Why is dorsey posting about signal?

Parler was the #1 most downloaded free app as of yesterday. Amazon is shutting down their servers tonight and Apple/Google Play have delisted them from their platforms. He is happy that Parler is gone.

Vertical Monopolies. Companies no longer have to control entire sections of industry. They only have to align with similar sectors that have the same commie goals.

Even if Parler moves to new servers, guess who controls the Public DNS servers everyone relies on to be able to connect to the new server? If Parler.com doesn't resolve to an IP address, nobody can visit. Truly, three companies control all electronic communications in the modern age. We should have broken them up long ago.

And all three supported Obamas version of net neutrality. This was the most salient point to be made when arguing that net neutrality as it was proposed at the time was evil and each time I made the point to a leftist or layman, they said "but Google (DNS) and Amazon (backbone) would never align themselves with each other or another company."

The defense of that monumentally stupid suggestion was always faith and trust.

I'm sorry to say it doesn't. This is just the next level of censorship - the one they haven't reached yet. Could happen at any moment.

Yes - he hopes his shit platform might last a bit longer if the competition is nuked.

But nothing will save twitter when the only people left are purple-haired freaks eating each other.

The fact Tumblr's essentially dead and Twitter's stock started dropping makes me hopeful. Maybe we'll cripple the social media giant that's kept the world crazy for the past decade.

My question too, unless he wants everyone to think he is behind Signal...

Shouldn't we be concerned that big tech is backing Signal? Is it a honey pot?

It’s because Parler was the top app on the App Store until him and the big tech cabal colluded to have Apple boot them off. He is celebrating that it’s gone.

I'd imagine so. These fucks love watching and manipulating their users.

No their core privacy code is open source and legit. Anyone who works in technology like them because they are competent at what they do

It’s still open source you retard. You can quite literally read their code and build pipelines. You can also verify checksums on your phone along with many other features. I have read their core and it’s legit. Don’t believe me but do you really think Snowden would support them?

I really hope this conversation goes further...signal is part open source and part proprietary. I will look to see if they disclose which portions are open.
