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.
Could serious action happen to individuals and no means to convey what is happening to them?
Torba has proven to be exactly right.
Because people who would have cancelled Amazon Prime over their politics would've done so a long time ago.
Yes, he is.
"What kind of response is that? Are you just an asshole by nature?"
Yeah, sometimes.
Wood has nothing to do with Amazon and Parler. Focus please.
just been watching Steve Bannon with Giuliani, John Eastman, etc and the whole time CNN SCREEN is behind Bannon, with viles, anti-Trump headlines.
is this normal on Real America’s Voice? I hadn’t noticed it previously.
Fox used to do that to Hannity/Tucker/Laura with chryons running across the screen during their programs, all following the FakeNewsMSM anti-Trump narrative.
Parler needs to invest in some infrastructure, including
datacenters and satelite downlink as a backup.
Gab owns their own servers and so they cannot be held hostage by big tech. They also don't need mobile apps, as their website is coded to present optimally on a mobile browser. All you need to do is navigate to the site on your web browser and you can pin the website to your phone as a shortcut. You then get an icon button with the Gab logo, just like it was an app all along.
Pretty clever of Gab.
And they are adding a bunch of servers this weekend, so they must have anticipated this.
They even have a realDonaldTrump account that has been archiving Trump's tweets for some time now. So all Trump has to do is come over to Gab and bring about 80 million people with him.
Gab is going to need a lot more servers!
Recently? I've been posting here regularly for nearly 20 years.
Feel free to peruse my posting history.
What a jerk.
It would be a PLEASURE to give up Amazon.com and go back to the Ma and Pa store on the corner.
“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...”
Ah, but that isn’t a contradiction. To many leftists, we are subhumans, the Untermenschen, while they are the first-class citizens and full humans with special rights. If you keep that in mind, you’ll understand why they still think it’s “fair” to try to destroy equal treatment and standards for all.
I only read it on Twitter, so I guess there's a double standard?
That's a rhetorical question...
When do they build the gas chambers and ovens?
when did he do this?
C'mon, FReepers.. If you AND your husband or wife BOTH have Prime, it takes 1 minute for ONE of you to sign in and at least PAUSE your Prime subscription. You will NOT be billed for the balance of 2021.
Deadline for taking action is JANUARY 12TH.. THAT'S when your CC gets hit by Amazon for another year of Prime!
Welcome to the Democratic People’s Republic of America.
The future’s so bright I’ve got to wear shades.
