    Thomas Talleyrand  0:02  Good morning ladies and gentlemen. We're heading into episode number 11. We are moving right along. We're going to get back into parlor verse Amazon. We are going to also discuss some other information that is broken rich recently pastor coats in Canada has been set up to be fried. I don't know if he's free yet but I believe he is. The button administration and salts China, China hits back at the Biden administration. One of the dumbest, idiotic, I mean, you know, what do you expect when you hire a bunch of Obama retreads? Okay, so getting back into the parlor versus Amazon lawsuit, we're on page 20 chapter 59. This termination by AWS could not have come at a worse time for parlour a time when the company was surging with the potential of even more explosive growth in the next few days. Worse than the timing was the result. parlor tried to find alternative companies to host it and they repeatedly are unable to do so often because of the public defamation by AWS. This delayed parlours ability to get back online by over a month. That delay meant that many past parlor users have had to move on to other platforms. telegram past 500 million users as people seek Facebook and Twitter alternatives. And that is in the Kevin Shively parlor CEO john mattes responded angrily after jack Dorsey endorsed Apple's removal of a social network favored by conservatives, Business Insider. I mean, why he would even say something publicly when he knows that he's got antitrust lawsuits coming against him. parlor rival social media apps that are alternatives to Facebook and Twitter are experiencing experiencing record growth on parler was not available both current users and prospective users turn to alternatives, including but not limited to Twitter, or Facebook. And once those user users have begun to use another platform, they may not switch or return to parlor after parlor was offline for over a month 61 by silencing parlor, AWS silences the millions of parlor users who do not feel comfortable using Twitter or other social media apps to express their views because among other things, these other companies take advantage of users personal data for advertising and other revenue sources. What is more by pulling the plug on parlour but leaving Twitter alone despite the posting of massive amounts of troublesome content on Twitter and Amazon itself, AWS has revealed that it's expressed reasons for suspending parlor service are but pretext. Because AWS declared we cannot provide services to a customer that is unable to effectively identify and remove content that encourages or incites violence against others. AWS NATS the pending termination of parlor services. But AWS knew that its allegations against parlor was specious. Okay, little analysis here. parlor was doing everything and actually being more responsive than Twitter, Amazon itself, Facebook and other companies that Amazon does business with. Amazon accepts advertising from facebook, facebook, except that accepts advertising from parlour. They're all incestuous. They all work together. They at least have a business relationship if not a monopoly monopolistic relationship. So this is very, very worrisome if you are a consumer because of the way that they are crushing speech. And it goes into what China had to say about the United States with the government using social media platforms to censor speech just like China does. However, we are supposed to be above it all we're not supposed to act like China. Instead, we're acting worse, China at least tries to look out for some of its citizens. If parlour were a newspaper, AWS would try to portray the content it flagged as appearing in on the front page but as the facts above showThomas Talleyrand  4:41  the minimal amount of problematic material that AWS flag combined with the fact that much of us buried could not be easily shared, meant it was hardly noticed. Those of parlour was a newspaper the problematic content was buried at the bottom right column on page d 17. And small type the reason that they are go through such links to explain the this stuff in terminology that someone who's not internet friendly or internet savvy can understand is because what they ran into what this judge who should, you know, have retired A long time ago a woman has no business. Being a federal judge in high tech case, especially Making matters worse, Chapter 65 or paragraph 65 AWS leaked this termination email to the press knowing that it's allegations of email, claiming that parlor was unable to find and remove content that encouraged encouraged violence for false. So AWS in a parlours opinion. The reason that they defined parlor was not only to lie and break the contract, but in their opinion, it was to library contract and put parler out of business so that they couldn't compete against data against AWS is number one client or one of their biggest clients, Twitter. Getting you know, they go into all of their AWS ...

    Thomas Talleyrand  0:02  Hello, this is Thomas Talleyrand, and welcome to the PopulistCast Hello ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Episode 10 in Episode 9, we discussed the salesforce.com entry into the censorships base. And I just want to circle back to that to steal from our worst press secretary in the history of the United States. But I'm actually going to circle back to it, I want to make sure that you understand what I'm trying to say. Veritas because salesforce.com for no reason that I can think of other than outright bigotry and discrimination is being canceled from salesforce.com, they could have hundreds of 1000s of dollars. Same thing with RNC who most certainly does have six figures tied up in salesforce.com, plus another six figures that they're being forced to spend, certainly in the $10,000 range, that they're being forced to bend to find another provider. So it's not just the game they provide, find another provider, they also have to pay for the implementation of the new software. So it's an interruption to their business services. And it'll be interesting to see, I don't know that it's legal to sue them, because I'm pretty sure that they have a right to terminate, but, but it's something you had to factor into when you are interviewing prospective vendors when you put out a request for proposal. And prospective vendors are trying to woo your business, you need to start having it written into these contracts, exactly what they're going to do, how they're going to treat language, what the difference, what the definition of words are. I mean, when you have to get down to they have to change the definition from inciting violence to potentially might kind of will incite violence, you need to get that all ironed out and in your contracts. Because most of these contracts are contracts of adhesion. think that if you can't get somebody that you trust, you're going to have to negotiate a better contract. Or possibly, you're going to have to go back to paper and pencil for contact relationship management, or outlook, which a lot of people and small businesses are going to are going to do now. salesforce.com pictures itself is an enterprise platform, it prices itself as an enterprise platform, but it spends a ton of resources and money on trying to woo small businesses. Small businesses are less than 500 employees. So they're not that small. And they make up most of the employer, employees, and employers and opportunity for growth. For companies like salesforce.com, it's just they're not as profitable as an enterprise sale. If you can go into landing a T Mobile account, let's say just use them, you know, you might end up with 10s of 1000s of seats just on one installation, versus trying to get at 10 seats at a time. So you can see where the the scale, you can see where the scale can m pack down their profitability. However, they're going to have to pay out the same kind of sales commission, it's just less effort once they get the product up and running. Now, that's usually negotiated out in price. So they're gonna pay a lot less per seat for a large company, Coca Cola, many fortune 500 company that might decide to use a CRM, they're going to pay less per seat once they negotiate it down. And that's going to be to their economies of scale also. Now, what are we going to discuss today, we're going to discuss the parlor versus Amazon lawsuit. And we'll see where we go from there. I want to keep this one short, get it out. It's the start of spring break. And ladies and gentlemen, thank you to Greg Abbott, for having the common senseThomas Talleyrand  4:33  to go with what the data is showing us and the data is showing us that first of all, masks don't seem to be working as well as they had hoped. And also that people are going to wear masks in heavily populated areas because they just have a common sense. Hey, it might help. Like I discussed before, like I say at the end of my podcast if you're gonna wear a mask, And then 95 do not wear a cloth mask, okay? There's possibly some health problems with that. It might be better than nothing. But if you had to wear masks for a long period of time, you don't you want something that's pretty high grade, you don't want to be breathing in a lot of small particles of cloth or paper into your lungs, you don't know what that's gonna do is those degrade over time? There are some studies that show that it might, might cause cancer. So I don't think we need the government to tell us what to do. I think we're all grown people. That's why in March, I started wearing a mask. It kills me to go to the store. I have severe asthma. like I've discussed before. But thank you, Greg Abbott, for not making it a government mandate. I noticed that in my town, everybody still wears a mask in a grocery store. No one wants to get anybody sick peer pressure. And education would do much more than lying to us. And trying to Gaslight us. It's just that simple. People, you know, ...

Hello everybody and welcome to the populist cast. So we're gonna get into salesforce.com. And really what they did was Project Veritas, Project Veritas is being cut off from salesforce.com. Then ironically, Project Veritas gets a leaked video from salesforce.com. And maybe one of the creepiest people I've ever watched beach or speak, that's in business. Some gaming Brad Taylor talk about the fact that Salesforce apparently has the moral authority to not make sure that they make a good product, not fulfill the contracts of their customers not to operate a business in an ethical way. Now they have the responsibility to determine what speech might possibly in some world incite violence, as long as it's not a Democrat. We know this because they've done nothing against anybody with the DNC, anybody on the left, we know that there are many, many news organizations that use some form of Salesforce, especially their Pardot product, or something else that they have, Salesforce has quite a large number of customers. And the reason that I wanted to take some time to talk about this is because, up until just a few days ago, I was kind of a salesforce.com fanboy hair product. Really pretty good. There's some downside to it. But there's, you know, it's really robust. And if you take the time to learn it, you can get a lot out of it. Marc Benioff has always been somewhat of a hero of mine. He was he's probably one of the best salespeople of our time. And, you know, he did a lot of good when he was at Oracle. He and Larry Ellison did a lot of good for Oracle. But then Benioff left. Ellison was on the board at one time, and may still be@salesforce.com, I haven't kept up with things. We haven't been a customer or I haven't been a customer, there's in quite some time. But salesforce.com in case you don't know what it is is the very first cloud product that really got some traction. And they ran salesforce.com for a long time, with a very small number of hacked together PCs, out of a bedroom of a house, across the street, or maybe it's been a while since I've read Mark's book, across the street, or behind or adjacent to Marc Benioff, personal house, they ran cables between the windows of the two houses when they were getting started, I think they started with $600,000. And I can't remember if it was 11 PCs or 111 PCs, it was a small number of PCs that they then turned into a dis-connected cloud computing service. That was really earth-shattering at the time. And one of the number one things that you had that Salesforce had to compete against was, why would I want to put my information in the cloud? Why do I how do I as a company not want to own my enterprise data, and salesforce.com very successfully made the point that they could stay up and that they could solve problems faster than you could if you had your own bare metal hosting, say, Microsoft CRM, or Microsoft CRM 3.0. After that, it started being available through the cloud. That was a big break, but it still requires much, much more detailed, specialized knowledge to make Microsoft CRM work. Siebel ended up with an online offering through Oracle bought Siebel and Larry Ellison helped start NetSuite. NetSuite is a direct competitor. In some ways with salesforce.com, although its content, content relation management, the software is not as robust as salesforce.com. However, it's all integrated. Many people use salesforce.com, or many clients use salesforce.com and NetSuite combined. They use NetSuite for their accounting functions, and their inner source, enterprise resource planning functions. And then they use salesforce.com for their marketing and Salesforce side. Salesforce, regretfully, not Pardot, Pardot was an Atlanta company that was deep into marketing automation, what marketing automation allowed you to do is, let's say that you are a company that did direct sales to businesses or you're a fundraiser, you could contact somebody or have somebody be directed onto your website, or your Twitter page or Facebook page, or any of your social media outlets that were considered the big three. And if they interacted with you, say they just logged on to the website, they clicked on the link that brought them to the website, in the link and the website, there would be cookies, these are the famous cookies, everybody has to sign off on those cookies, then give the give the tracking information so that six months later, three months later, if you fill out a form, and it says hey, I want some information about your widget number three, then that cookie then coalesces all of your data together with all...
