However, tech giants decided to ban Parler — a message to other social platforms to not go against the wave — as some right-wingers described it. Still, the company didn’t settle for the rules imposed by Google, Amazon, or Facebook.

Few days after the U.S. capitol storming, Google, Facebook, and Amazon said that they banned the social network. They argued that the app incited violence and failed to comply with the technology companies’ policy. Companies that banned both Trump and Parler added they would only allow the social network to be back online if they adjust their privacy and safety policy.

Consequently, Parler filed a lawsuit against Amazon and accused the e-commerce multi-billion company of breaking its contract and alleging it of anti-trust violations. However, a federal judge said that the contract allowed Amazon of terminating the social network’s service and refused Parler’s request of bringing the hosting back.

Parler had over 15 million users before it went offline. The social platform was one of the few apps in the United States to gather as many users in a very short period of time. And according to the New York Times, the company is financed by Republican Rebekah Mercer. In conclusion, Parler’s co-founder and chief executive John Matze said that he was fired by Ms. Mercer.
