MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, the President Trump ally who pushed the voter-fraud conspiracy, has offered a first glimpse at his new social-media site. This from businessinsider.com.
The site, currently a static webpage, is called Frank and uses the URL frankspeech.com.
Frank is set to launch fully [very soon], Lindell told “The Eric Metaxas Radio Show” recently.
Lindell has been secretly creating his own social-media platform over the past four years, he said in early March.
The site’s tagline calls it “the voice of free speech.” Lindell previously told Insider’s Natasha Dailey that the site would be “all about being able to be vocal again and not to be walking on eggshells.”
Lindell told Dailey that he planned to be the site’s CEO and told Metaxas that he had invested millions of dollars into it.
The Epoch Times reported:
”The forthcoming social media website from MyPillow’s Mike Lindell will be able to handle more than a billion users, Lindell said this week.
“I believe it will handle upwards of a billion. If it doesn’t, we will get to that capacity. I don’t think that’s exaggerated, by any means,” Lindell told The Epoch Times.
It’s going to be the safest, secure platform. I built it expecting to be attacked.”
Frank’s webpage describes why Lindell decided to launch the website as well as what it would be used for.
It says that Frank “will be the platform for Americans who want to defend life, liberty, and all the freedoms that have marked America as the longest running Constitutional Republic in the history of the world.”
Users will be able to “post videos, livestream television, distribute news and information, and find community and fellowship with likeminded Americans,” per the site’s description.
Lindell previously told Dailey that the site would be a cross between Twitter and YouTube meant “for print, radio, and TV.”
“There’s nothing like it out there,” he told Metaxas on Tuesday. “Your YouTube channel is your Twitter. It’s amazing.”
He also said that the site is “reverse-engineered,” and that when influencers join, “they will now have a platform where all the people down here follow them instantly.”
“They don’t have to earn their followers,” he added.
The description says the site was launched in retaliation against “cancel culture” and “political correctness.”
“The world watched as perhaps the most visible and vocal CEO in America, Mike Lindell, became the victim of the ‘cancel culture’ when he began to express his views on matters that the liberal media and big tech deemed to be politically incorrect,” the site reads.
Lindell told “The Domenick Nati Show” [early March] that he planned to cancel “cancel culture,” and that he had “big teams” of investigators looking into who was behind it.
Lindell told Metaxas that Frank would be “the most secure platform ever” and that he uses all his own servers so that “they will not be able to break into it.”
Lindell has been blocked from Twitter, sued by voting machine company Dominion, and had his products pulled by retailers, all in the space of a few months, after he pushed the conspiracy that voting machines switched votes from President Trump to Joe Biden during the 2020 election.
What say you Def-Con News readers? After reading the original articles about Frank, I admit feeling like an unsupervised kid in a candy factory. I look forward to Twitter, YouTube, et al taking it in the shorts. I hope Frank becomes the model for future social media, if not THE social media of the near future.
