Parler refused Trump demand to ban his critics: book
This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Omaha Steve (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).
Source: The Hill
Parler and former President Trump were in talks to get Trump on the platform, but they stalled after Parler refused to ban those who criticized the former president, Michael Wolffs book about Trumps last days in office says.
Trump and Parler had been in discussions even before the Capitol riot about the former president joining the platform, with Parler offering Trump 40 percent of the companys gross revenues to join, according to the book Landslide: The Final Days of the Trump Presidency, The Verge reported.
However, Trump reportedly also wanted Parler to be a place where he did not have to deal with his detractors.
They had floated a proposition that Trump, after he left office, become an active member of Parler, moving much of his social-media activity there from Twitter. In return, Trump would receive 40 percent of Parlers gross revenues and the service would ban anyone who spoke negatively about him, said an excerpt from the book published in New York Magazine. Parler was balking only at this last condition.

Donnie-boy is back to his old weedling/deedling acts. Get 40% of house collections, give nothing (or less than nothing) in return.
Why would parler agree to splitting income 60/40? It sounds like they couldn't live without the orange-anus name on their offerings. trumparler.
