Love Rudy. I don’t trust Parler though. I shouldn’t need to give my phone number to a social media site.

I get that. But two factor would be better. Authenticator for example. You should never tie anything real to social media in this age of cancel culture.

You’re going to hate their verification process then. Only reason I’m not verified yet.

This is the reason we can't have nice things.

Unless you're behind tor creating completely fake profiles the last 15 years google and Facebook and their affiliates already have all identifying information on you. Also unless you're 10 you probably participated in online shopping. The only thing this phone number thing do is prevent people from spamming fake profiles to troll.

With respect - I don’t trust them. That doesn’t mean you can’t. This argument, that you already give up loads of privacy, so what’s a bit more is dangerous.

I’m sure creating a space where you want to cut down on spam is not easy; but I’ll not personally get involved if I need to give up personal information first.

Glad to hear it. I’d rather avoid that!

You're okay letting google track you but a site that can potentially strengthen our community is no go? I respect your decision, it just doesn't make sense.

I personally hate social media. I only have fake facebook, and my google and other accounts have very vanilla posting history. I see no problem with the phone number, I just don't wish to tweet at all, otherwise I would sign up.

I actually don’t have any social media accounts. I had FB a solid decade ago; but it creeped me the hell out, so I deleted it.

As for the usual suspects, I do my best to simply not use them. I don’t touch Google services, and have every kind of ad and tracker blocking stuff I can get my hands on. I run my own network gear, have my own email server and am very conscious of privacy.

I know believing you have any privacy online is daft, but I do what I can within reason.

That makes more sense, as long you're taking active steps to protect your privacy then you're in your right to be leery. I just know that a lot of people hate migrating to new services and try to find any excuse not to.

Absolutely. I’m realistic. I know that if the CIA or somesuch wanted to know who I was and where I am, it wouldn’t take much effort; but if I can minimise my attack surface, then I’m away from the common trolls and cancel culture crazies.

That’s good enough for me!

It's comforting to know that Trump and his team remain confident. They must have some solid evidence in their pocket.

I bet Rudy and President Trump are laughing at how many maga supporters are letting the fake news media and SWAMP politicians drive them insane. They know they've won.

I wish he would phrase it like "democrats are screwed", so the message isn't contaminated by enthusiasm.

Guys, do you think Rudy will be interested to run in 2024? l mean, he's someone cut from the same cloth as Donald Trump, so l feel like he'd also want to drain the swamp.
