Parler is trash. 100% controlled opposition.

That's it? How about some context. No offense, but I don't know you. Why would I believe a statement like that with zero explanation. Without context, it's fake news.

"Parler’s restrictive terms of service have taken fire from liberals mocking the site, who pointed out that the site’s unusual rules included requirements for users to pay for Parler’s legal fees if they were involved in a lawsuit against the site and a strange provision about how Parler would handle users’ Social Security numbers. Now conservatives have also started to criticize those same restrictions.

“Parler is not the free speech utopia that Trump allies hope for,” a Monday op-ed in the Washington Examiner warned."

For one thing - that awful boilerplate indemnification was replaced within a week of people raising the concern - it's doesn't exist anymore. Check the terms of service.

Parler doesn't take social security numbers. If you want to verify yourself as a human on there (optional), you load a selfie and a photo ID. All data except the selfie and the phone-number (authentication factor) are deleted.

And no, it's not speech anarchy on Parler. It's US Public Square Free Speech. If it's unlawful to yell or put on a sign in front of the street in the United States (not protected by the First Amendment) then it can be restricted on Parler.

It made the pr0n accounts purveyors Big Mad (TM).
