So I have some disappointing news about the supposed "free speech" alternative to Twitter / FB called Parler (I've sure you've heard about it or use it by now).
Parler is actively censoring pro-Trump, anti-lockdown, anti-Biden news.
Anyone can test this easily.
Open up Parler and try to share this link:

This isn't the only one.
I became suspicious of Parler after some friends of mine were banned with no reason given and were ignored by Parler's support. I then found others who were banned and they said they raised alerts when they saw news stories and news sites suddenly being blocked by the app.
Why in the hell is Parler, who is targeting Trump voters and collecting millions of phone numbers, now secretly blocking news? Doesn't seem to fit their "free speech" message, does it?
Be suspicious.
iirc Parler was blocking some links to this site at one point in time too before the mass migration of Trump supporters to the platform.
They were blocking links to theDonald?
I never went to parler, so my memory is fuzzy, but yes parler was trying to fuck thedonald.win about a year ago by either blocking links or shadowbanning links or flagging the site as unsafe or something along those lines.
This is why when the mass migration to parler happened there were people on here complaining about how they already deleted their parler account and couldn't sign back up, since it requires a phone number.
