As a procession of business vendors severed ties with the two-year-old site following the storming of the US Capitol last week, Matze said in an interview with Reuters on Wednesday that he does not know when or if it will return.After this story was published, Matze added:"I am an optimist. It may take days, it may take weeks but Parler will return and when we do we will be stronger."
Amazon cut off the social media platform, which styles itself as a"free-speech" space and is favored by supporters of US President Donald Trump, from its servers this weekend for failing to effectively moderate violent content. Amazon later ended the program and did not secure funding for Parler, the source said. Matze said the company did not need more funding at the time.
Disinformation researchers have said far-right groups that appeared at the riot maintained a vigorous online presence on alternative platforms including Parler, where they spread violent rhetoric ahead of the unrest.Amazon was not alone in taking action against the social media company. Apple Inc and Alphabet Inc's Google also kicked Parler from their app stores.
ScyllaDB and Twilio said Parler violated their policies over violent content. Slack and Stripe did not immediately respond to Reuters requests to comment.
