Parler will likely go offline for 'a while' Sunday evening given Amazon Web Services' decision to suspend the upstart social media platform after Wednesday's U.S. Capitol riot, executives said Sunday.

Amazon says the move was made for violating AWS' terms of services by failing to effectively deal with a steady increase in violent content, according to an email by an AWS Trust and Safety team to Parler, seen by Reuters.An Amazon spokesperson confirmed the letter was authentic.

When asked if there are alternate servers Parler can move to, Peikoff said, “We're working and scrambling to do this, but it’s not something that you can do really quickly so there’s a good chance that we will be down for a while.

“We don't want this content on our platform of course,” Peikoff said. “It is not only illegal, but it’s contrary to our mission because we are trying to provide a nonpartisan town square in which people of varying viewpoints can have productive discussions and force and threats of force stop those discussions, in fact they stop thinking so it is the opposite of what we want.”At the same time we strongly believe that Orwell's ‘Nineteen Eighty-Four’ is a dystopian novel,” she continued.

Parler is like a KKK meeting but mixing in an angry political cult!

I’ve been saying that communism has now taken over the Democratic Party and that single party now controls are lives. Freedom is dead, the constitution will be disassembled and destroyed

It’s a FREE social media platform. It’s not a loss of freedom of speech! IMO...Its not ok nor should is ever be ok to type whatever you want without consequences....

Banning disinformation from social media is a start. The same needs to be done to radical right wing outlets like Faux News and right wing radio. Truth will heal us.

You are more concerned for a website built to organize terrorists than you are at finding those responsible for executing a coup on our Capitol!!! What high level of goals and lawmakers participated in helping further this coup? Who blocked help? Who opened doors?

When you plan an armed invasion of your Capital it could get a little shitty

Never got it anyway.

You need to take the fair share of responsibility of the blood on your hands and the dysfunction that you have caused in this country. You betrayed your own home and people. Of all things the cancel generation should hit, it is you.

Terrorists and criminals. Good riddance.

The misinformed Americans have taken a beating in the past week. Unfortunately they won't realize they are idiots

This is what was planned and executed by the people using social media. That you think they deserve a right to continue to engage in seditionist behaviors speaks volumes about your commitment to America and your understanding of our laws.

In the meantime, let’s know the alt-right and co.:
