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.
So you blame Lin Wood for Parler’s illegal ejection?
You are not very smart, are you?
No, order more from Amazon. Expensive stuff.
Then return it:)
They have all but published the time tables for their plans on wiping us out.
Maybe for chit chat. But because FR cannot host pictures or media then it makes it very unattractive to modern internet folk.
Many of us can’t get gab to load the last few days. So that is useless to some. Some people can get on, and I am not sure what the difference is.
Who hosts the Free Republic?
I’m not sure Amazon has wargamed out their dip into fascistic political activism. They have soft targets in basically every city in the country. 7 or 8 warehouses just here in Jacksonville, FL. Not that I am suggesting anything...
Is it “pro-Trump”? People who don’t support Trump aren’t allowed on the platform? I doubt that’s true.
This is spin.
Free Republic has it’s own hardware infrastructure. Jim Robinson was a prescient genius.
I don’t agree with Wood’s statements being posted.
But if you think Amazon was not going to do this no matter what then you have the wool pulled over your eyes.
The truth is that this has nothing to do with Wood or violence. This is about complete communist control of the media, and therefore complete control over you.
If you can’t see that, then time to wake up. You will living Chinese very soon.
Truth!
Didn’t facebook livestream the mass shooting in New Zealand? Nobody booted them for that. Then there was the crazy black guy that killed the white reporter on live TV. Then uploaded it to twitter and FB. Nobody took them down for that either. There is a clear double standard here.
Is Gab like Twitter? I know nothing about it.
Discontinued my as well.
The key word is “uninhibited.” Members of social media sites shouldn’t sit apathetic when views that conflict with their humane principles are expressed. That way, those who have no consideration of other peoples values do not think they can have their uninhibited way with other people.
Yes, I think so, I saw mention that it performs like Twitter more so than Parler and I agree, Parler doesn’t perform much like Twitter. I’ve not tried Gab yet because the maintenance going on doesn’t let you sign up atm.
Bongino says he is a PART owner of parler
And I think a co-founder.
So are the courts, especially the US SUPINE Court.
[ on my way to cancel Amazon Prime right now ]
Im glad I never got Amazon Prime.
These past few days have been appalling. The speed at which fascism is taking hold in our country is breathtaking...
