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.”

Here is paragraph that explains how IBM's fear of further anti-trust investigations caused them to give up control of the PC operating system in such a way as to allow Microsoft to become what it became.

On Nov. 6, 1980, the contract that would change the future of computing was signed: IBM would pay Microsoft $430,000 for what would be called MS-DOS. But the key provision in that agreement was the one that allowed Microsoft to license the operating system to other computer manufacturers besides IBM — a nonexclusive arrangement that IBM agreed to in part because it was caught up in decades of antitrust investigations and litigation. IBM’s legal caution, however, would prove to be Microsoft’s business windfall, opening the door for the company to become the dominant tech company of the era.

THE AGREEMENT THAT CATAPULTED MICROSOFT OVER IBM

Andrew Torba from Gab is in no way this much of a pu$$y.

He has been fighting this for years, never gives up.

Wow, we are speeding off toward oppressive authoritarianism at a genuinely scary rate. Parler’s done nothing wrong except for supporting the First Amendment, which the Dems have declared war on. Obviously, the only reason for this is because the authoritarian Marxists on the left are afraid that Parler will give a voice to the president of the United States and the half of Americans the authoritarian Democrats want to silence and oppress.

The plus side is simply that this shows they are terrified that non-authoritarian alternatives will spring up to threaten their power and control. They have been willing to go to extraordinary lengths simply to protect Twitter’s monopoly.

There must be a contract. Perhaps it permits Amazon to terminate the service whenever they want. If not it’s a clear breach of contract.

For what it’s worth, I found two different investment sites tell investors to dump Twitter stock on Monday.

Twitter can easily be replaced, there’s really nothing special about it, just get some servers, the Interface is pretty basic, I could probably even write my own Twitter app in a few days.

They are utterly afraid of the people right now the GOP politicians and they are in on things including the spreading to misinformation and disinformation to keep people from taking actions of any kind.

Lies about someone else taking action are a common GOP Establishment-Conservative Group disinformation strategy.

The liberals are pushing the Americans into a corner.

American Consumers, especially TRUMP supporters have the UPPER HAND.

First.. we far outnumber the left.

Second.. all we need are 3 or 4 well-planned, well thought out BOYCOTTS and we'll bring major corps to a standstill due to lack of income revenue.

What "We the People" so often forget is that "The POWER is in OUR POCKET"

Without our dollars they have NOTHING.

Definitely a forward thinker that CEO guy....no contingency plan, nothing. I guess this is what happens when your business model relies solely on Leftist service providers instead of building one of your own, etc.

This is the exact same thing that happened to Gab several years ago. They have never really fully recovered all this time later. This is tech tyranny and fascism on full display for all to see. Either you agree with the established power sitting in Washington DC or you will be driven out of existence.

Are you all ready for civil war two yet? Because it’s here whether you’re ready or not.
