Parler CEO Mark Matze said today that his company have been dropped by virtually all of their 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.”

Please do not abandon Parler. We are NOT going anywhere. We may have a temporary disruption in service now that monopolist Amazon has attacked us, but it’ll be brief and we have a backup plan<<
Seems to know something.
Section 230. Now.
A multi billion dollar payday for some big league corporate lawyer. Or take it to some scrupulous class action lawyers. The number of plaintiffs harmed would be endless
If the shoe was on the other foot, leftist activists would be burning the headquarters of Facebook, Twitter, Apple, Amazon...
Amazon has a very large footprint. In every American city. I have no doubt they are going to regret dabbling so overtly in politics. Not that I am suggesting anything...
I believe John Matze said they have 300-500 servers and were given just 24 hours to move their data elsewhere.
Meant to say UNscrupulous class action shark. They go after big corporations all the time
I just retired from a large family owned company. A couple years ago they went to a cloud based system, citing costs and at the encouragement of their IT department and software vendor. I was fully aware of the costs of maintaining our own servers but never knew what the savings were. The transition terrified me. I just kept shaking my head at the thought of what could go wrong down to the smallest thing like lack of internet service. Once you are on a cloud system, you are dependent on the internet for all procedures and their business will absolutely come to a screeching halt if there is any interruption. The old timers that could operate away from specialized software are all retiring now.
Bullying people’s LAWYERS into quitting is a violation of their civil rights. It denies them their legal representation and thus due process.
John Peter Zenger was a printer in New York accused of libel by the British Royal Governor. Zenger was defended by Alexander Hamilton and was acquitted. Hamilton’s willingness to take on an unpopular client and to serve him well earned him the title of “a Philadelphia Lawyer.” It seems that courage has not aged well, as evidenced by Parler’s lawyers abandoning ship.
Which is what happened to the case that Trump's people had put together. They couldn't get a court to hear the evidence. The Left is always shouting about "no evidence of fraud". There is evidence of fraud, and a lot of it; but, hard to get the word out when no court in the land, including SCOTUS, will even give you an evidentiary hearing.
The entire apparatus, top to bottom, of the U.S. govt. seems to be allied against Trump and, now, his supporters and followers.
Any thoughts on how to preserve/ convert my Kindle library?
I don't know about thee, but do not speak for me.
React?
Bwahahahahahahaha Bwahahahahahahaha
That’s a good one...
Always have been, but now the number of days is in the three digits.
Exactly. Just as they have cut off all legal avenues to hear any evidence of the fraud that went on this election. Why were there that many people in D.C. Wednesday, they have no other outlet for their opinions; and, at this point, there seems to be no justice system to bring their grievances. Our rights have been stripped from us. And, the dementia patient hasn't even been inaugurated yet.

The past 4 years have shown us that if you support POTUS you have no civil rights. We’ve gotten to this point precisely because of the bipartisan manner of the coup against POTUS. The GOP could have nipped this all in the bud in 2017 and instead choose to give the coup top cover.
This is utterly unAmerican.
All the more reason to never, ever, do business with any of the the major tech companies.
Go host everything in Israel. We’re used to being hated.
If that is your belief then the GOP definitely does not deserved your time, money, or votes because they will do irving with them that you want. The GOP as a party needs to die.
“SUE FOR BILLIONS!”
Yeah, in the same courts that won’t even hear about election fraud.
Good luck with that.
