Nuked Social media platform parler was all but wiped off the Internet last week. A message from parler CEO John matze is now appearing at the site’s URL.
‘we believe privacy is paramount and free speech essential, especially on social media,’ the message reads. Pledging to’welcome all of you back soon’.
Amazon dropped parler from its hosting platform earlier this month. parler was identified as a site where people who participated in the deadly January 6th assault on the Capitol had planned the attack.
The suspension followed Apple and Google removing parler’s app from their respective app stores. matze said even parler’s lawyers had cut ties.
Parler sued Amazon for cutting off its hosting. In a response, Amazon detailed some of the threats posted to the site that led to its removal.
Parler’s less-strict moderation policies were a draw for new users. parler launched in 2018, and its user numbers soared after Election Day in the US.
