Amazon's suspension of Parler's account means that unless it can find another host, once the ban takes effect on Sunday Parler will go offline.
Amazon on Saturday kicked Parler off its Web hosting services. Parler, a social network favored by conservative politicians and extremists, was used to help plan and coordinate the January 6 attempted coup on Washington D.C. It has recently been overrun with messages encouraging “Patriots” to march on Washington D.C. with weapons on January 19.
Amazon's suspension of Parler's account means that once the ban takes effect on Sunday Parler will be offline until it finds someone else to host it.
Amazon declined to comment on the suspension. Parler has not yet responded to a request for comment.

Sunday (tomorrow) at midnight Amazon will be shutting off all of our servers in an attempt to completely remove free speech off the internet. There is the possibility Parler will be unavailable on the internet for up to a week as we rebuild from scratch. We prepared for events like this by never relying on amazons proprietary infrastructure and building bare metal products.
We will try our best to move to a new provider right now as we have many competing for our business, however Amazon, Google and Apple purposefully did this as a coordinated effort knowing our options would be limited and knowing this would inflict the most damage right as President Trump was banned from the tech companies.
This was a coordinated attack by the tech giants to kill competition in the market place. We were too successful too fast. You can expect the war on competition and free speech to continue, but don’t count us out.

More Info: Parler CEO Says Service Dropped By “Every Vendor” And Could End His Business
"....Parler CEO John Matze said today that his company has been dropped by virtually all of its business alliances after Amazon, Apple and Google ended their agreements with the social media service.
“Every vendor from text message services to email providers to our lawyers all ditched us too on the same day,” Matze said today on Fox News.
Matze conceded that the bans could put the company out of business while raising free speech issues, calling it “an assault on everybody.”
“They all work together to make sure at the same time we would lose access to not only our apps, but they’re actually shutting all of our servers off tonight, off the internet,” Matze said. “They made an attempt to not only kill the app, but to actually destroy the entire company. And it’s not just these three companies. Every vendor from text message services to email providers to our lawyers all ditched us too on the same day.”...."
This is a partial transcript of a Fox News show with Maria Bartiromo.
Bongino needs to team up with Elon Musk, Musk saw this coming and has been putting satellites in space for some time now!! Musk is a genius he could get them up and running in no time!! Musk has had ENOUGH of this BS also!!
fight how? Organize how?
they fight by tearing up cities and by violence. it worked.
If that's the case it should not take a week to restore service, maybe 24 hours of concerted effort.

I expect the President may actually be impeached next week and possibly removed. Too many things are sliding in on a wire.
I hope I am wrong but, be very careful.
...dont need em, they got Vaccines now
and masks made in china with deadly micro crystals in the fabric, delivered by Amazon.....( they know how you voted by the shipping address )
Did your employer hire you to make business decisions based on your personal political leanings?
Trump needs on here.
—
actually Trump should have left twitter and went to Parler months ago
in a way the speed at which this is happening is his fault for not doing just that
I hope so. A Franco would do us well about now. So would a Pinochet.
You’re not kidding. Chrome won’t allow me access gab either.
The chill is growing..
we’d still be right here.. Amazon dumping Paler because of his “baseless” fraud allegations and DC Capital protest.
sorry...I don’t think this is a big deal.
“Did your employer hire you to make business decisions based on your personal political leanings?”
Stupid comment and very ignorant of the factors.
Why would any business desire to do business with a cloud provider that violates their terms of service and uses their political opinions to harm subscribers??
Think of that instead of some juvenile thoughts about my personal opinions.
I’m not on FR much anymore but the last time I was, you were an asshole then as well. WTF is your problem?
They could be held hostage by the big leftist woke tel-coms though, if they throttle back or even shut down the internet backbone traffic to their servers.
If we're talking about anything connected to the internet, or tele-com, we are all ultimately reliant on the leftist woke crowd. There just aren't any conservative or even center right Tier 1 providers that service our country.
Clearly, rules and laws need not apply anymore.
Truly, he needs an intervention. Whether it’s evil or madness, he’s a menace.
I was just trying to access Gab.com to sign up, but the the website isn’t working properly. Either the pages won’t load, or I get a maintenance message.
I agree. He tried to force the issue last month but was overridden. Maybe he could have forced it earlier, but I have my doubts that it would have been successful. It probably takes a digital Tet Offensive like this for the scales to fall from their eyes.
Oh yes. I’ve seen those people. They do not understand you cannot have a free market without free speech.
