The FBI doesn't have backdoor access to Telegram. The founder fled Russia rather than hand over info over to Putin's people. He supposedly moves country every couple of weeks. I guess he's wary of those poisoned umbrellas.
Im sure they have quite a few people jumping on posing as Trump supporters who aren't too subtle about their plans. I could join right now given the large amount of people in my Facebook circle promoting it, and within 30 minutes could probably find 15 separate events or whatever you want to call it. That's why their efforts wont be successful to keep jumping platforms. The attack on the Capital wasn't exactly subtle. I knew about it from about a dozen sources, but was shocked that there was no national guard presence given even my dumba$$ knew about it.
Immediate outrage after Fox News host compares Parler going down to treatment of Jews in Germany Does that make the Ds the Nazis?
Wow. I did actually see a video last night of her talking to the CEO of Parler, and she was at least asking reporter-like questions of him, like what reasons were given to him by AWS/Google etc for halting services. It's just that, as expected, he didn't really give a real answer (certainly nothing akin to the truth, which was that they raised concerns over total lack of moderation and also coordination by hate groups), and dear Jeanine didn't press him on it at all. She just kinda took his non-answers at face value and played up the pity party on how big tech was killing a small company for no reason, and that it's because big tech is evil, they were censoring / taking away freedom of speech, and that big bad section 230 was also to blame. So, you know... the usual nonsense, not that downright offensive Kristallnacht garbage. My god though, the lack of knowledge and also blatant hypocrisy in these areas from conservative media is just too staggering for words though. I mean, section 230? Absolutely no one who knows anything about anything thinks ditching that is a good idea. It protects companies from liability from things third parties say on their websites. Social media practically couldn't exist anymore without it. E.g. it could potentially open up Twitter for liability for something Trump said, which just makes no sense given the nature of social media. Also, since when do Republicans want to remove liability shields from big corporations? I seem to remember them holding up stimulus to get liability shields for corporations to keep them from getting sued for mistreatment of workers during COVID. So to be clear, conservatives want to give corporations a pass on liability for endangering people's lives, but not for statements that random crazies make on their websites? That. Makes. No. Sense. At. All. They seem to think that 230 is what lets Twitter & Facebook fact-check and tag Trump's blatant lies, and that just simply isn't the case. And as many others have said, freedom of speech? What? These are private companies. It's no different from Fox preventing any liberal views from being heard on their network; if Twitter is "stifling freedom of speech", then Fox is too. But of course, neither is the case, because neither is a government entity. Unless of course, Fox is proposing a government takeover of Twitter. Then moderation potentially becomes a freedom of speech issue. But somehow I thought conservatives weren't into hostile government takeovers of private entities? Maybe I dreamed that! And, this is going back farther than practically anyone will care about, but before Trump was even president, he railed against Net Neutrality and call it the Fairness Doctrine for the internet. Except, it's not. But hey, if it was, then by extension that would mean its elimination by the Republican-controlled FCC would've handed editorial power over to suppress Trump's communications. I quite enjoy the perfect symmetry of that if you took for granted that Trump's assertion of NN being Fairness Doctrine were true (which, again, it's not).
Ironically, if they removed section 230, Parler would be criminally responsible for all the content on its site.
A friend of mine who is a cop posted “if big tech can shut down Parler, why can’t they shut down child p*rn”.... I just... how can people be this dumb?
Eric Feigl-Ding on Twitter: "Wow, a hacker has now archived 99.9% of all Parler data including riot videos and GPS locations—now more than 56 terabytes in size, @donk_enby says raw video includes GPS coordinates, which point to the locations of users when the videos were filmed. https://t.co/ZdXOzrgT6T" / Twitter
Send him a link about all the kiddy p*rn on Parler with the caption "they just did" and watch his head explode.
Was just off the top of my head stuff. And my assumptions was because I have never used or seen parler, so was just imagining it to be like Twitter.
Heh... a reminder I live in a really trumpy county... Montgomery County Pct. 4 Constable’s Office among Parler’s users https://www.yourconroenews.com/neig...cnfeeds&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
