Mike Lindell, the CEO of MyPillow and yuge Trump supporter is now planning on starting his own social media network called VOCL. It will be a mixture of Twitter and Youtube, not like Parler or Gab. Get ready for the app stores to refuse to list the VOCL social media app once it becomes available. I’ll join this social media once it’s up and running. How about you?
MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell on Wednesday disclosed new details about a social-media site that he planned to launch in the next three weeks.
In an interview with Insider, Lindell said he would call the site Vocl, and he described it as a cross between Twitter and YouTube.
“It’s not like anything you’ve ever seen,” he said Wednesday. “It’s all about being able to be vocal again and not to be walking on eggshells.”
Lindell, a prominent supporter of President Donald Trump, was barred from Twitter in January. The site began cracking down on misinformation and extremism after the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol and banned many accounts, such as Trump’s, citing the risk of further violence. Then in February, YouTube and Vimeo took down a three-hour film Lindell had made about the election.
YouTube is “the biggest culprit out there that takes people down. … It’s just sad that a platform can do that,” Lindell said.Vocl, he said, isn’t like Gab or Parler, two social-media sites that have been associated with the far-right. It’s a cross between Twitter and YouTube meant “for print, radio, and TV,” he said.
