After years of being censored on Facebook and Twitter, conservatives, libertarians, and other fans of free speech are making a mass exodus to new platforms. One that has really taken off since the election is Parler, which has been the most downloaded app in the country over the past two weeks.
Unsurprisingly, the mainstream media and left-wing extremists are outraged. How dare the people who have been censored, deplatformed, and shut down on their social media sites move to a site that promises not to treat them like pariahs? (By the way, you can find me on Parler here: @daisyluther ) They go as far as to say it’s a “threat to democracy” because libertarians and conservatives get to post.
I mean, seriously, we can’t be letting conservatives and libertarians post their opinions all willy-nilly, right? What will happen without the “fact-checkers?”
Why on earth WOULDN’T people go to a different network?
Personally, I haven’t had access to my own Facebook pages for more than a year and won’t unless I send them photos of my passport, a utility bill, and other identifying information – because they didn’t think my driver’s license was sufficient. As well, I voluntarily archived my thriving preparedness groups because of the threat of losing both my groups, my own personal account, and the accounts of all my moderators if we let through a post of which Facebook disapproved. I wrote more about it here.
And remember when Twitter shut down Zero Hedge’s account for posting something about the coronavirus they deemed as misinformation that was later proven to be true? And how they put warnings on nearly anything the President posts? And how conservative and libertarian websites are being demonetized?
I invite you to try posting anything on standard social media that questions vaccines...

Leftists and Rats wouldn’t recognize democracy if it bit them on the a$$. To them, true democracy is like holy water to a vampire. This election is Exhibit A for evidence.
What they really mean is that Freedom is a “threat” to Fascism!
Leftist media does not work alone. Facebook and Twitter only exist through Conservatives being engaged. Once everyone leaves those two social media disasters, they will fold. PARLER and NEWSMAX!
To me the disadvantage of Parler is having my data stored in a foreign country.
OPPS... I just re-read their privacy policy. It clearly states: We process and store your information in the U.S. https://legal.parler.com/documents/privacypolicy.pdf
I thought they had a different agreement.
Exactly.I wish POTUS would fo to Parler and everyone here stop giving Twitter traffic=$$.
Right next to your ballot. ,
What they must think about the FR.
Parler is a horrible execution of a good idea. Twitter is much better, except for the censorship.
The liberals want to shut down any media voice that the Conservatives have.
Censorship that’s it? How about tunneling tons and tons of money into leftist causes and candidates that support everything that you hate as a conservative? You go to that site you give them nothing but money they use to fund the left.
I prefer Gab to Parler, but am fine with either.
I don’t use Facebook or twitter. I think conservatives who do so are betraying the cause and paying our enemies.
ZuckerGeek payed 400$ million to perpetrate this vote fraud in the inner cities thanks to people soliciting his censored and communist site.
I mean, seriously, we can’t be letting conservatives and libertarians post their opinions all willy-nilly, right? What will happen without the “fact-checkers?”
It seems that anything the MSM or the left disagrees with is a threat to democracy. Or racist.
They may be correct. Let’s hope so. long live the republic.
Translation: “Mainstream Media Thinks Parler Is A “Threat To their own lying rags.”
Our Republic stands for Life, Liberty, and freedom to Pursue Happiness.
On the other hand, when someone says "Our Democracy" it amounts to sleight-of-hand code for subjugation by society managers, straight-jacketed civil liberties, and personal expression only if it makes the social managers happy.
