MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has launched VIP access to his social-media site Frank, which he says will bar swearing, porn, and death threats

* Mike Lindell's platform Frank is set to go live on Monday but VIPs can get access from Thursday.

* Lindell said he'd spent millions of dollars on the site's security, including its own servers.

* He described the site as a cross between YouTube and Twitter - but some content will be off-limits.

You can now sign up for VIP access to Frank, the social-media site being launched by MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell but if you choose to join, you'll still have to be careful about what you post.

Although the site supports free speech, people won't be able to post swear words, porn, or death threats, Lindell said.

Lindell, a staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump, first announced plans to launch his own social-media site in early March, after being banned from Twitter.

In a video posted this week to Frank's static webpage, which first went live in late March, Lindell said he had worked on the site for four years and it would be a "platform like no other."

Frank uses the tagline "the voice of free speech," and Lindell has previously said he would use the site to share evidence of his voter-fraud theory, which has been thoroughly debunked.

In the new video, which Newsweek first reported on, Lindell said: "You're not going to have to worry about what you're saying."

He did, however, note that there will be some content moderation on the site. "You don't get to use the four swear words: the c-word, the n-word, the f-word, or God's name in vain," he said. "Free speech is not pornography, free speech isn't 'I'm gonna kill you.'"

Details of this would be available in the site's mission statement when it goes live, he said.

MORE DETAILS:

Lindell added that he had spent millions of dollars on the site’s security over the last four weeks because he expected the site to be the victim of cyberattacks.

“We’re going to be attacked, but I have my own servers and everything,” he said. “We’re not going to be worried about Amazon taking it down, or YouTube, or Google, or Apple.”

Somebody on Gab remarked that Mike Lindell should have named his new messaging service “Pillow Talk.”

Something tells me 4 banned words will lead to 8... (Or 7 in Carlin’s case)

Sounds like a good place for boomers to talk about the virus and vote fraud, if nothing else.

Love how the DNC constantly claims Election Theft 2020 is debunked.

Yet, they never examine and report on any evidence unlike the Russia Collusion Hoax.

Honestly, Conservatives should come together to create a bank that would not be beholden to woke fascist culture. They could capitalize a lot of support for existing conservative platforms.

Mike Saddam's “last laugh”?
What has David Hogg ever done in his miserable life? Apart from spewing out nonsense of course.

Bans porn, swearing, and death threats. But suppose someone wants the porn and swearing but just not the death threats? Can that be done?

Asking for a friend ...

If Frank requires a mobile phone number to do anything the site is going to fail.

I would sign up, pay with a credit card but I REFUSE to give out my cell phone number. NO WAY!

David Hogg failed because he didn’t want to do any of the work involved in creating a successful company, instead he just wanted to talk about it on the media. He had a investor sugar daddy waiting to write checks to get his pillow company off the ground, he couldn’t even do something basic like buy a bunch of pillows from Alibaba, stamp “good pillow” on them and charge leftist idiots $79.99 each. He would have made millions doing just that. Instead he gave up because work is hard.

David Hogg proved he is a non threat.

Ignore that yapper

All bark, zero bite

If I cannot continue registration because the phone text box is blank, I usually enter this: (MY AREA CODE) 123-4567
