You're a fricking moron. Parler having an entire CDN infrastructure doesn't mean dick if the two companies that control mobile phone apps ban your app.




I remember the days when there were no apps.

You can still join and participate at the www site. Don’t need a frickin app. But that’s probably beyond your comprehension.

I'm laughing that yall cant download an app outside an app store.

What percentage of the public do you think knows how to do this? It's certainly a form of censorship.

I haven’t used Cydia since high school and have no interest in jail breaking my phone, and I honestly never bothered to find a method outside of the App Store and jail breaking to install software onto an iPhone

You'd figure someone would be by now.

I'm not looking for it, but it doesn't seem like it would be hard to find. Parler should have an option on their website if they had any forethought.

Explain how you load an app on either a Google or Apple mobile device not using said company's App Store


That itself is an antitrust argument.

While technically correct, you completely ignore the fact the vast majority of social media is consumed via mobile device.

Mobile devices controlled by two companies. Both who are in lockstep politically. Along with the two other major cloud hosting services. Which puts any company who they deem "unworthy" at a massive competitive disadvantage.

Android is pretty much open source. Granted google doesn't have to support it per se, they can't really stop it.

Basically, what needs to happen now is for a new company to create mobile devices and its own search engine to allow conservatives a place to access their own news sources and social media sites.

We’re in civil war. There’s going to be blood. I cringe and mourn as I type this.

And your response completely ignores Apple. Which has no option to install apps outside of their store. Which is contemplating banning Parler.

But by all means, keep making excuses for the rampant censorship based on ideology simply because you happen to agree with the ideology.

A rational person would call bullshite on it. But you're a true believer so you agree with it.

If the ruling class were more tolerant, everyone can use the same social media platforms.

Remember when the left was all rage against the machine? Hard to do that when you are the big, intolerant machine.

Did you read headline? No, Microsoft and Apple and all phone providers are going to make sure you can’t have it. The tech companies and the Left are so fricking confident that the Right, Moderates, and Libertarians are just going to take this? They are flirting with the worst thing in American history quite frankly.

Reddit hosts pornography. A lot of it.

They are banning Parler but not the Reddit app.

This cannot happen. Over 90% (if not more) of cloud services are controlled by Microsoft, Google, and Amazon. They all think in lockstep.

Mobile apps are controlled by two companies, Apple and Google. They think in lockstep.

It's a cartel system the likes of which would have made Standard Oil proponents choke.

Dude. What cell service or wifi are you going to have in your zip? Forget the app.
