inscionent··on How Silicon Valley destroyed Parler
Parler was never a good faith actor. They are profiteers looking to corral a conservative audience. They were more than happen to moderate descriptions of areola, but not violence.

inscionent··on Dominion Voting Systems sues pro-Trump lawyer, seeking more than $1.3B

inscionent··on Facebook Indefinitely Suspends Trump
