Marie B.'s show on Fox News just featured the CEO of Parler, John Matze.

Not only have Google, Apple, and Amazon canceled Parler, but also many of their smaller vendors like the email company they use for their internal company email......

Most disturbing, their Law firm just fired them stating they will no longer represent them...

More Info:

Parler CEO Says Service Dropped By “Every Vendor” And Could End His Business

"....Parler CEO John Matze said today that his company has been dropped by virtually all of its business alliances after Amazon, Apple and Google ended their agreements with the social media service.

“Every vendor from text message services to email providers to our lawyers all ditched us too on the same day,” Matze said today on Fox News.

Matze conceded that the bans could put the company out of business while raising free speech issues, calling it “an assault on everybody.”

“They all work together to make sure at the same time we would lose access to not only our apps, but they’re actually shutting all of our servers off tonight, off the internet,” Matze said. “They made an attempt to not only kill the app, but to actually destroy the entire company. And it’s not just these three companies. Every vendor from text message services to email providers to our lawyers all ditched us too on the same day.”...."

This is a partial transcript of a Fox News show with Maria Bartiromo.

The Democrats and their ilk are drunk with power. They are as is typical, overplaying their hand. Such people go broke. They have the stench of illegitimacy about them and are very fearful. The truth will ultimately win out.

They have to have internet service. Parler Ceo Matze said they were having troubles. I don’t know if they will be back up as they said.

How do they justify this? What is Parler’s “crime”?

You must understand that only accepted speech can be allowed. Accepted speech means only what the regime accepts.

Where the hell are our Republican “leaders”?

Every single one of them should be denouncing this in the strongest terms possible, 24x7.

So far, aside from one or two tweets from Gaetz and Cruz and some stupidity from Graham (who we all know will do NOTHING), we’ve heard...

CRICKETS.

Their real crime is not banning Donald Trump and his supporters. They made no attempt to define objective rules about how Parler should censor actual incitement to violence.

They allowed Donald Trump (POTUS) to use their site for communicating with his followers. That's it. Anything or anyone with some association with Trump will be banned.

Also, do not underestimate their ability to use this moment in time to get rid of a competitor, which Parler is.

Gab is in process of adding more servers. Literally millions of people are flocking to them. Apparently they are in discussions with Donald Trump to move his social media process over to them. Trump had over 80 million followers. This is going to require a lot more servers.

For now, Parler is still up.

I'm now firmly established on both platforms as @KenCook

Going to be some wild times.

This is what totalitarianism looks like.

Got that right. But it is only the beginning.

By Tuesday Parler will be back and running on its own dedicated servers.

Something similar happened to Conservative Treehouse. They also found a new server, with a lot of help from their readers.

My understanding is Parler is an app. Someone else owns the platform it’s running on. That platform will no longer carry them. This isn’t the same as forcing a private business to bake you a cake. This is the landlord cancelling the baker’s lease.

Parler refused to bow down to Google (Cumberland Goods) and Apple Censorship rules.

Watch Parler now!

Censorship coming our way. Welcome to the new administration.

One has to wonder. Are they going to pattern themselves after Stassi or the Gestapo.

This is only the beginning. They got away with putting everyone in masks and stealing an election so what is going to stop them now?

President Trump tried and they cheated him out of office.

We’re on our own.

I didn't know there was a such shortage of attorneys in America that they could just go cutting their client base in half.

Many States have anti-boycott laws. Parler should check into those.

I don’t suppose maria found any time to highlight the censorship going on at fox?

The entire tech world has become an incestuous cesspool and the flush mode is stuck on repeat.

When all has been lost regarding faith in politicians, media and tech....there remains a Voice crying in the wilderness. Harken to His call before that opportunity has passed you by.

That train is about to leave the station.

I’m going to go through every Amazon purchase I’ve made, and there are plenty, and rate everything 1 star.

If enough people did this, their vendors would have a fit.
