The CEO literally was personally banning anyone who posted anything left-wing, and yet claims that he's for "free speech". It's laughable.

If he wasn't cynically cashing in, then he's not a very deep thinker either.

They literally welcomed pro-saudi comment farms to their service as well:

“The nationalist movement of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has made it known that big tech is censoring them at rates we have never experienced in the United States,” Parler wrote in a post on its own account on the site. “Let us welcome them as we all fight for our rights together.”

Reminder: Saudi crown prince, Mohammad bin Salman, ordered the assassination of a US journalist not that long ago. So, in a sense, Parler is really the social network of choice for dictators and extremists.

Parler is also financially backed by the Mercer family, who are conservative mega-donors and right wing political activists.

Saudi watanjies joining the fray? That's a complete tragicomedy now.

Twitter is also the service of choice of US Presidents who order drone strikes against innocents abroad.
