Liberal Activist Group Sleeping Giants Wants Apple, Google to Remove Parler
Because we all know leftists do nothing but express sweet and sugary words on social media.
A liberal censorship group that hunts down conservatives wants Apple and Google to remove Parler from their stores.
The group Sleeping Giants is similar to Media Matters. It started in 2016 when it demanded companies remove advertisements from Breitbart, but quickly slithered its way around to eliminate other conservative voices.
They don’t call out hypocrisy or double standards. They want to *litrally* censor and shut down conservatives.
Conservatives have fled Twitter for Parler. Therefore, Sleeping Giants is now targeting Parler.
Because we all know liberals never ever say such horrible things.
Yesterday, we asked @AppStore and @GooglePlay to enforce their own Terms of Service on Parler based on the sheer number of violent threats on the platform with #PullParler.
Look at the VERY CLEAR terms set by these two app stores below: https://t.co/SpPuSCUxy4

Over on @GooglePlay, the Terms of Service are even more clear, forbidding both violence and hate explicitly as well as harassment on any app distributed by the store.
Again, @google has created these rules *themselves*. They should enforce their own policies. #PullParler pic.twitter.com/vbXS0Fh6Mk

UPDATE: The calls for violence over on Parler are getting much, much worse.
There are now open calls for the murder of police officers and planning for violence on January 20th
This obviously severely violates the law, much less the @AppStore and @GooglePlay rules.#PullParler pic.twitter.com/jNyYhxbBNs

From CBS8 (emphasis mine):
“Words have meaning and calls for violence and incitement on these platforms creates real world problems. And that’s what we’re dealing with now,” said Matt Rivitz, Sleeping Giants Co-Founder.
He is part of an organization that helped create the Stop the Hate For Profit campaign persuading companies to stop buying online ads on social media platforms. He says social media platforms like Facebook and YouTube have relied on free speech.
“It brings in more ad dollars for them and more engagement. And what also brings in more engagement is hate and conspiracy theories and disinformation,” said Rivitz.
I am so glad that Rivitz made it clear through actions and words that the only speech he cares about is leftist speech.

No surprise. These efforts will continue. They will expand. They will get worse.
Comrades Beijing Biden and Heels-Up Harris will at best say nothing and at worse actively add their voices to the demands to silence ‘Trump supporters’. Where ‘Trump supporters’ = anyone who disgarees with the Left.
The GOPe will silently sit on their hands as the neo-Marxist Dems do all they can to silence, purge, and even imprison anyone standing in their way.
Over the next year we will have our own slow motion Tiananmen Square purge, Amerikan Style.
Exactly as predicted.
And all you cowardly fucks that whined about WELL IT WAS JUST PRIVATE COMPANY GO TO PARLER are going to be shocked.
They’ve told us EXACTLY WHAT THEY PLANNED TO DO the entire last year.
Just wait until they start arresting people.
Time to “antifa” that Communist Chinese front group.
http://www.gab.com who basically pisses on all of those Commie shit hooks. Owns his own servers. Site is worth a look. I’m subscribed.
Just wait. They’ll go after his domain registrar, his bandwidth provider, his payment processor, his bank, etc.
I had a attorney try to do that to me, I destroyed his practice over it. Now, that may no longer be possible. We have a loose noose on now.
Facebook had banned and has wiped away “Walk Away”.
This was a group of former Dems with half a million members. All traces have been removed from Facebook — Orwellian style.
Patriots need to STOP with the war imagery!
Which may not be just imagery.
It is the DEEP STATE encouraging the civil war
and war memes.
Soon anyone wearing a MAGA hat will be declared a ‘domestic terrorist’ by an illegitimate federal government.
Comrade Beijing Biden has already come close to this and he’s not even in office yet. He has also basically called Josh Hawley, a US Senator, a Nazi.
More like “open season”. Anyone seen by Star of David Patch?
And Antifa and BLM will be respected, or else.

Just in, a tweet from Sean Davis: “BREAKING: Apple is currently threatening to ban Parler — the free speech alternative to Twitter — unless the service enacts draconian censorship policies demanded by left-wing Big Tech oligarchs, according to two sources familiar with Apple’s threats.”

And all of the ‘conservatives’ that railed against even considering removing the protections for Big Tech because ‘you can just go to Parler’ are just shocked.
Quelle surprise at this move. *eyeroll*
Can’t wait for the pendulum to swing back the other way, and then they’ll have the temerity to have surprised Pikachu faces.
How the fuck do you think the ‘pendulum is going to swing’.
They just stole the presidency and 2 Senate seats.
They will never give up power again.
Maybe 3 senate seats (James in Michigan)
Just a idea 80 million Trump supporters, why not start a third party that would be numbers that would get dems. and 2 faced repubs. run our on candidates. cut funding to republican party fund our own party. the Dems. can not rig elections an steel all 50 states. Cut funding to Republican a you will get their attention also. What do you people think.
The purge is moving into overdrive.
Twitter has permanently banned the President of the United States.
Reporteredly tens of thousands of accounts are being banned across Twitter and Facebook.
Two monopolies conspiring to silence political speech.
And it looks like Parler will be removed from Apple’s store in the next 24 hours.
It’s a social media Night of the Long Knives.
It is time to create a hybrid VPN-Hosting service, perhaps as a nonprofit, which sits close to the backbone of Internet. Full end to end encryption. It should automatically remove all tracking on incoming traffic from the internet. In other words, we could look out, but they could not monitor once material entered the system.
I’ve never heard of Sleeping Giants before. This shows one of the things that makes the Left so annoying. They’re like ants, always chipping away at anything they can, never resting.
I hadn’t either, but now the prick behind it is exposed, he can and will be sued.
Sued? Who has standing, and who has the deep pockets for a lawyer? Think you’ll get a conservative law foundation to help? Think again, as witness what happened to law groups that agreed to help Mr. Trump with his legal issues in the recount. Lawyers were harassed and threatened. That was a specialty of the ‘Lincoln Project’.
android sideload easy even non-root.
Allow App Installations from Unknown Sources check
open apk run installer.
or use fdroid store
This will be an inconvenience for Android users, who can actually bypas the Play store.
Apple, on the other hand…
The first thing I do when I get a new device is circumvent all play in their sandbox locks. There is a opensource version of Android which strips out all Google spyware. That is more complex.
Also, the same can be done to Amazon Kindles. Do not allow Alexa to run, the same for OK Google.
Big tech is completely out of control.
The socialist fascist censors, AKA The Ministry of Truth, will have a hard time cracking down on open systems. But they’ll still try.
China is still having trouble doing it. Even with the help of Google and other fascism loving Big Tech corps.
thought parler app was opensource but its not so can’t be on fdroid.
still…anyone has an apk then anyone on android can install.
yeah can root using AOSP on some phones, my galaxies all have locked bootloader and PITA to deal with. plus both s9+ and s10+ pretty new and still getting samsung updates so…meh. used to root a lot. used to admin one of the biggest droid forums in world. not worth hassle to me anymore
Oh and if Apple does this there is a workaround on the phones. Just use the browser to go to the Parler website.
The most optimistic thing I can say is that, perhaps, some of this recent surge in leftist policies is the hangover from the raging TDS of the last 4 years, and may, hopefully, die down a bit after Trump has been gone for a while.
And yet, even as the pendulum may swing back and forth in the short term, each swing seems to be centered around a center that is gradually moving leftward with each decade and especially with each generation.
Sad but true.
We need to ‘de-platform’ them, before they do it to us.
If you still use Facebook, Twitter, Netflix, Instagram: you’re a fu-king idiot. And if you PAY for Netflix, you’re a RAGING fu-king idiot.
I don’t ‘do’ APPS. Parler dot com works just fine for me, thank you very much.
