Despite being hosted in Russia, I suspect that it will be deplatformed by most app stores. Since no tech giants want to be associated with hate speech.
I’m not sure where all this hate on parler is coming from. While Twitter allowed the trending of #AssassinateTrump and #killtrump plus all the violence and destruction orchestrated on Twitter during the BLM protests on hundreds of small businesses in America where far more damage and fatalities occurred then the capital riots and big tech especially Apple, Amazon and Facebook were quite about. This is a collaboration…
> far more damage and fatalities Name the fatalities from BLM activities.

What will happen if anti-Putin posts show up on Parler? Will the Parler CEO get poisoned or the site simply goes offline. Any bets?
It's been rumoured (with very good sources) that he happily complied with FBI requests to turn over data. So it wouldn't surprise me if was more than happy to comply with whatever Putin wanted so long as it was kept quiet.

First line: 'Parler, a social media website and app popular with the American far right' Parler is/was essentially a free speech libertarian site with strict rules and guidelines for posts. I find it disturbing that the overwhelmingly US neo conservative liberal media companies slap the label 'far right' on just abut anything that doesn't fit their world view and agenda. Any sort of recognition there are center right…
This is because "far right" has become a code-word for "neo-nazi" and/or "white supremacist/racist", so labeling everything that does no fit their preferred world view as "far right" automatically sets it up to be something so obscene that it should be banned in the minds of their viewership.
And of course, what you see is the beginning of the banning happening right before your eyes.

Strict rules and guidelines that were apparently violated, and they took no action to resolve - this is a paper thin excuse that no one should repeat.
FWIW we don't know where it's hosted now, that's the point of DDoS-Guard, and the Reuters article makes no claim the site is 'hosted by Russia.'
