Mike Lindell’s ‘free speech’ social media platform bans words he finds offensive
Baseless conspiracy theories meant to overturn a presidential election? Fine, but don’t swear.
Pillow-maker and political pundit Mike Lindell says the social media platform he kicked into high-gear after being banned from Twitter is ready to spring into action. But when Frank launches to VIPs on Thursday night, there will be limits on what users can say, according to Lindell.
Calling the new platform a “YouTube/Twitter combination” Lindell posted video online urging future users to sign-up now and gain “VIP” access by entering their cell phone numbers. Frank will debut to the general public Monday morning.
“You’re not going to have to worry about what you’re saying and worry about being able to speak out freely,” the mustached salesman said.
He ended his video with a quick disclaimer that “freely” has its limits.
“You don’t get to use the four swear words you know — the C-word, the N-word, the F-word, or God’s name in vain,” he said. “Free speech is not pornography.”

Dominion Voting Systems filed a $1.3 billion defamation suit against Lindell and his company My Pillow in February, claiming the unflappable Donald Trump loyalist was falsely accusing the election technologies business of being a tool in the former president’s defeat in November. There has been no evidence to support that claim. Lindell stands by his assertions.
In the video promoting Frank’s midnight launch, Lindell doesn’t appear to have lost his conspiratorial spirit.
“What’s happening right now, they’re trying to take everything from us in our country,” he cryptically says.
Lindell claims that in the past month he’s sunk millions of dollars into servers and cybersecurity measures to protect Frank, which he expects to be “attacked.”
