Let the recriminations begin! Parler CEO John Matze announced that the board has fired him as of Friday, not long after the social-media company got deplatformed by Google, Apple, and finally Amazon. Matze tells NPR that majority investor and conservative rainmaker Rebekah Mercer gave him the boot, and while he wasn’t given a specific reason, Matze says that a fundamental clash over Parler’s direction may have been the issue.
Democrats in the US Congress have urged major social media platforms to eliminate algorithms and recommendations that breed extremism and undermine the sense of “objective reality.”
Representatives Anna Eshoo and Tom Malinowski wrote letters demanding change to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey. A similar letter was sent to the CEO of Google, Sundar Pichai, and Susan Wojcicki, the CEO of YouTube, which is owned by Google.
You mean they could be even more biased & discriminatory?
Over the past several weeks I have been openly warning the Gab community to be on the lookout for fedposters and threats or encouragement of violence on Gab. This PSYOP campaign started back in early December with newly created accounts popping up out of nowhere and making threats of violence. We have zero tolerance for this behavior and it is absolutely not free speech.
This has always been our policy. We have thousands of volunteers, customers, and longtime community members who helped us stomp out this PSYOP campaign over the past several weeks and expose it. After this week, it’s clear why this PSYOP was started: to take down alt-tech platforms and frame them for the January 6th protests that ended with the police killing an unarmed woman.
Almost instantly after police allowed protestors into the Capitol the New York Times started a baseless narrative that this protest was organized on alt-tech sites, and in particular on Gab, without offering any proof, screenshots, usernames, or evidence to back these baseless claims. I’ve recorded a video highlighting how this all played out. I hope you’ll take some time to watch it to learn how the CIA Mockingbird Media complex operates. The way we fight back is with truth and by speaking truth to their power, which is quickly fading.
God bless you and God bless America

It isn’t just the censorship and bogus fact-checking that make Facebook and Twitter so awful.
…Since we began this process a few years ago and throughout our research period we have seen many companies rushing to market in our space. Each of these companies have the best of intentions trying to create a solution in this era of censorship and cancel culture. The biggest for these startups is that unless they understand the depths of big tech and have the right team in place to build an infrastructure they will all be reliant on competitor technology and always at risk for being shut down. Amazon AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure control the market when it comes to hosting. Unfortunately, all run their cloud technology through Chinese data centers….
Social(ist) Media finally has a serious competitor, and leftists are having a tantrum.
Here’s the latest endorsement for Parler:
“If somebody goes to Parler, they are saying, “I like crazy stuff.” -Bill Gates
Bad enough that leftists like Gates are all for banning those they disagree with, but now they’re targeting a platform that is the first truly viable alternative to the mess that Facebook and Twitter have made of themselves, for not being ban crazy.
