Buffalo_Gal Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Eye-Popping 500k Users Flock to Twitter Competitor After Twitter Shuts Down Pro-Trump Accounts A whopping 500,000 users signed up for social-media platform Parler after Twitter shut down two conservative accounts this week, according to user metrics obtained by Mediaite. The surge brings the two-year-old platform’s total number of users to 1.5 million, according to data provided by the company, an increase of 50 percent. The company, co-founded in 2018 by John Matze and Jared Thomson, bills itself as a “non-biased free speech” alternative to Twitter that applies broadcast standards to content its users publish — meaning it doesn’t censor political speech, but does prohibit certain content, such as hardcore pornography, that Twitter permits. </snip> 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a side note, who the ***** edited that article? There were at least two easily-spotted typos, and I wasn't even trying to proofread it.

Buffalo_Gal Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 I was going to quote the original post about the Feds + all 50 states AGs, but... I didn't want to spend an hour of my life looking for it. In any event, an update: U.S. and states' Google antitrust probe nears finish line The U.S. Justice Department is seeking the final documents to complete an antitrust investigation of Alphabet Inc’s Google (GOOGL.O), said three sources familiar with the probe, which is expected to end with a lawsuit this summer. State attorneys general have separate probes into Google, and the U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee has ongoing investigations into Google, Amazon.com Inc (AMZN.O), Facebook Inc (FB.O) and Apple Inc (AAPL.O). The department has requested information by the end of June from companies concerned about Google’s abuse of its advertising clout, as well as those with data that could be used to support a complaint against Google, the sources said, noting that the deadline could be extended. </snip> 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Gal Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Twitter I am adding the image since you can't see the warning here. The whole thread is people posting responses with the word oxygen in some context and getting slapped with a warning. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's important to have alternative platforms because the left owns the rest and are actively silencing us. Every time they cancel someone it's a warning to everyone else to stay in their lane. If we sit back passively and let them do it we deserve our fate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the opposite take in that he's refusing to capitulate to a small portion of his advertisers now to protect the future flow. Once you capitulate, you will be subject to the whims of future hot takes, and that revenue volatility is far worse to the investors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's signaling that he won't bow to the demands of the small percentage of advertisers now, because that will affect his revenue predictability in the future. If I'm an investor, I like that position much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took it to mean he wasn't going to change anything no matter how much his revenues plummet. 1-2% drop, who cares? 20-30% drop, that's a problem.
