Dan Bongino: 'Monday looks good' for Parler to be back online

Parler, the social media platform that was forced offline by Amazon following the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, could be up and running again early next week, co-owner Dan Bongino told "Hannity" Thursday.

"We're shooting for Monday," said Bongino

I hope Parler makes a comeback. It seems Gab has taken hold.

[SeekAndFind]

Did Bongino, part owner of Parler, tell us exactly what the issue is with John Matze, the Parler CEO who got fired?

[David Chase]

Very good.
I like Parler’s format much more than GAB’s.

For me, GAB is difficult to navigate and it seems like the Q ANuts are taking the place over........

[Jonty30]

Basically, he ran against the will of the board. The board still wanted Parler to be a free-speech site, with only the basic decency standards being imposed. Matze wanted to align Parler’s speech policies with Big Tech.

The board then fired him.

Not only difficult to navigate, at times I have trouble even logging on.

RE: Matze wanted to align Parler’s speech policies with Big Tech.

Matze’s public posts don’t seem to show that he was aligned with Big Tech Policies. He gave me the impression that he was AGAINST their censorship of political expression, even criticizing Twitter’s outright ban of Trump.

Was that a facade?

[Jonty30]

I can only state what Bongino said. It could be that the pressure to get Parler online was causing Matze to want to compromise somewhat. He may have been looking for a middle ground to solve the issue.

[David Chase]

According to Bongino, Matze said one thing publicly but wanted something totally different out of the public eye.

Matze wanted to conform to Apple’s strict speech rules which are even worse than Twitter’s.

[Skywise]

And how do we know it’s not flipped? (Bongino says one thing in public but another in private)
“Paranoia strikes deep....”
We’ll find out soon enough

[Jonty30]

Yes, we will.

If they impose any standards, much beyond what FreeRepublic has, then we will know that they have been compromised.

I don’t think that Dan Bongino has much to lose, if the site becomes lost, because he only has about 1% ownership or something. It’s in his best interest to advocate for the freest speech site as possible and not blow sunshine up behind us.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

#9: "Matze wanted to conform to Apple's strict speech rules which are even worse than Twitter's."

There are some people who forget that Apple is a vendor of technology, and not a religion.

[David Chase]

Yep.

I think Matze is still shocked that the company he once worked for (Apple), his buddies did this to Parler or him.

But now he can be shocked on the outside looking in......

[9YearLurker]

That’s essentially Dan’s story. I am not sure yet what is the truth, since it doesn’t exactly align with Matze’s.

[9YearLurker]

Why does Apple even have/need speech rules?

[BurgessKoch]

I have tried Parler, Gab and Telegram as alternatives to Twitter. I like Telegram’s stability, simplicity and security ... if you want to try it here is a starter list of conservative addresses:

🇺🇸 President Trump - @real_DonaldJTrump
🇺🇸 Candace Owens - @CandaceOwens
🇺🇸 Steven Crowder - @Steven_Crowder
🇺🇸 Donald Trump Jr - @TrumpJr
🇺🇸 Ben Shapiro - @realBenShapiro
🇺🇸 Dan Bongino - @DBongino
🇺🇸 Charlie Kirk - @CharlieKirk
🇺🇸 Students For Trump - @TrumpStudents
🇺🇸 Dylan Wheeler - @EducatingLiberals
🇺🇸 Dan Crenshaw - @DanCrenshaw
🇺🇸 PragerU - @Prager_U
🇺🇸 Turning Point USA - @TPUSA
🇺🇸 The Daily Wire - @realDailyWire

🇺🇸 Trump Supporters Channel - @TrumpChannel
🇺🇸 Trump Supporters Group - @Trump_Supporters
🇺🇸 Viral Polls - @ViralPolls

worth trying out IMO. I like it.

[Dr. Ursus]

Everyone but Crenshaw- he’s a YGL of the world economic forum in Davos. He’s a NWO.

[David Chase]

Hey! Thank you!

I was thinking about zipping over there to Telegram.

Great list! Thanks again.

[snippy_about_it]

You are right, we’ll find out soon enough. We will see how Parler behaves to posts. I like John and find it difficult to believe he wanted anything less than what Parler was.

[FreeReign]

And how do we know it’s not flipped? (Bongino says one thing in public but another in private) “Paranoia strikes deep....” We’ll find out soon enough

In my opinion Bongino has more credibility where as Matze is a relative unknown.

I would also add Rebekah Mercer's credibility.
