On Monday (Feb. 15), Mark Meckler, CEO of social media platform Parler, said the platform is back online and users should be able to log in and use it on Monday.
Just The News reports that the company has found a new service to host the site. Starting at 10 a.m. EST Monday, users will be able to access the Parler site through a desktop program. New users should be able to sign up for accounts within a week, Meikle said.
In early January, Parler was removed from Apple and Google‘s App stores because of what they saw as a lack of control over violent content posted by users; then Amazon removed Parler from its web hosting service, citing “repeated violations” of Parler’s ” Amazon’s terms of service, which Parler denied.
Parler sued Amazon on Jan. 11, demanding that Amazon reinstate its Web hosting service. U.S. District Judge Barbara Rothstein dismissed Parler’s request on Jan. 21.
“We’re off the large technology platform, so we think the future is safe.” Meikle said, but he did not disclose the company hosting Parler’s servers.
“The Culture of cancellation came at us and tipped its hand against us, yet we could not be defeated and came back, ready to resume the fight for freedom of expression, data sovereignty and civil discourse. We thank our users for their unfailing support during this very challenging period.” said Dan Bongino, a political commentator and shareholder in Parler.
A few weeks ago, Parler’s CEO, John Matze, was fired and Meckler took over.
Parler suffered a momentary spike in users after it was taken down by the tech giant following the Nov. 3 U.S. presidential election last year, when conservatives feared censorship and many migrated to Parler from Facebook, Twitter and other social media platforms.
