won’t do anything with your email, don’t worry!

I came across this secure email service the other day...

http://www.protonmail.com

Facebook DOES ask for a phone number before registering you. That is FACT.
So what is the problem if Parler does the same? They are both social media no?

You don’t have to do any of that if you don’t want to be verified. I just joined a few days ago, and none of that is mandatory.
