Parler, the alternative social media platform favored by conservatives, now finds itself virtually homeless on the internet as Amazon, Apple and Google have all booted it from their platforms in a span of a little more than 24 hours. Amazon will remove Parler from its cloud hosting service, Amazon Web Services, Sunday evening, effectively kicking it off of the public Internet after mounting pressure from the public and Amazon employees. The decision, which goes into force on Sunday at 11:59 p.m. Pacific time, effectively shuts down Parler's website until it can find a new Web hosting provider. BuzzFeed News was first to report the move. Parler is an alternative

I don't know why but this reminds me of the 1968 Soviet takeover of Prague, Czechoslovakia, by the Communists. I recall the final message that was sent out by that country's broadcasters, wondering why no one would send help.

It will take about a week for Parler to get back online. We can wait. We implicitly trusted Zukerberg and Dorsey to be fair and decent Americans. They have totally betrayed us. So has Bezos. This attempt to silence opposing political views is vile and un-American. They are evil people. .

So, how many of us are ready and willing to stop using google and Amazon. Until their pocketbooks hurt, they and others will continue to shut EVERY conservative down. Forever.

Astute techies tried to warn people. Parler will not find it easy to get back on. There are a few other minor options but don’t get your hopes up. Many conservatives knew it was coming and moved to Gab, Signal and others.

I have never used Amazon and it has been many years since I used Google to do a search. They both scare me. They are both too powerful.

This cannot be allowed to stand. The Republicans MUST challenge this. It completely destroys the 1st Amendment.
Everyone must also cancel every one of these apps and related services.

All these big companies need to have a lawsuit filed against them by the Justice Department. They should be broken up. Google is too big for its britches.

We use Opera browser, Duck or Bing for searches and never use gmail. Don't pay for Amazon Prime and do our best to shop anywhere other than Amazon in general. None of this has any impact on these tech giants but it makes me feel better.
I hope John Matze is right when he says they'll have Parler back up quickly. We rely on Parler, Instapundit, Rantingly and of course, Lucianne for our news.

I don't know what's going on but I was able to download and install Parler about 30 minutes ago. Works for me.

So, they don't want our side to have a say on their communist sites, but they also don't want US to have our say on our own sites either? Wow! If you can, download the conservative apps even if you don't plan to use them. I did that two days ago, and I don't use any of them. I do use Amazon, but I'm winding that one down too along with PayPal. PayPal was about convenience, but you can save a cc to most sites anyway. Hey, if they don't want my views, they can't have my money either.

Parler is working on finding alternate systems. They were never going to be offline till tomorrow. We all love it and pray they find a way but we need to be adjustable and set up other places too.

It appears it was a blessing that Conservative Treehouse was de-platformed some weeks ago. Sundance already has his new independent platform set up. Perhaps he can help the others get up to speed.
I'm watching the old WWII Nazi spy movies with closer interest in strategies and tactics.

Will we be allowed to use the internet? What about telephones? Can we mail letters? No. Get back in your houses, and put your masks on. Do not say the word fraud. Forbidden. You cannot find any school of children that anybody can tell what to do, but the Republicans will do whatever the Democrats tell them.

Well, thank goodness Christmas is over. I use Amazon to send gifts to Grandchildren in other States. I'm too old to shop, wrap and mail anymore. But, I'm all for a boycott for a week or month of Amazon just to get their attention. Count me in!
