Parler founder and CEO John Matze said his company is “prepared to take full legal action” after several big tech companies suspended the social media network from their services, according to an email.
John Matze, Parler’s founder, told The Epoch Times in an email that he believes Apple, Google, and Amazon had acted in bad faith and that the social media platform is considering legal action.
Responding to accusations that Parler was enabling “threats of violence and illegal activity,” Matze said these companies are using recent events to “go after Parler,” even though “there is no evidence Parler was used to coordinate the events.”
“Parler has no groups-style feature and Facebook was the number one tool for coordinating meetups for that event,” Matze said.
The targeted moderation by these companies against Parler came after civil unrest and acts of violence marred a largely peaceful protest at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday. A group of rioters and a minority of protesters waving American and Trump flags illegally stormed the Capitol building as lawmakers were counting electoral votes in a joint session of Congress. The mayhem on the day left five people dead, including one police office, and dozens of officers injured.
In response to the Capitol breach, a number of Silicon Valley technology companies ramped up their policing of statements and comments from President Donald Trump, conservatives, and other voices they believe may cause harm. Twitter on Friday permanently removed Trump’s account on its platform and justified its censorship by saying that the president had violated its “Glorification of Violence Policy” after he posted a message urging protesters to remain peaceful and leave the Capitol. The Trump campaign Twitter account has also been removed.

The problem that Parler.com has right now is that unfortunately, they are using Amazon Web Services Redshift database. I am an expert at Redshift. And I can tell you, it is a LOT easier to switch to a different ISP. It is going to be a hell of a lot of work to swap out their backend database system. Basically, Jeff Bezos has a kill switch on Parler.com. He can shut them down in the blink of an eye.
We used to call this “restraint of Trade” and “Conspiracy to restrain Trade” and it is a Major Felony under our existing Anti Trust Laws, it has severe consequences too, Like Prison and Dissolution and Seizure of everything YOU OWN. If we actually a Department of Justice, on Monday morning they would be filing CRIMINAL ANTITRUST Cases and ARRESTING all the execs at these tech companies. You would see SEIZED BY US MARSHALL’S if you went to their domain.....
A Lawless Banana Republic
The baker and the pervert don't have a signed contract.
This is not the barrier to entry elsewhere that you think it is. Given that Parler wasn't particularly robust to begin with, suffering from horribly-implemented 2-step verification, and the invisibility of external search (and not particularly great internal search), if it shakes them up as Bongino should be shook up ... I have advised to take their time building up an defensible infrastructure and get Matze off the boob tube.
He needs allies, us.
Jan 20th is Big Dump Day. Dump them all. Twitter, Facebook, Google, cable tv, etc
That is good news! Hopefully, many who have been asleep are waking up.
An enforced anti-trust action of any consequence would need to be backed by the President and Congress. That was blown by conspiracy theory propagandists pushing weak minds against educating themselves, campaigning and voting.
Destroy them before they can destroy you.
PING!
Sort of. There’s that old fantasy about the Chinese market( A fantasy as old as the United States). They may not mind losing a few million Americans if they can get a billion Chinese (if the Chicoms let them) users.
