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.”

His contingency plan focused purely on the Technology and being able to take it anywhere, stand it up, and be back in business. That's how we Technologists think.
What happened is that RICO, Anti-Trust and other laws have now demonstrably been broken by a coordinated effort executed by BigTech to make sure the Parler platform isn't "allowed" to run ANYWHERE.
There is no contingency plan that can accommodate for that. When Parler can no longer even be registered in Global DNS they're dead in the water.
Now let me take this one step further:
First they went after Gab, which STILL hasn't fully recovered several years later.
Now they've gone after and successfully driven a BILLION dollar company right out of existence in Parler.
Guess who's next?
MeWe
NewsMax
Free Republic
Any other streaming/web platform BigTech doesn't like.
And these MF'ers wonder why there was a riot in Washington DC last week?
I hope you all are ready for CW2 --- because it's here whether you're ready or not. They're making their move to come after us directly already. They're not waiting until January 20th.
And this comment for EVERYONE on FR: Don't you DARE go quietly into the night.
If 30 to 40 million taxpayers did it that would create an insurmountable BLOWBACK that would stop the IRS in their tracks.
What happened with the Covid virus forced them this past year to create an extension period just for filing your return.
You're one of those people who sees the government as being all-powerful in a one on one situation. That is their strength... picking on the INDIVIDUAL.
No need to worry, however, because Trump will be serving his next 4 year term shortly.
I just received this story on the TRUMP happenings from a usual reliable source. Mindblowing!
I believe this is the article: https://www.theepochtimes.com/free-speech-platform-gab-reports-753-percent-increase-in-traffic-in-24-hours_3650640.html
Even Obama 2008 would be closing in on “far right” by their standards today.
Good point.
‘Crony Capitalism’ is not the same as ‘Capitalism’.

You’re a liar.
Almost sounds like a private RICO act lawsuit might be warranted. The discover against all those big corporations and message they sent to the suppliers should make for interesting reading.
