Kanye West To Buy Social Media Network Parler

[PGen98]

This is also true; private entities are free to do as they wish within the confines of the law as presently written. Problem with places like Twitter, though, is they've long played loose and fast with the ToS for years now and unfortunately more and more people are starting to call them out for it.

This is very true, and exactly why someone like Elon Musk started joking about buying it. I hope it doesn't turn into yet another pure hate platform, but it feels inevitable.

You're not the only one, Gen....

Are we soon to see a full-blown Nazi social media merger? - Digby's Hullabaloo

Prospective Twitter owner Elon Musk is posting then deleting some very odd tweets. This was from yesterday: Today: Is he talking about merging the three social networks? Sure looks like it. If Musk takes over twitter it will be ruined in no time. There will be zero moderation...

I shudder at the thought. Free speech being pushed as a mask to front hatred...it's such a scary thought. So many people will be in jeopardy, because no one will stop the attacks. I fear for the people who know nothing beyond social media...

Maybe we should start channeling our inner White Night Riots once again, and trust me, Gen, when I say that we Appalachia boys know how to fight....

What Were the White Night Riots?

On May 21, 1979, thousands of members of San Francisco’s predominantly gay Castro District community took to the streets to protest the lenient sentence received by Dan White for the murders of local politician and gay rights activist Harvey Milk and Mayor George Moscone. Their anger–combined...

What did I missed?

Nothing much...

I still can't stop laughing at his "White Lives Matter" shirt. They're actually distributing those WLM shirts to homeless people in some state lol

The guy's a genuine idiot.

Actually he's not lol, if you watch his interviews, he's quite coherent and concise. Every time a new album or something of his releases, he does "stuff" to gain attention. Right now, he has this fashion show, and I guarantee it wouldn't garner as much attention if not for this publicity stunt. He literally is in full control of himself and enjoying it, believe it or not.

Wow...that's kind of sad, then...

Ikr, but it works. Rap is my least favorite genre and I'm not into that side of entertainment at all, but now I'm getting interested in following Kanye (again, since I got drawn in the same way last time). It's an obvious but very effective strategy lmao.

It's definitely an effective strategy, but to need the attention that much...really sad.

Well this WLM publicity stunt I expect from KW; but buying that platform is kinda.. excessive? I still don't get that one.

Tbh that and the fact that it's just a symptom of boredom. For example, you're sitting idle and wanna start up some random shit for fun, just because. Kinda the same mentality; he's quite well off and at that stage they're like why not? Fuck it, let's start a new social media. Just something to fill in the day.

True, it's just a drop in the bucket for him, so why not? Low risk, potentially high reward. Just hope it doesn't succeed because of how potentially damaging a platform like that can be.
