Yeah, we were number one until the fake news rage mob at Twitter and your anti-competitive friends went after us. That’s real cute.

We are the closest thing to competition Facebook or Twitter has seen in many years. I believe Amazon, Google, Apple worked together to try and ensure they don’t have competition.
They will NOT win! We are the worlds last hope for free speech and free information.
What they are doing is unprecedented, unfounded and absolutely disgusting. Shameful.
This is a battle against all of us. Liberals, conservatives, atheists, Christians, black, white, etc. They want to keep their monopoly over speech. They want us fighting. They don’t want us working together. They don’t want us working with each other, they want us hating one another.
Parley - brings two people with conflicting ideas together. Our mission is free speech, democracy and us the people having the power. The elite don’t want us to be free, they want hate division and power!

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.

Apple will be banning Parler until we give up free speech, institute broad and invasive policies like Twitter and Facebook and we become a surveillance platform by pursuing guilt of those who use Parler before innocence.
They claim it is due to violence on the platform. The community disagrees as we hit number 1 on their store today. The same day “Hang Mike Pence”, a disgusting violent suggestion, was trending nationally on Twitter. Displaying the horrible double standard Apple and their big tech pack apply to the community.
Apple, a software monopoly, provides no alternatives to installing apps on your phone other then their store. We do not own our phones, Apple simply rents them to us. Apple, Google and the rest of the anti-competitive pack of big tech tyrants coordinate their moves and work together to stifle competition in the marketplace.
More details about our next plans coming soon as we have many options.

Google never had a conversation with us about an objective standard. Our position is that all the content they wanted us to remove was already removed or existed only on Twitter.
Their employees met with multiple people on our team a week ago via zoom. After they realized the call was being recorded they asked for clarity then they claimed they didn’t know how to properly use zoom and asked to reschedule the call. They never did and we have not spoken since.
We first heard about their decision in the press.

Do my former co-workers at AWS realize calls to violence are against our TOS... What are you trying to accomplish? Right now people are suppose to come together, calls to cancel people and remove free speech will radicalize people more.
- Customer loyalty isn’t built when you call to drop their services
- Ownership for your ideas. Do you have any evidence to back your claim besides screenshots off Twitter which don’t exist on Parler?
- Are you Right? Is this the correct decision?
- Does this call to cancel show a willingness or desire to learn or be curious?
- Does this earn more customer trust?
- How many of you have accounts with Parler and have any first hand experiences? This doesn’t show you are diving deep.
- Delivering results and solving problems. In this case, working with your clients to solve problems together.

First time I completely read Google’s explanation for the ban. They never sent me a copy
Guess they arnt really concerned about the “violence” that is against our rules anyway. If they actually cared, they would try to help. Not dump the app and send a break up public statement. What a horrible way to handle this.
Can you imagine breaking up with a girlfriend that way? Hi Buzzfeed, tell the world my girlfriend and I are through because I like her sister Twitter more and she asked me to call things off. Thanks

AOC called to have Parler removed for promoting violence.... all her evidence were screenshots banned accounts that Twitter was hosting
Only 6 months after she encouraged people to riot and make people uncomfortable for change....
You seriously can’t make this kind of hypocrisy up.

Violence and coordinating riots, coordinating rebellions and coordinating insurrections has no place on social media.
It’s sad this need to be said because I thought that was pretty obvious. Most people on Parler are non-violent people who want to share their opinions, food pics and more. We value free speech per what the US constitution allows. What the media is doing is by continuing to attack is disgusting. We need to get together and Parley and heal and move on.

This is not an attack on Parler. This is an attack on our basic civil liberties and right to free speech. They know that the most powerful thing in the world is your voice and 1A.

Anyone who buys an Apple phone is apparently a user. Apperently they know what is best for you by telling you which apps you may and may not use.
Apparently they believe Parler is responsible for ALL user generated content on Parler. Therefor by the same logic, Apple must be responsible for ALL actions taken by their phones. Every car bomb, every illegal cell phone conversation, every illegal crime committed on an iPhone, Apple must also be responsible for....
Standards not applied to Twitter, Facebook or even Apple themselves, apply to Parler.

The media tried to claim that "The Insurrection" was organized on Parler. There are quite a few problems with this.
1) Parler has no way to organize anything, Facebook groups was used heavily to organize the protests.
2) Protests are constitutionally protected.
3) Bad actors turned the protest into a riot.
I know the media and everyone wants to point fingers and place blame. It is convenient for them to turn Parler into a scape goat. The reality that everyone pointing fingers is to blame. We need to start thinking critically again and stop blaming one another. We MUST try to humanize one another again not dehumanize by leveraging witch hunt tactics which will accomplish the opposite of their intended purposes.

It seems to me that many in the elite class do not look in mirrors. They advocate for violence and riots for months. They ignore riots lighting DC on fire. Congresswomen call for violence and rioting them ask Twitter to censor people sharing their words....
According to the authoritarian’s who want to “heal this country” it can only be done through corporate and digital cleansing. Apparently healing doesn’t mean having a discussion as a country and coming together, it means canceling every idea they don’t like.
Book burning online. Book burning through the corporate elite. Smashing the career prospects of those with the wrong ideas. We all know what happens next.
Why don’t the elite put down their pitch forks and follow their own advice. Time to heal. Time to talk.

Since everyone is going on a condemnation spree I would like to contribute a few things I condemn:
1) Violence and breaking property.
Let me go into more that I condemn that the media seems comfortable with:
2) Slave children Mining cobalt for batteries
3) Underpaid and poorly treated farmers preparing coffee beans
4) Slaves sewing shoes
5) News agencies glorifying riots when their allies burns down a city and even promote books such as “the defence of looting”
6) Religious based internment of the FalunGong
7) War (unilaterally)
8) Taxation
9) The murder of ANY person (white and black) by police
10) Destruction of private business
11) Promoting one ethnicity group’s businesses over another’s simply due to their skin color
I condemn hypocrisy. Yesterday was horrible. It got out of control. But the last thing I want to hear is a barrage of inconsistent media hypocrites telling me what to condemn. I can think for myself thank you.

Facebook & Instagram just banned President Trump indefinitely.
Yep, that’ll do it. Suppressing the President is a great way to get people to SHUT UP & OBEY.
The big-tech leftists just made Trump’s free speech—he’ll find another way—even more powerful.

If free speech truly is the enemy and we must restrict and censor the voices of people to keep our country safe then our country is already lost.
If one man’s voice is a threat to our nation but his holding of the presidential office is not, than it is apparent the powers of the presidency are less powerful than a single voice. Why should any of us settle to giving up our rights to free speech?
It’s clear that Facebook and Twitter believe the ends justify the means. They believe the American people are weak. They insult our founding fathers by suggesting Zuckerburg and Dorsey know what is best for us.
Parler is not an arbiter of truth. We believe in you. We believe you are wise enough to decide for yourself and trust that given access to all information we can self govern. The solution is clear. If you believe in free speech, and our founding principles of our republic, then we must liberate others by promoting free speech Parler.
