Next step: your internet provider will not resolve parler.com. First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out — Because I was not a socialist.

More like "First they came for the violent criminals"

I do not support this action. Public safety concerns should route through law enforcement, not AWS.

Huh. It's already off the front page, or I wouldn't have submitted this.

I think the best plan of action is creating a new decentralized free speech platform, as resilient as a cockroach, blockchain or scihub.

I’ve sent a message to sama & pg asking to add this to the YC list of ‘requests for startups’. I hope they hear.

For those lurking, this is a tremendous opportunity and real need as you have half the country desperate to let their voice be heard while being aggressively silenced and de-platformed for political reasons.
