CSW has been monitoring the “off the radar” far right social media platforms (Parler, MeWe, Rumble, Telegram, etc.) for many days since our first press release on January 3rd warning about potential violence in Washington which we had uncovered on these sites.

Sadly, our warnings went largely unheeded.

Today’s twin decisions by Twitter and Facebook to boot Trump off of their platforms are small consolation for what we continue to eye on social media sites loyal to Trump and his most ardent and cult-like extremist followers:

unyielding and accelerated incitement to more political violence and threats to the lives of Congressmen and leading politicians following yesterday’s Capitol attack.
