It required phone number to sign up, requires account to see anything on that site. It's user agreement requires users to follow local laws (what about dissidents in China and Hong Kong? ). Even requires user to agree to pay their legal fees if the users posts leads (even indirectly? ) to lawsuit. Many more terms sound weird to me. Why so many influences and politicians on the right push hard for it? Why it's not banned and deplatformed like Gab (app store, hosting service, payment services) ? What do you guys think?

Requiring people to sign up before viewing posts is another bizarre decision. Basically, "Give us your phone number and email address, then we'll talk." Don't I even get to see the site and how it looks/feels/works first?

Agree. I think Parler is going to be a flash in the pan. This is not what anybody has been asking for. It's just pretending.
