‘They are literally trying to kill us’… [Parler under assault from Left]

Parler CEO with Maria Bartiromo this morning

‘Our service has been dropped by every vendor and could end our business’

Parler CEO John Matze said today that his social media 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.”

The remarks come a day after Amazon dropped Parler from its servers, joining Apple and Google. They all cited the potential of spreading violent content on the site, which is favored by conservatives as an alternative to Twitter and Facebook. “They’re trying to falsely claim that we’re somehow responsible for the events that occurred on the 6th,” he said, the date of the Capitol building takeover by protesters.

“It would put anybody out of business,” he said of the tech bans. “This thing could destroy anybody.”

He added: “We’re going to try our best to get back online as quickly as possible. But we’re having a lot of trouble because every vendor we talk to says they won’t work with us. Because if Apple doesn’t approve and Google doesn’t approve, they won’t.”

Get it through your head, reader... facts no longer matter, as the rule of law has been canceled in America, the ultimate goal of the “Cancel Culture”. Now what?

They made a huge mistake in relying on Big Tech in the first place. We have to build our own infrastructure entirely outside of Big Tech’s control. Gab has largely done that. Locals which Dave Rubin started has been set up that way. You simply have to assume the Big Tech monopolies will collude to try to kill off any competitors. They’ve shown it several times beginning with Alex Jones - who has also built his own infrastructure outside their control.

As a group or unit, sad to say, we are not. I wish we would. Small groups may choose to fight, but that is about. When the Democrats steal this election. It looks as the “if” ship has already sailed. They will never be another Conserve elected. Any other elections held will be Stalin era show elections. The people do not realize what they are getting into. But they will learn for themselves in a hurry. The policies of the Democrats are all Satanic in nature. i. e. kill and destroy. But evidently that is what the people want. Until it affects them personally.

You have to build your own network and use your own servers.

That is what Gab is doing.

this requires a theodore roosevelt style antitrust action including if necessary passing new anti trust and/or rico laws.

They just now learning that. They have been building up the nerve to kill us for years. Years ago they thought that we would fight like tigers. As did I.

What a weird sentence. Total non sequitur.

Parler has been hacked.

All their data has been downloaded by the bad guys. The phone numbers & (if you verified yourself as a citizen) the scans of your driver’s license.

Apparently, they don’t delete anything. They only marked it deleted, but kept the data.

Soon, all their (and your) data will be out on the web.

Parler is looking like a security cluster...

Amazon supplies Parler’s backend. Amazon said they were going to shut their servers down Sunday. It seems they did.

I suspect the data breach was part of the coordinated effort this last week to kill Parler. I suspect it has.

I never thought giving your phone number (much less a scan of your driver’s license) was a good idea, hence the reason I was never on Parler.

Camps?

Except, it appears they'll just be tents on the streets for the time being.

They are setting the precedent. This can work in reverse too.

Who is the owner of Snapchat in 2020

1. Tencent Holdings Limited – 13.2%

The Chinese tech giant took the lion’s share of Snapchat’s holdings when it first went public at 12%. In time, it acquired even more shares, increasing its current equities to 145 million with a 13.2% stake as the main shareholder.

I owned Snapchat stock for about 2 years. Paid 18.50 shortly after it came out. It dipped to under ten. I sold it at $24.50. It is $54 today.

I really thought they would get bought by Alphabet or Amazon to compete with FB’s Instagram.
