Seems Parler has a lot of attention recently:

He’s a writer of comedies, such as ”Father Ted" and "The IT Crowd".

Wish he'd write some more, the current stuff is pretty tame

More action has been taken against Donald Trump.

He and his supporters have had their forums shut down on Reddit for hate speech:

https://www.theguardian.com/technolo...ia-hate-speech

He has also been suspended from Twitch:

https://news.sky.com/story/donald-tr...forum-12017636

On a discussion on TV this morning it was said that support for him is haemorrhaging and it's speculated that he may 'mike drop' instead of standing for president again.

the_donald on reddit was shutdown by the mods 4 months ago only approved posters could post there. they knew what was coming, silicon valley is making sure Trump doesn't win again by removing his supporters.

the_donald has moved to its own site. https://thedonald.win/

HA! what do they know, a bunch of self important personalities far removed from reality :D

Trump supporters are still out there, and removing their access to some social media groups will only send them underground . . where the snooping/monitoring is probably far less.

America - the land of guns, free speech and violence . . . and some of those being 'hushed' will probably use two of those in future . . . it's the American mindset at work ;)

They probably wont need any help, it seems unlikely he will win again.
He sneaked in against the odds last time (with less actual votes) but hasnt done much to boost his position since then.
What they need is a decent alternative, and I think they will go for it.

A little boy who can hardly walk and who has epilepsy has been targetted by online trolls after trying to raise money . They even posted flashing images on the social media of the Epilepsy Society in order to try and trigger epileptic attacks:

The charity is calling for this behaviour to be criminalised under the Online Harm Bill:

https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/...palsy-19037854

It just goes to show what those wirh mobility problems & cognitive impairments still have to put up with day in, day out.
