Parler, a social media website and app popular with the American far right, has partially returned online with the help of a Russian-owned technology company.

The internet protocol address it used is owned by DDos-Guard, which is controlled by two Russian men and provides services including protection from distributed denial of service attacks, infrastructure expert Ronald Guilmette told Reuters.

One of them told the Guardian recently that he was not aware of all of the content the company facilitates.

Exhibit A: The length that these white terrorists will go to sow and spew their hate. They are willing to align themselves with people and nations who undermine our republic. It is clear this site and it’s subscribers are clear and present dangers to our country. It must end.

And we will all switch to it and leave twatter 👋🏼

Of course. De rigueur under the circumstances , I suppose.

So its finally true that trump was giving information and help to Russians who were finnancing him

LeaKThompson Someone want to tell them about Russia and Internet privacy?

Are we surprised? Do the Trumpeters care they're getting Russian sponsorship? They are getting so played by Russia, it's going to ruin their lives.

Parler isn't up. I just tried. I like to look at their BS!

So it beats the hell out of this information data base, come on over Reuters and let the public say what we really think about you, and nobody for you to cry to.

This cannot be good

The lines are being drawn.

Another Russian fifth column

Well, naturally.

LeaKThompson And-what's funny is all those people giving all their info to the russians lol. Ummmm, anyone else think that's going to be SWEEEEET soon? Go ahead-give them your ssn, credit cards, etc.

*chef’s kiss*

Hurrying our demise is my guess.

Thank God that the Russians are protecting the MAGA 'free speech'!

Coming home eh.

it's your vision of Putin )

Of course.

Russia? You don’t say...

privacy? don't they make you upload a copy of your dl, ss card, and credit card? the russians will love that.

So many awesomes.

I actually love this. The Russians have no qualms about stealing information and using it for extortion.

😢

Since when does RUSSIA work and support Nazis? 🤔🤔🤔🤔

No surprise here.

No kidding.

Well, if Russia is cool with it then we all should be, right? 🤦‍♀️

Logical conclusion to a predictable storyline.

Yes Putin 😊
