Reddit, Discord, Shopify, TikTok and Snapchat have also imposed restrictions. Jennifer Palmieri, a political adviser for the Obama administration, remarked dryly on Twitter: “It has not escaped my attention that...

"The San Francisco Police Department is aware of the possibility of a demonstration...

Ok, I'm getting fed up with the internet and Windows. Windows not-so-much, but under WinXP, the versions of Firefox and Chrome I can run are pretty ancient and I either get hit by tons of ads or it gives me a time error and won't even let me in. So I have an older CD which is Knoppix 5.1 and I am trying to configure it to talk to my modem. If you have had experience with this and have hints/tips, please let me know! TIA!

How to Help 1) Tuesday come back to Parler . Com OR use the side loaded version of android OR use your already installed versions of Parler. (or maybe we will be back on the stores 😝) 2) Check your email and spam for messages from Parler 3) Call, write and email your congressman and senators and expose this anti-competitive behavior.

From J. Matze, Parler.Sunday (tomorrow) at midnight Amazon will be shutting off all of our servers in an attempt to completely remove free speech off the internet.
