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.”...."
This is a partial transcript of a Fox News show with Maria Bartiromo.
Good thing the GOP didn’t override Trump and repealed section 230 so that we can sue, am I right?
Trump social media service is going to have to web based and set up their servers in a non-fascist country.
Aren’t there other hosting services? This just emphasizes the need for us to get away from Big Tech.
I would think breach of contract applies
The censorship is purely arbitrary and totaly biased one way
“I’ll bet you don’t.”
What kind of response is that? Are you just an asshole by nature?
No shit!
bump for later...
why would you think that? I canceled everything Amazon including pending orders four days ago.
Conflict of interests as well with government.
I’m really thinking thoughts that would probably get me banned here but really shouldn’t in light of this communist takeover.
how many people, famous people, have been on twitter calling for the murder of our President and his supporters?? Yet the people are never suspended and twitter is not kicked off the www...
Soon, FR will be the only conservative discussion board.
Sounds like Free Republic could get a whole lot of new members very soon.
Dr Evil (Bezos) needs to be destroyed, preferably financially.
Looks inevitable at this point. All created by the radical left.
"favored by conservative politicians and extremists"
OK, what's the lesson?
“the January 6 attempted coup”
LOL. The leftists really are hysterical little propagandists. Too bad they also are waging war against free speech.
me too!!
>> Blame this on that dipsh*t Lin Wood.
It’s Lin Wood. It’s us.
Some people have actual principles.
