Parler CEO Confident Platform Will Return by Month’s End

According to CEO John Matze’s post on the current parler placeholder website, “Despite the threats and harassment, not one Parler employee has quit.”

After Amazon Web Services unilaterally cancelled its web hosting agreement for Parler, the url www.parler.com initially only returned a 404 error. Since then, the company has reportedly secured a new hosting provider and is now working on restoring the full functionality of its social media platform. Progress is being reported at www.parler.com

Barstool Fund Helps Paris, Tennessee Bakery Who Employs Those with Special Needs

As bureaucrats threatened to close this small town Tennessee bakery which provides jobs to disabled people who may otherwise have a hard time finding employment, the barstool fund came to its rescue.

The barstool fund was started by David Portnoy, who was among the first to point out the counterproductivities and inconsistencies of the Covid-shutdowns. His video went viral, in which he pointed out that the way we were sold to shut down and stay home was “two weeks to flatten the curve”, which turned into indefinitely, without anyone publicly noticing the changing goalposts.

The intention of the barstool fund is to save small businesses which are being slaughtered by the ongoing restrictions, while many big corporations are booming. It specifically focusses on small gastronomy ventures, many of whom already went bankrupt as a result of the Covid-restrictions.

A Message to Anyone Who Feels Like Winston in Orwell’s 1984

While the excessive cancel culture, that forces everyone to think the same way, can be quite disheartening, the good news is that there are actually many things we can do to reduce our exposure.

A big tech company, a bank, a social group, only has power over you as long as you chose to participate. Thankfully, today we have plenty of alternatives. If you start taking steps to join alternatives and create backups, you will be less vulnerable to coercion and ultimately be able to ignore a lot of the current pressure.

Poland Slams Social Media Deplatforming of Trump as Government Readies Anti-Censorship Law

The Polish government has decried social media platforms’ (mis)handling of US President Donald Trump’s accounts as Warsaw prepares to pass its own legislation to stop ideological censorship.

Under the country’s new anti-censorship law, “removing lawful content would directly violate the law, and this will have to be respected by the platforms that operate in Poland,” he explained to Polish outlet Rzeczpospolita.
