I didn't know Parler before. I'm not American, and I'm definitely not a right-wing supporter. But that's not the same as Youtube/Facebook/Spotify tries to do? Good for ads and supporting their political agenda?

EDIT:

Wow: So many down-votes in less than a minute, without any comment.

interesting opinion from Glenn Greenwald:

"Do you know how many of the people arrested in connection with the Capitol invasion were active users of Parler?

Zero.

The planning was largely done on Facebook. This is all a bullshit pretext for silencing competitors on ideological grounds: just the start."

His statements are not backed by any evidence, so I don't know what to make of them. Nonetheless an interesting opinion by someone that has done some great things that certainly tickeled my curiosity, +1

Mr Greenwald is an activist.

everyone in some level is an activist.

I don't agree with everything that he does or says. However I'm sure he would be the last one to take the side of Parler or any other similar project.

I'm not really following the issue, but there is any evidence of the people involved in the Capitol invasion being active users on Parler?

As far as I know there is no direct connection yet between anybody arrested for the insurrection and Parler. There is also no direct evidence that they did not. However, it is extremely unlikely that none of them use it.

The people who planned the Jan 6 coup attempt used Parler. So the only way this happens is if they spend months planning the assault but then don't show up for it and a completely different set of people just happen to follow the plan by accident. This includes stuff like preparing and bringing molotov cocktails, pipe bombs, handcuffs, and flying across the country to participate.

i was reading about it, and they are almost using more than one social network and cross-posting through them.. I don ´t see Twitter or Facebook less responsible for the invasion than Parler.
