The clock literally struck midnight, more precisely 12:00 a.m. Pacific Time on January 11. The overlords of social technology succeeded in shutting Parler.com's entire website. Not just the mobile apps - the entire freaking site, in warp speed. Why? Because Parler's membership exploded with the conservative movement and with QAnon groups against the Deep State.

Parler's membership doubled in the days after the November 2020 election and exploded again in the wake of the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riot.
CloutHub. launched on October 20, 2020, is hailed as another next-generation free speech site gaining influencer support, and reportedly got Donald Trump on board this morning.
Which means Clouthub could be history by the end of the week.
