Parler, a social media application that was closed last month by tech giants, said on Monday that it secured new computer servers and resumed operations.
“We are off the big technology platform, so we can consider ourselves safe and secure for the future,” said Parler CEO Mark Meckler in an interview with Just The News.
Meckler said the platform will employ artificial intelligence and “human editors to police illegal speech that violates its service agreement, but remains true to its freedom of expression, without roots of censorship,” the website said.
Dan Bongino, a prominent user and shareholder of Parler, applauded the change, saying: “The culture of cancellation came to us and hit us with everything they had. However, we could not be kept on the ground. We are back and ready to resume the fight for freedom of expression, data sovereignty and civil discourse. We thank our users for their loyalty during this incredibly challenging period. “
On January 11, the social media platform, which has been used by many right-wing voices since its founding in 2018, went out when Amazon banned the website from its cloud hosting service.
“Amazon suspended Parler from its Amazon Web Services (AWS) unit for violating AWS terms of service by failing to deal with a steady increase in violent content, according to an email from a trusted and secure team at AWS for Parler, seen by Reuters ”, reported the news agency. “An Amazon spokesman confirmed that the letter was authentic.”
Amazon said Parler poses a “very real risk to public security”.
Parler was hit on all sides as major technology companies try to shut it down. Google suspended its app store website on Friday, saying that Parler was unable to moderate “shocking content” posted by users.
Apple also removed the website from its app store.
“We suspended Parler on the App Store until they solve these problems,” Apple said in a statement on Saturday. Apple gave Parler 24 hours to present a detailed plan to moderate its content, claiming that users used the service to coordinate Wednesday’s US Capitol rebellion.
The then CEO John Matze destroyed Amazon, Google and Apple, saying that the technology giants coordinated to end the conservatives. Twitter last week permanently suspended then-President Donald Trump from the platform, saying he violated his terms.
“This was an attack coordinated by the technology giants to eliminate competition in the market … You can expect the war on competition and freedom of expression to continue, but don’t exclude us,” said Matze in a post on Parler after the big tech Pulled the plug. “There is a possibility that Parler will be unavailable on the Internet for up to a week while we rebuild from scratch.”
Just before the site went dark, Matze said the technology companies “all worked together to ensure that, at the same time, we would lose access, not only to our applications, but would also shut down all of our servers tonight, off the Internet. They made an attempt not only to kill the apps, but also to destroy the entire company. And it wasn’t just these three companies, all the providers of text messaging services to email providers and our lawyers also dismissed us in the same day. “
