Mike Lindell, CEO of the company MyPillow, made headlines after being canceled on social media for supporting Donald Trump. His popular Made in America products were dropped by numerous retailers, including Walmart, Kohl’s, and Amazon. A change.org petition was even created to pressure the country’s biggest retail chains to stop selling MyPillow items.
Media bias and social-media Internet mobs have worked to tarnish Lindell’s reputation and his livelihood. The left-leaning platform, Twitter, has been known to censor speech and was the center of much of Lindell’s struggles.
Instead of working to get back onto platforms that have supported political bias in the media, he has decided to launch his own social-media outlet. The site is called FRANK. At frankspeech.com, the details of this upcoming social-media platform are already listed.
It clearly states, “Frank, the voice of free speech, will be the platform for Americans who want to defend life, liberty, and all the freedoms that have marked America as the longest running Constitutional Republic in the history of the world. On this platform you will find a home where you can post videos, livestream television, distribute news and information, and find community and fellowship with likeminded Americans. Frank will be a home for major influencers, to micro influencers, to average Americans wanting to share in the constitutional right of freedom of speech and freedom of expression. We hope you will join our community and let freedom ring.”
As with the websites Minds, Parler, and Gab, it already has a lot of people talking. Mike Lindell spoke about the site on the Eric Metaxas Radio Show this week.
His approach is straightforward. The need for more free speech outlets continues to grow as more and more people reject cancel culture and personal attacks that have long-lasting consequences for minor “offenses.” As Lindell put it, “All the crooked platforms, from Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo, Google, Wikipedia, LinkedIn: they’re all together and they’re all against free speech. Okay. What they’ve done is, all the influencers out there, anyone that has a voice, if you say the wrong thing ─ Bam! ─ you lose your livelihood.”
Also this week, an aid to former President Donald Trump, discussed Trump’s own plans to create a new social-media platform, stating, “It’s going to completely redefine the game.”
Social-media and Internet communications are always changing. Society has moved far from the days of Myspace, and with an ever-changing political climate, it’s no wonder so many people are looking for alternatives to the current options.
This is great and I ordered one of his pillows due to arrive in a few weeks. I bet they are bombarded with orders since Bannon is always advertising with a decent discount.
What happened to the First Amendment? The establishment clause?
I think it was Ray Kroc.
Time to buy some more MyPillow products
And they should be immediately censored, just like they do to us.
I've always questioned our principle that in order to be free we must also allow others to undermine freedom.
Yep, its common sense.. if someone undermines our freedom, we are no longer free.
I 5hjnk the correct terminology is “freedom with certain restrictions for the good of all, to attain the most freedom possible “
The minority though are now dictating eat freedom. Means, and thus attempting to deprive the majority of their fredoms
Probably not a popular opinion but social media has more to do with an addiction to dopamine associated with sharing, liking, and comments than it does dialog. Chemically social media creates drug addicts, with poor critical thinking skills, and short attention spans. The banning of groups and labeling of sides is just feeding the need to reach a peer consensus of an over socialized individual to validate their existence. The sad truth is there are more 100% uncensored social media, video sharing, image sharing, and message boards on the surface web and deep web then their are censored. They are just not necessarily as popular because you don’t want your dopamine hit to be ruined by someone with an opposing viewpoint, especially a logically expressed one. I like Lindell but he would probably be better off sticking to pillows and spreading the message of the Lord in a less mentally damaging format like his book.
Francine can post, too, but no Karen.
Hardware and software development.
Thanks ‘Orangeman. : ) luv it.
Exactly! If anyone can make it work Mike Lindell,(next year to be Senator Lindell)Mike can.This guy is the best of the best and many of us are behind him 110%.
The sad truth for you is that Mike Lindell is a winner and lots of other winners back him making sure he is a success at whatever he does. When you and your lackeys come after him we will be right there to come after you as well.
Watch FrankSpeech.com tomorrow morning. Mike Lindell is going to have “Absolute Interference” on.
