1/. Very disturbing

The @WSJ has just revealed that the social media app Parler, - set up as an alternative to Facebook & Twitter - is funded by the Mercers, the former owners of #CambridgeAnalytica

Parler has had a surge in users since the #Election2020 https://www.wsj.com/articles/parler-backed-by-mercer-family-makes-play-for-conservatives-mad-at-facebook-twitter-11605382430
WSJ News Exclusive | Parler, Backed by Mercer Family, Makes Play for Conservatives Mad at Facebook,...

The libertarian-minded platform aims to challenge tech giants through a focus on free speech. Hedge-fund investor Robert Mercer and his daughter Rebekah, who have previously financed a number of...

2/ "They always wanted to create a social network to collect data & disseminate propaganda. Now they have” @chrisinsilico ( #CambridgeAnalytica whistleblower)

"Posts on Parler often contain far-right content, antisemitism, & conspiracy theories” @Wikipedia
3/ "To me the easiest fix is for every Conservative to kill two liberals."

Under the guise of free speech, Parler appears to be an uncensored space for libertarians, right-wingers, far-right wingers & conspiracy theorists of every description to come together & share their ideas
4/ "What's next for Parler? We anticipate #Trump will join announce his plan to transition away from @Twitter. Kanye West & others too. But to do that, Parler needs to be ready to scale up quickly, which requires $$$" @davetroy wrote ystdy

It appears that they now have the $$$!

5/ “As Parler expanded in 2019, it was squarely focused on creating conditions that would challenge a section of the Communications Decency Act. The company’s purpose seems to be expressly political & aimed at eroding US social media firms.”

Here👇 @davetroy follows the money! https://twitter.com/davetroy/status/1327253991936454663
6/ It seems that Parler are a part of a a highly-organised, well-funded, heavily-disguised strategy that’s being rolled out in the US & UK & beyond

This diagram show how a strong right-wing social media platform would fit into that plan & joins some dots

7. "This is a large-scale op aligned with Russian interests" @davetroy, disinformation specialist

Analysis of the first several thousand Parler accounts revealed "the usual Russia aligned operatives that we in this space have tracked for years"

Parler now has 10million+ users.
8/. “In order to win these battles, we have to have a place to communicate...That is why millions of Americans are flooding over to Parler”

Yesterday on @FoxNews, @LouDobbs asked @DevinNunes what Republicans are doing to save Trump

Nunes plugged Parler.
9/ The Mercer’s funded Steve Bannon & Breitbart

Bannon was VP of #CambridgeAnalytica which helped win the Leave referendum & - with the help of Palantir - the Trump 2016

Palantir are running the #COVID19 digital platforms for the NHS in UK & HHS in US & in many other countries. https://twitter.com/stefsimanowitz/status/1125022414860095490
10/ According to @chrisinsilico, senior Palantir employees worked with #CambridgeAnalytica on harvesting Facebook data.

Palantir is a shadowy data & surveillance company with roots in the CIA. It is cofounded by right-wing Paypal billionaire, Peter Thiel. https://twitter.com/StefSimanowitz/status/1310697569341800449
11/ “Can we now move everyone from Twitter to Parler?” Hannity

People - including me - are talking about Parler...& perhaps that’s what they want

A social media & MSM furore will amplify the app helping them get sign ups & pushing their “free speech” msg
“You ask for forgiveness not permission”

#Palantir, the data-mining & surveillance company founded by right-wing billionaire Peter Thiel, has gone into ‘health data’

They run the #COVID19 digital health platforms for NHS, HHS & countries around the world
13/ TUCKER CARLSON: People are going to attack you as a home for extremism

JOHN METZE ( #Parler CEO): Everyone has opinions but it's not against the law to have those opinions. It's not against the law to express yourself

Incitement to violence & hate speech ARE against the law.
