EO John Matze told Reuters on Wednesday that much about the app and website is still up in the air after businesses cut ties to the company. Amazon said it removed Parler from its cloud-hosting service because the social media platform was not effectively moderating and removing violent content. Now Matze says the company’s fate is uncertain.
Journalist and former civil rights lawyer Glenn Greenwald spoke to Tucker Carlson on Tuesday night about the power of big tech and the scapegoating of Parler in the wake of the Capitol Hill riot.
President Donald Trump warned Tuesday that the efforts by Big Tech companies to deplatform him and his supporters was a “big mistake” that would only anger more Americans.
AR15.com, the biggest gun forum in the world, was deplatformed on Monday by web hosting company GoDaddy.
“ARFCOM IS DOWN. We’ve been booted from GoDaddy and are looking for an alternative solution,” the site announced Monday afternoon on Twitter.
On Monday, Parler registered its domain and server to be hosted by Epik, an internet webhosting company known for working with right-leaning websites. Gab, another social media platform popular with conservatives, also uses Epik. A web domain search shows that Parler is now registered with Epik.
We are just beginning to absorb what the deactivation of Parler from the coordinated hit by the tech giants means on the communications front going forward. After becoming delisted by Apple and Google the social platform was entirely taken down from the servers of Amazon AWS, where it resided. As of today, Parler has no services as it looks for alternatives, but now some more details emerge behind the decision.
In 1964, an Ohio Ku Klux Klan leader named Clarence Brandenburg told a Cincinnati-based reporter that his hate group would soon be holding a rally in a rural area of Hamilton County. In the filmed portions of that rally, which later became the focus of legal prosecution, robed men, some with guns, could be seen burning a cross and making speeches, infamously demanding “revengeance” against Blacks (they used another word, of course), Jews, and the white politicians who were supposedly betraying their own “caucasian race.” They also revealed a plan for an imminent march on Washington, D.C.
Facebook issued a statement saying that it was removing all content with the phrase, used by supporters of President Trump to question the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, because it violates the company’s policy against “coordinating harm.” Facebook said that it made the decision in light of the pro-Trump riot in the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
But make no mistake. There has been a coup attempt in America this week. The globalist American regime has effectively overthrown Donald Trump two weeks early, and is now moving to secure its power.
The lawsuit, which was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington, alleges that Amazon violated antitrust laws because their decision to terminate Parler’s account was politically motivated and designed to reduce competition between social media companies. Parler, which has positioned itself as the free speech alternative to Twitter, claims that Amazon worked together with Twitter in order to reduce competition.
Cancel culture doesn’t exist, they say. And yet with the flick of a switch, billionaire capitalists voted for by precisely nobody have just silenced a man who is still the democratically elected president of the United States. With the push of a button in their vast temples to technology, the new capitalist oligarchs of Silicon Valley have prevented a man who won the second largest vote in the history of the American republic just two months ago — 74million votes — from engaging with his supporters (and critics) in the new public square of the internet age.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know Tim Berners-Lee is a pretty important dude in the technology world. He’s the father of the Internet, responsible for the birth of the World Wide Web as we know it.
And he hates what it has become. So he’s taking some action to fix it.
What we have been witnessing in just the past few days should shock every single one of us – even if you are a leftist. When even the President of the United States and others have their ability to speak freely ripped away from them by the likes of Facebook or Apple or Twitter or Google or YouTube then you know the dark cloud of tyranny and fascism has indeed descended upon America and the West.
The great news is, there are many amazing options to stay connected to each other and to the news. They aren’t all as evolved as the multi-billion dollar corporations you are used to, but most are competent technically and already have many users. Also, you may find that some of the platforms provide better functionality than the legacy media you are leaving.
Meet the Gab Phone.
Yes, it’s real.
The Big Tech data mining silo must come down.
We will no longer be serfs on your digital plantation.
You will no longer control our digital destiny.
You can’t stop the signal.
