How is this a show of monopolistic force? Its like a a half dozen interdependently owned companies each choosing on their own to not associate with Parler. If you piss off everyone at the same time and everyone decides to not do business wi

I bet we haven't even come close to realizing the potential of having extremely fast/high bandwidth cellular connections. Streaming 8k video to a phone seems silly but there are some brilliant and clever people out there who will
