Parler is Back!
Parler’s reboot went live yesterday (ish). I could not log in until today (they are working out the kinks), but it is there and not without some intrigue.

Free Speech: Is Donald Trump Starting His Own Social Media Platform?

You Should Gab, Not Tweet

Bill Gates: Social Media Platforms Need To Face Stronger Regulation In The U.S.
