Parler is gone for now as #amazon terminates hosting
After Parler was banned by Apple and Google for failing to curb violent and threatening content on its platform, the social media site is now offline after Amazon terminated its web hosting services. The official Parler website now returns a 403 error, while its app is showing a networking error and can’t load content.
Amazon told Parler of its decision late Saturday, in a letter to chief policy officer Amy Peikoff. Its Amazon Web Service (AWS) “cannot provide services to a customer that is unable to effectively identify and remove content that encourages or incites violence against others,” the letter to Peikoff states, adding that Parler “poses a very real risk to public safety.”
