    Parler will be ok and find a new server and will probably double or even triple in size after this. The left has a way of helping out companies when they try to ban things. Think of what happens with gun sales any time a democrat speaks of gun control. Thanks lefties!

    Soon, the far right will be planning their **** with cans and strings. Good!
    All the cloud hosting companies like AWS have pretty much the same TOS. Then again the righty are only about following rules and laws when it can be use to oppress people...

    TOS for what? Can you provide any link of evidence of any rules broken by Parler?

    They’re hosted on AWS. AWS has a term of service document you’ve to agree with. Such document includes rules about violence, incitement, crime, harassment and pornography.

    Thank you for sharing that, but you know that's not what I asked. Please provide any link of proof that Parler broke those rules. I didn't ask for a copy of the rules.

    You serious?
    People on Parler broke those rules and Parler didn’t do **** to remove them, so Parler is ultimately responsible for breaking AWS TOS since those message are ultimately hosted on AWS.

    Nope.

    "In a letter to Parler on Saturday, Amazon said that it had sent the company 98 examples of posts on its site that encouraged violence and that many remained active. “It’s clear that Parler does not have an effective process to comply with” Amazon’s rules, the company said in the letter. Amazon “provides technology and services to customers across the political spectrum, and we continue to respect Parler’s right to determine for itself what content it will allow on its site. However, we cannot provide services to a customer that is unable to effectively identify and remove content that encourages or incites violence against others.”

    What were the 96 violations? Anything like the trending “Hang Mike Pence”?

    I agree. It's all part of a liberal agenda to hurt conservatives.

    98 examples out of probably over a million posts? If that's all they have Then they have nothing.

    Twitter is far worse. This is just a attack on Parler because it's conservatives that use it.

    I have not seen any evidence of anyone inciting violence. Amazon claims to have 98 examples but I have not seen them yet.

    I have been on Parler for awhile now. Nobody is inciting violence. You all are just making stuff up.

    That's not proof of anyone inciting violence.

    The riots and burned down buildings have been from your side. This is just political b's.

    It's just temporary and Parler has done nothing wrong.
