Wow! But, bloody good riddance. These huge internet companies have got to start taking responsibility for the hate and dangerous disinformation peddled on their sites

@BruceAndNosh

Bugger me sideways

Twitter have just permabanned Trump.

His head will explode

Did he say something new on there?
NotaRealLawyer · 08/01/2021 23:37

Seemingly, Twitter staff signed a petition demanding that he be banned.

That's him shut down - his worst nightmares are coming true, thoroughly deserved! Grin

Did he say anything after announcing he wasn't attending the inauguration? I was hoping for a final incriminating rant.

Can you lurk on Parler? I'm not on twitter, I just follow links from here.

It's like a sci-fi movie... after the Gerard Butler-esque feature film "Storming the Capitol"... all these major social media bodies taking these steps to protect the public from the President.

Yohoheaveho · 08/01/2021 23:43

I understand he will now be a denizen of 'parler' ...some evil sibling of Twitter😶

Destinysdaughter · 08/01/2021 23:44

On CNN they were saying Apple are threatening to remove Parler. I really hope this is a massive wake up call for these big companies.

BoreOfWhabylon · 08/01/2021 23:45

Apple are apparently talking about removing Parler from the App Store, according to CNN

NotaRealLawyer · 08/01/2021 23:45

This is interesting, pressure on Parler now, which is the platform Trump's lot uses.

This is the only time I've agreed with cancel culture!

NotaRealLawyer · 08/01/2021 23:45

Snap! Grin

Destinysdaughter · 08/01/2021 23:46

I know!!

Lweji · 08/01/2021 23:47

The last thing I needed today was... to spot a Trump cameo in a movie. 🤮

No, not Home Alone II.
They should all be cut out.

Twitter has also permanently banned Michael Flynn and Sidney Powell.

FantasticButtocks · 08/01/2021 23:52

They've found and arrested the thug who had his feet up on Pelosi's desk

It's almost worth downloading Parler to watch the resultant explosions ..
