Despite the attempts of the cabal of Amazon Web Services, Google, Apple, and many other high tech monsters to take it down, Parler has been brought back to life.
It’s unclear if Parler is completely back, but I just logged in and the Legal Insurrection page is up and running and we still have almost 400,000 followers. Our prior “parleys” have not populated yet, but I assume that will take time.
The prior Parler App on my iPhone still doesn’t work.
If it holds, this will be one of the great — perhaps the first great — victory over the Big Tech oligopolies who control so much of our lives.
Parler was falsely blamed as being the hub on which the Capitol Hill Riot was planned, but examination of DOJ indictments shows that Facebook and to a lesser extent Twitter were the central hubs — yet no one shut them down. Fuzzy covered the findings in Parler Vindicated: Study Finds Facebook ‘Far and Away’ Most Used Social Media By Capitol Hill Rioters.
Parler was shut down because it was viewed as a place for Trump supporters, the rest of the excuses were pretext.
It comes none-too-soon, as media and leftist types were relishing the thought of Parler being gone for good.
It’s slowly coming back, via Just The News:
Parler moved to a new computer server farm, and the 20 million users on the platform when Amazon Web Services shut off the social media platform on Jan. 11 can begin using their old app and logins Monday, Interim CEO Mark Meckler told Just the News.Some existing users were already live on Monday morning and the rest should have access by midday after the new servers propagated across the internet. New users should be able to sign up for the service within a week or so, Meckler said.“We are off of the big tech platform, so that we can consider ourselves safe and secure for the future,” Meckler said in an interview.Meckler said the platform is using artificial intelligence and human editors to police for illegal speech that violates its service agreement but otherwise is remaining true to its free speech, no censorship roots.“Cancel culture came for us, and hit us with all they had. Yet we couldn’t be kept down. We’re back, and we’re ready to resume the struggle for freedom of expression, data sovereignty, and civil discourse. We thank our users for their loyalty during this incredibly challenging time,” said Dan Bongino, a prominent Parler user and shareholder.
