Trump Supporters Are Flocking to "Free Speech" App Parler - Here's Why That's Dangerous
On November 7, 2020, Joe Biden was projected to be the President-elect of the United States, four days after Election Day. But even though Biden is expected to enter the White House this January, about half the country still voted for Donald Trump. In fact, throughout “Election Week” and even the days following Biden’s win, President Trump has been tweeting about voter fraud and outright accusing Democrats of “stealing” the election, even though that's been refuted by many reputable media outlets. His constant emphasis on this “stolen” election prompted its own Facebook group and organization of protestors who call themselves Stop the Steal. The group was quickly taken down by the Facebook team, but this, along with Twitter’s constant and almost instantaneous warning labels on Trump and Trump’s supporters’ tweets, there's been an uproar about “free speech” and tech companies’ supposed war against it.
