MyPillow guy’s free speech site bans curse words

The new social media network promoted by MyPillow CEO and Trump supporter Mike Lindell failed to come online on Friday, as was planned.

Mr Lindell posted a video on a placeholder website, in which he announced that people who wanted early access to the site could send in their phone numbers to get VIP status on the new platform, which would start operations "Thursday night at midnight.”

Thursday night came and went, and eventually, confused fans took to Telegram to express their frustration. On Mr Lindell's verified channel on Telegram, one user wrote: "I expected a VIP launch midnight Thursday but nothing. What's up?"
