In the days after the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, Big Tech moved against a conservative alternative social media platform, Parler, based on the premise that the rioters has used Parler to plan the attack on the Capitol and that Parler had failed in its responsibility to prevent such coordination. Based on this narrative, Apple and Google removed Parler from their app stores and Amazon removed Parler’s internet hosting. Yet on Thursday, Parler flipped the narrative on its head.
On Thursday, Parler sent a response to the House Committee on Oversight and Reform’s request for documents regarding the riot, the company explained in a press release. In that response, Parler revealed that it had “proactively developed an open line of communication with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in the fall of 2020 and referred violent content and incitement from Parler’s platform over 50 times before January 6th. Parler also warned the FBI about specific threats of violence being planned for the events at the Capitol on January 6th.”
The letter details Parler’s efforts “to flag and remove unlawful speech from its platform that was not protected by the First Amendment.” It also notes that of the 270 charging documents filed by the Department of Justice, 80 percent of social media references involved Big Tech platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. “Only 5% referred to Parler.”
The letter goes on to explain that Parler accumulated over 15 million users by January 2021 and its app was the most downloaded app at the Apple App Store and the Google U.S. Play Store on January 8, 2021.
The company’s press release connected the dots.

That is what the FBI does. It amazes me that people can make movies and TV shows with intricate details of official corruption, abuse, murder - and then be in complete meltdown at the suggestion that it is happening in real life. See Judas and the Black Messiah for just one such case.
And here I was led to believe that movie is just a white-wash of the Black Panthers (ruh roh) and a love note to Communism. Hard to get me to watch such. But I wouldn't put it past the Feds to infiltrate any group - especially when J. Edgar ran amok. Those poor Brownie Scouts never suspected the big one who toted maxi-pads.
I highly encourage the use of the “GAB” platform.
Amazing place.
Ha! Well it was just a movie - I couldn’t tell you whether the facts and scenes were what really happened. But the plot is they roped in a guy who was busted for car theft and using a fake FBI badge, basically coerced him (and paid him well) for infiltrating. Eventually they tried to get him to sell the Black Panthers various bombs, detonators, machine guns etc. But the local Panther leader would have none of it saying “if we bomb them, they sure as heck gonna bomb us a lot more”. The film did seem exaggerated but I suspect the general concept was right.
But that’s just one story. What the FBI did to Dr. King was atrocious. Who knows what role they may have played in Malcolm X’s assassination. What role did Hoover have in funneling cash to Nixon? And we all know what they did to Donald J. Trump.
The agency needs to be disbanded. It was never on the level imo.
I like Gab problem with these sites is normies don’t come. Without them we’re not changing any minds
All depends on who you call a “normie”.
It appears you mean the unwise/confused, for lack of a better description.
I believe they may very well stumble into Gab. And it is a good medium for information and idea sharing...without statist lockouts. Hopefully it continues to thrive.
Thank you. I hope you’re correct. I haven’t seen many on FR or Gab. It was the sites that pushed cats and music video watchers that we picked up a large number of new logical minded people.
