But those are my three favorite things!

I don’t favor porn and swearing, but these have been determined to be allowable free speech. Yet he rails against free speech restrictions.

With regards to death threats, an acquaintance of mine got banned for 30 days on FB for saying something about hitting AOC over the head with a concrete filled lead pipe and couldn’t understand why.

Thank you. So it was meant for users to be FRANK.

Now, I wonder if FRANK can be used as a verb in future.

You can FRIEND someone in Facebook.

You can send a Tweet

You can send a Parlay

You can also Gab.

I think Trump can send many Franks.

RE: Asking for a friend ...

Is your friend on Free Republic?

Frank’s posting rules are no different from FR’s.

[palmer]

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

He's getting fleeced. Not particularly surprising.

What has been “Thoroughly Debunked” is the veracity of the AMERICAN MEDIA.

RE: He’s getting fleeced

Can you elaborate?

[I want the USA back]

Leftist trolls will go there and post all kinds of garbage, to give the site the reputation that they want it to have. They will post White supremacy things and hate things, and then the media will repeat the mantra that the site is racist.

Do not let any posting appear without moderation. Ban leftist trolls. Give them what they give to us.

Frank is short for the full name, frankspeech.com.

Here's a link. They want your cell phone number.

Phone number is needed to receive text message with access code.

What if my name is not Frank or if it is?

Has everyone ran out of good Internet names and marketing folks to help pick one?

[Reno89519]

Agreed, someone with too much money and not common sense or willing to spend it smartly. I figure this endeavor will flop, 50/50 before launch.

[palmer]

$1000 a month will get him 2 beefy servers, one behind a firewall completely secure. The front end server will be exposed and attacked of course but it can also be locked down. Then you have to spend some consulting money to get it set up. That might be 10 grand a month at most. There's really no way to spend millions without some kind of waste, fraud or abuse.

[palmer]

He seems like a reasonably successful businessman, but seems to know nothing about anything out of his lane.

[Shadylake]

Any site that wants any number other than your IP is a no-go. And that’s bad enough.

Opens you up to doxing, hacking, spam, and endless nightmares. You can get a google voice line fairly anonymously but it’s still a risk.

[who knows what evil?]

...so if you don’t have a mobile phone (and those people ARE out there), you’re SOL???

[Reno89519]

I'm still wondering why we haven't seen Trump develop something as a credible solution would be pocket change to him and his family.

Then again, if Section 230 is repealed and current companies become platform owners, not content owners, the marketplace will change substantially.
