tbh i'm surprised twitter did it
I'm only surprised it happened before he is officially out. Look at all the bullshit they tolerated from him over the past year, much less the past 5...
Nah... I think that he would quickly piss off the mods to the point where they would ban him on a trumped-up offense. This place has a way of doing that to people who disagree with the groupthink around here.
Hey, clown. Your mascara is running down your cheeks.

i imagine the app would still work

i downloaded flappy bird right before the creator took it down, but i still have it on my phone years later
But that's just a simple game, not a process that needs to send/receive text, it probably would still work though.

Trump "could" revert to alternative platforms but his audience would be narrowly limited to his base and who cares about THAT. Let them wallow in their delusions.

So if Apple removes Parlor (or Google from play store) will already downloaded copies still function or does the app
have to route through the download point?.
To my knowledge, neither Apple nor Google has ever deployed a “kill switch” by deactivating apps previously downloaded. IIRC both have acknowledged that they have the capability.

Really looks like tech world is bringing the hammers down on MAGA life all over the place. It’s honestly hard to keep up.
Pretty simple, really. The MAGA crowd wants to remove the Section 230 protections that, ironically, protect the tech companies from liability for MAGA speech on their platforms. I mean, these assholes are plotting violent insurrection and other criminal, if not downright treasonous, activities on twitter, etc, and at the same time, they want twitter, etc to be potentially legally liable for the actions resulting from their speech.

But hey, it is fucking awesome reading so-called freedom loving strict Constitutionalist 'conservatives' insist that a private entity refusing to publish a Head of State is somehow a violation of free speech. I mean, when you really got reality backwards...

It's finally at the... "Okay, I feel safe that he won't be able to retaliate against big tech at this point so do the thing that we have been waiting to do for the last 3 years."

The obvious question of who will be regulating them for the next four years is apparent though increasing worker discontent in the face of an insurrection attempt has its own risks too.

just because he cant post doesnt mean Hair Failhrer isnt monitoring twitter. just get the lincoln project group to make some more of the digs that drives the nail in deeper. drumpf will be so busy stewing in his muted tantrums that his staff wont be able to do anything.
He still has his TV. His telephone. His mouthpieces... e.g. Mark Meadows and that kewpie doll press secretary with the crucifix on her neck. 250 hours to go.

Conway thinks they have the 67 votes necessary in the Senate to kick him out of the White House.

Still got a lot of cops on his side too. Keep your guns handy if you have them, nothing like a cornered rat.

Depends how many sympathizers they have in law enforcement and the military.

Things could get real ugly, real quick.

The move to ban their platforms also seems risky in what is a very tense time.
Pulease, you're sounding like a tepid centrist. WTF can happen? The sympathizers in the military, you think they want to lose their jobs?

The banned.. They can't post. I can't think of a better way to shut them up. Trump becomes a nobody overnight. He's got the nuclear codes, but no general is going to use them. He's really done. I'm hoping more than anything right now that they successfully impeach his ass, 2/3 in the Senate and we're done with him. I can't think the GOP will give him much attention after that. His base will dwindle pretty damn quick when he's neutered.

I'm curious what Trump's response will be to this. I guess that he could release an executive order banning all government employees from using Twitter, but it would just be overturned about two weeks from now.

Honestly, I'm not sure if any government agencies would bother doing the work if that came to pass... they would probably say "Sure boss, I'll come up with a plan for that" only to throw out the half-completed plan once Biden gets sworn in.
