1/. Very disturbing

Parler has had a surge in users since the #Election2020

2/ "They always wanted to create a social network to collect data & disseminate propaganda. Now they have” @chrisinsilico (#CambridgeAnalytica whistleblower)
"Posts on Parler often contain far-right content, antisemitism, & conspiracy theories” @Wikipedia

3/ "To me the easiest fix is for every Conservative to kill two liberals."
Under the guise of free speech, Parler appears to be an uncensored space for libertarians, right-wingers, far-right wingers & conspiracy theorists of every description to come together & share their ideas

5/ “As Parler expanded in 2019, it was squarely focused on creating conditions that would challenge a section of the Communications Decency Act. The company’s purpose seems to be expressly political & aimed at eroding US social media firms.”
