Probably, which is fine. In the end, it’s whatever. I have my computer games at the very least.

Per Tucker Carlson’s interview with the boss lady of Parler right now on Fox, Amazon is looking at denying Parler use of its servers and storage because “it appears to be inciting violence.”

Then Tucker made a side comment about there being a threat by someone, I didn’t catch the name, to take Fox off the air. I guess there will be some folks here cheering that possible government action because of how much they now hate Fox.

They will block sites - if they can figure your real world identity they will try and get you fired from your job, etc.

“You can download it at the site. I don’t believe you even need the app just go to the website and make an account”

Yes. This is techno-totalitarianism.

It is implemented in China. Starting in earnest here now. Today.

The web browser still works. The question is whether Amazon (AWS) will de-platform Parler. If they do then the site will stop functioning, at least until they migrate to another cloud provider. Will Larry Ellison (Oracle) come to the rescue ?

Amazon needs to stay neutral for their own safety. They have too many facilities and too many employees who they might endanger if the take a side against 75 million angry voters. I mean, all their trucks have their name on them and most of their distribution hubs are easily identified.

It just doesn’t seem smart for them to upset that many people.

Parler doesn’t need an app as long as it can get hosted on the Web. They need to be able to be there own host.

Tucker just said that CNN has openly called for the elimination of Fox News at a meeting this morning. Reason, Fox is leading the insurrection.

I just tried to log into my Parler - took awhile to get in. Couldn’t get my feed to load. But it’s chugging. Hopefully some advertisers/backers

Yes. Will they begin to block sites?

Who's "they"? Apple and Google have no ability to block web sites. But the hosting companies can be pressured to de-platform conservative websites, and credit card companies can be pressured to stop taking payments on behalf of conservative websites.

Conservatives have always been in favor of corporate rights as private businesses - the problem is that woke corporations now control digital communications and are going to shut down all dissenting points of view.

Not true, you can’t download Parler app at their website. They just point to Google App Store which has removed Parler.

But once they are installed only a DNS or a thwap by the Nazis will disable it.

“Who’s “they”? Apple and Google have no ability to block web sites.”

An update to Safari or Chrome can include predetermined blocked sites.
