The free speech social media platform Parler is calling for “Twexit” — a mass exodus of Twitter users — in its recently issued tech “Declaration of Independence” and “Bill of Rights,” in which it takes a stand against acts of censorship and data abuse by Silicon Valley giants like Twitter and Facebook.
Parler said this week that Silicon Valley “technofascism” is threatening Internet freedoms as companies crack down on speech they don’t like and engage in acts of censorship and blacklisting.
“Twitter long ceased to be a public square. They are now merely a publisher. And a bad, biased publisher at that,” the start-up company said in its “Declaration of Independence.” “They have become a tech tyrant, stepping on our freedoms to push their agenda driven narrative.”
Parler is calling for a “Twexit” — a mass exodus of Twitter users in protest of the company’s creeping authoritarianism.
Twitter has begun blocking and fact-checking President Donald Trump in recent weeks as his campaign gears up for the November elections. The social media giant recently banned Katie Hopkins, a British conservative commentator, from its platform.
Earlier this week, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) said a “low-level” Twitter employee called his office and threatened to permanently lock his account over his tweets related to the George Floyd riots.
“The tech tyrants have broken their promise of a public square. Instead, they censor us to push their own agenda driven narrative,” Parler said.
In its “Bill of Rights, ” Parler demands “an end to the tech tyrants abuses of power, their spying, privacy violations and dehumanization.”
“The internet must act as a true public square where all voices and perspectives are heard and respected. It’s time to exercise our rights and Twexit,” Jeffrey Wernick, a strategic investors in Parler, said in a statement.

Brad Parscale did mention Parler in that interview on Fox. Watch this space.
Thanks bitt.
i just joined. i’ll give it a chance.
It certainly has all right leaning folks listed to follow. i’m sure down the road liberals will infest it but at least what i say won’t be banned as hate speech like saying blm is a terrorist organization.
I had over 26,000 followers and quit a couple of weeks ago .
Congratulations. Do you feel better yet?
Hopefully they will really put a dent in Twitter.
That’s a great idea.
But I’ve noticed that some great ideas here never happen, which means some of the people around him aren’t the sharpest pencils in the drawer.
I hope this one comes to fruition
Sounds great to me, I hope President Trump switches to Parler. That would necessitate many others to switch too.
Whoops. Not going to go there but you seem well informed.
They’d better get their platform to work better with browsers like Firefox and Brave. Still buggy
You just gave a link to a porno site, It is parler.com.
bitt- Have you signed up for Parlor.com??
Trump can simply post links on Twitter to his Parler posts.
Gotta go to Parler to see them.
Dan Bongino is pushing Parler hard, he has bought an ownership stake.
He interviewed Trump 3 weeks back. I’m sure a Parler strategy came up, off mic.
