#2Has anyone seen any stats on how many Parler active daily users there are? I’d assume it’s quite small.

Ye on Parler will present a pretty clear challenge to US norms of freedom of speech - he is a vocal anti-semite (whilst at the same time claiming to be Jewish)and I doubt very much that ownership of any platform will moderate his views.

And has Kanye already asked for statistics on the number of bots? I mean, it appears as if he's trying to do an Elon.

But at the same time it's like the right-wing(nuts)-news in that not one is profitable and they always need outside money support.
Its one of the ways we are able to identify dirty money in politics as when they do that its easy to track it as opposed to a cash infusion from the platform owner.

That's one of a hell of an ableist take.
People with mental illnesses are legally entitled to the same rights as people that have not been diagnosed with a mental illness, unless their rights (such as to purchase assets with their own money) have been specifically taken away from them following due process.

And it won’t do him any good because ultimately it’s Apple and Google who truly own the platforms and will decide who gets to play.

I know many won't like this, but I think he meant Defcon 3, which I'm still not sure what it implies. I highly doubt he meant to issue death threats the way that people are perceiving this.
Not to excuse his actions. I'd rather like to know wtf he's talking about and why.he would say something like this.
