Apple & Google have been conducting a ‘Pearl Harbor’ operation on conservatives for quite some time now.

It’s time to awaken our sleeping giants

I stayed away from Apple for many reasons.

My daughter asked why I was finally switching from Android.

“Yes, Apple is evil, but Google has gone superhero-villain-level evil.”

There’s an app out there for law enforcement whose name I shall not mention that got so sick of facebook time outs they cut the affiliation and went entirely independent as a paid app. Since then, they’ve grown by leaps and bounds.

Gab and Voat are just two web sites with 14 year olds calling each other names and giggling as they post naughty words.

I used Apple Phone for one year and went back to Android.

Android is easier to develop for and you can side load the apps.

Big Tech is colluding to kill the alternatives. They’re denying equal access to the market to Parler. They did that to Gab.AI.

The greater crime was the collusion between Big Tech and financial giants. Big Tech deplatforms you? Chase closes your bank accounts, personal and organizational, and Paypal won’t do business with you. Nor is this the only example.

Big Tech doesn’t like you or your group? Patreon won’t let you receive crowdfunding. Plus Paypal and Chase denied financial processing to Subscribestar until they agree with liberal bullies’ demands. Freestartr stood by principle and was shut down for lack of payment processors.

I recognize it is a slippery slope but for now Parler should try to play the game. But some word filters to block out hate speech words that everyone recognizes, and add an “abuse” feature to report hate speech.

I know Apple will then escalate and move the goalposts as to what they claim is “offensive”. But a platform has to gain momentum otherwise Apple will feel no pressure pushing them around. If they tried to ban Words with Friends or Candy Crush or Crazy Birds people would cry out.

At least with Android installing any app is very easy to do. Go to an apk mirror site and enable install from untrusted sources.

I'm on Gab, and I don't see that at all.

Post frequencies are low, at least with the people I follow. Let's see if the July 4th redesign they're talking about changes that.

Why anyone uses crApple’s proprietary, locked down, overpriced iJunk is puzzling to me. This just confirms my anti- crApple bias. Google is no better. It’s WAY past time to remove federal protections from ALL of these Leftist tech companies!
