Is the end of free speech coming ? ...sooner than we may think ?
If it is, then i predict that a lot of people [100,000's or even millions of people ? ] are going to be murdered, killed, by those who wish to, and who will, effectively 'ban'
freedom of thought, and,
the freedom to openly and publicly, say what others may not want to hear.
Parler is described as an alternative to Twitter.
Quote:Parler
Parler (/pɑːrlər/, PAR-ler) is an American microblogging and social networking service launched in August 2018. Parler has a significant user base of Donald Trump supporters, conservatives, conspiracy theorists, and right-wing extremists.[5][6][7][8] Posts on the service often contain far-right content,[13] antisemitism,[16][discuss] and conspiracy theories like QAnon.[20] Journalists have described Parler as an alternative to Twitter, and the service is popular among people who have been banned from mainstream social networks or oppose their moderation policies.[5][8][21]
Parler markets itself as a "free speech" and unbiased alternative to mainstream social networks such as Twitter and Facebook. However, journalists and users have criticized the service for content policies that are more restrictive than the company portrays and sometimes more restrictive than those of its competitors.[22][23][24][25] Beginning in June 2020, some users reported being banned from Parler for espousing left-wing viewpoints.[8][discuss]
As of November 2020, the service had about 4 million active users and over 10 million total users.[2][3]

Free speech.
People [including our own forefathers] died in wars, for the right to say, in public, and openly, things which other people maybe didn't want to hear.
HERE, IN WESTERN NATIONS, CULTURALLY, FOR MANY CENTURIES NOW.....Our
Freedom of Speech, has always been, the freedom to say what others may not want to hear.
It has been a right [in law], to publicly express a dissenting opinion. [.....without resort, to incitement to violence, or threats of violence.]
The right of
Freedom of Speech,
is the right to offend others.
Maybe that right is about to 'disappear' ?

Journalism is printing what someone else does not want printed; everything else is public relations.
- George Orwell
"If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear."
- George Orwell
"The further a society drifts from truth the more it will hate those who speak it."
- George Orwell
"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."
- George Orwell [even if this quote is mis-attributed to Orwell, the pursuit of truth remains a great virtue]
John 3:19
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
