Amazon's suspension of Parler's account means that unless it can find another host, once the ban takes effect on Sunday Parler will go offline.
Amazon on Saturday kicked Parler off its Web hosting services. Parler, a social network favored by conservative politicians and extremists, was used to help plan and coordinate the January 6 attempted coup on Washington D.C. It has recently been overrun with messages encouraging “Patriots” to march on Washington D.C. with weapons on January 19.
Amazon's suspension of Parler's account means that once the ban takes effect on Sunday Parler will be offline until it finds someone else to host it.
Amazon declined to comment on the suspension. Parler has not yet responded to a request for comment.

Sunday (tomorrow) at midnight Amazon will be shutting off all of our servers in an attempt to completely remove free speech off the internet. There is the possibility Parler will be unavailable on the internet for up to a week as we rebuild from scratch. We prepared for events like this by never relying on amazons proprietary infrastructure and building bare metal products.
We will try our best to move to a new provider right now as we have many competing for our business, however Amazon, Google and Apple purposefully did this as a coordinated effort knowing our options would be limited and knowing this would inflict the most damage right as President Trump was banned from the tech companies.
This was a coordinated attack by the tech giants to kill competition in the market place. We were too successful too fast. You can expect the war on competition and free speech to continue, but don’t count us out.

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.”...."

I entered Gab on my web browser and selected sign up and have the Gab icon, but there is nothing showing to sign up. Wondering if their servers are overlooked. Any thoughts?
Free Republic and back in the good old days, some of us Freepers would meet in an IRC channel.

Keep poking the Eagle ... please!
I believe Trump's Election Integrity Commission ended because every jurisdiction they approached flatly refused to cooperate and provide any voter information at all.
There seems to be no way states and local election officials can be required to do anything at all unless they choose to. So all the long standing methods of vote fraud go on uninterrupted.
LOL. You posted that you would attempt to influence a business decision affecting your employer because of this.
Own it.
I do own it, moron. You just don’t understand the basis due to your juvenile thoughts about it. Your inability to understand is not my concern.
This is all coordinated cause they think something may happen between now and the inauguration. Apple can take the app off the store but they can’t disable it unless AWS knocks them offline. Problem solved. It is an effort to silence and this should be the biggest lawsuit of all time. Especially if Twitter is to remain with all the garbage that has been going on there lately.
I guess Amazon is exempt, it doesn’t have to bake cakes to order.
Your kidding, right?
You think AT&T or any other Tier 1 provider in the U.S. is going to deny traffic to Amazon?
And, as far the, "that’s a regulated utility and can’t discriminate" you think we are now in an environment of rule of law that applies equally?
Who in the fed gov is going to slap down AT&T if they did not shut off traffic to Amazon because Amazon is looking to hurt their political enemies? Nobody.
Who would start regulating them? The executive branch, the Senate, and House are all going to be in the hands of the party that is eagerly cheering this on. You can bet that there are a lot of dollars going to squashing any threat to that control in 2022, 2024, and beyond.
Meanwhile, Republicans sit silently on their hands...
...complicit.
It should. First they came for ...
I’m sorry you feel that way. A prominent lawyer that is rich enough to throw his hands up and quit, didn’t. Sydney Powell is also a well known lawyer with accolades bigger than 99% of them is also fighting on, putting her career in danger. Here you are telling us they’re both crazy.
Give it a break and come back to Freerepulic on the 21st.
Are you going to tell your employer you're advising avoiding AWS because of their decision to boot Parler?
Is that part of the evaluation criteria your team established for the cloud hosting decision?
You don’t know I’m thinking. You don’t know sh!t about sh!t, really. It’s been a whole fvcking 24 hours since this unprecedented declaration of war, and I’m sure a lot people are starting to consider our remaining options. So, maybe just STFD & STFU for now. Or continue punching your speed bag or saluting the red star or whatever it is you like to do.
I’ve found ordering from Walmart online painless. Not neatly as broad an inventory but I don’t need that and I’ve found by going directly to the company whose product I want is quick and I often get free shipping.
I’ve never liked Bezos or Amazon. When it was just books I occasionally went there- now I buy from Thrift Books or go to my library.
I pray Elon is with us.
He’s publicly disclosed he’s bipolar which allows him to swing over to Trump and then explain to his fraternity elitists that it was an ‘episode’. We call it his ‘stay-alive’ card.
Some say the zillion satellites he plans to put up are to track us through 5G tranceivers on the ground especially after Gates the Psychopath arranges us all to be vaxxed with bio-barcode elements. There’s credible evidence about this.
My teen and his friends follow Musk like a cult. I like him but not sure of him.
Be careful.
Dan Crenshaw kisses up to the WEF headed by the Great Reset head honcho himself, Klaus Schwab. Texans are suspicious of this former Navy Seal wounded in action and are talking of not sending him back to Congress.
The lesson is certain persons are not who they seem.
I sit back, fold my arms and watch true colors to be revealed.
Actually that was trending on Twitter and all he was saying was that they were out there saying that. If we really think this is about Lin wood we don’t even know what we’re fighting
