Parler CEO Says Service Dropped By “Every Vendor” And Could End His Business
Deadline ^ | 1/10/2021 | Bruce Harling

Posted on 01/10/2021 1:27:32 PM PST by Onthebrink

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.”

"I run a text messaging server. Let them know."

Do you also run your own Tier 1 service?

If you don't, running your own server is meaningless in this environment.

Can the states enact rules regulating these big companies?

It will be up to the states to file the anti-trust lawsuits against Silicon Valley in the foreseeable future. We know Biden's attorney general will ask Big Tech how high he has to jump.

Trump should start his own data company and server farms.

He could call it TDS or “Trump Data Services”

The irony would be delicious.

“And where are the Republican politicians speaking out against this outrage?”

A better question is, where are WE the people? I know, we’re too busy typing away.

If the shoe was on the other foot, leftist activists would be burning the headquarters of Facebook, Twitter, Apple, Amazon...

I would trust bitcoin as far as I would trust the global swamp.

example:

where have all the trusted Cloud server sites gone.... turned off by the Corporations that are the global swamp.

And those same corporations are now agreeing to deal and trade and back bitcoin

roflmao..

I can barter, I hope you can.

respects

They are united - against Trump and us!

It’s not just about slapping a fact check flag on a post. It’s now about destroying a company.

yes, comms are critical, so we fight to build comms in any way we can, but any comms platform that asks you to identify yourself by phone number and id is going to be a honey pot for swamp hackers to get that data.

easier to hang a sign round your neck.

There are comms, think your own safety first and that of your family, Zero personal info.... Zero.

always connect to anything with a VPN and tor, slow? ..so what, no streaming cat vids, who gives a rats azz, we are now in it for our lives.... comms is text, information and morale.

that is all.

After two years of communist rule, even rats who own business own businesses will be crying uncle.

Well I have already dumped Apple and Google. I guess Amazon is next.

Having your own servers would eliminate hosting dependency.

It is true and so sad for John Matze. He really is a good guy and has been active with us on Parler always keeping us informed. Imagine the enormity of what they are doing to him.

I guess that article 230 Trump tried to have cancelled also states they can’t be sued.

On Nov 30 American Thinker published “Prepare for the arrival of the ‘Great Firewall of China’” This was all predictable. Also predictable is that they will fail. They will succeed in transforming the U.S. into Venezuela and at that point they will be hunted down.

Maybe they should partner up with Gab. At this point, probably better off building out a massive infrastructure that can compete with a Twitter rather than try to survive separately as smaller entities.

Just opened or reactivated accounts on CloutHub, Gab, Parler and Rumble this weekend. Too many passwords! But I'll do what I have to do and support as many as I can.

There are vendors for those services that ONLY CARE ABOUT MONEY and are not ideologies.

Yes, can't the sites be hosted offshore?

Free market hands off businesses Republican libertarians helped kill our rights to access. They can use this to deny us banking, deny us renting a home or mortgage.

No reflection on your posting this Liz...

operational security, comms security when all about you is being collapsed and the information held by those entities of the Patriots is like a honey pot for the Global swamp then Why would you do this

Step 3: Hook Up Your Phone

Now it will start by asking for your phone number. On entering the phone number, it will send a message to your phone with a confirmation code. Enter the confirmation code in the terminal to proceed.

Unless you can get a burner phone or ten of them, you just gave not only your phone number, but name as well to the swamp.

I will bet in at least by months end ALL burner phone sales will vanish. why... please dont ask that.

Respects to all but I dont have a number, and this is why.

respects, see me on IRC or here, or when we open up our own ground comms system.

...and the livelihoods of every single person working in that company.

More likely, the career and entire future of every single person working in that company will be adversely affected. If you have to leave Parler, would you ever put your time at Parler on a future resume? “Oh, I see you spent four years at that bigoted hate organization Parler. Guard, show him to the door.”

The snowball effect is enormous and will ripple throughout every business in the country.
