Nope.

Parler users are not a significant portion of the population.
They were not blocked by "all social media companies", their app was removed from an app store.
If you're trying to implicate the people who were using Parler... again small population and the over lap between banned from social media and using Parler is far away from a "significant portion of the population". And many are of a certain political leaning, they are not representative of that population.
This while comment chain was built on an event "banning a significant portion of the population population" that doesn't exist. End of story.
I'm not interested in discussing doomsaying based on made up events.
Nothing said in this thread is a novel thing, it's the same tired what-ifs that ignore the "what-happened". When your argument doesn't even stand without leaning on made up events and slipper slopes, it's not worth much.
- kstenerud 6y agoI can see now that this discussion will not be fruitful.
- BoorishBears 6y agoAlready been quite fruitful Once again it's been proven that, even after facing the worst case so far, presidents using their platform to threaten nuclear war... people still have to resort to embellishments and straight up fabrications to support doomsday theories that just haven't panned out. Twitter did not falter in their dedication to avoid censorship until people's blood were quite literally on this person's hands before finally taking a stand. It's probably been a difficult 4 years for some people at Twitter turning cheek after cheek, they're earned their extra 11 days of rest.
