Parler CEO John Matze said today that his social media company has been dropped by virtually all of its business alliances after Amazon, Apple and Google ended their agreements with the social media service.

“Every vendor from text message services to email providers to our lawyers all ditched us too on the same day,” Matze said today on Fox News.

And be clear -- Parler is not just a conservative site. Sure lots of conservatives but lots of all kinds over there.

The key is -- there really are no rules so people post all kinds of things.......

And before you all get defensive -- it isn't just conservatives. The issue is not that it is left or right -- it is unmonitored.

So they have to figure out how to operate with that kind of a business model.

I guess the right wing nut cases can go back to using AOL dialup.

Yeah, doesn't hurt that they can destroy their competition legally. After Twitter goes years where anything goes, now they get to control who they are in competition with Maybe Amazon will get to put Wal-Mart out of business next??

Reddit, 4chan, and others operated in similar fashion like that for years with no issues or outrage.

Not much. Which means only Parler can shut themselves down.

It is as long as there isn't anti trust laws that have been violated. Just because you feel like parlour is evil or what ever, doesn't mean their completion is operating legally. Well, unless your competition has paid off the right Politicians

If being unmonitored was a good business model -- Twitter would stop moderating their site.

With any of these apps it is about adding users and getting ads. End of story. It is how they make money.

You don't make money being a dump site for a bunch of garbage posters.

Hav eyou been on Parler?

It's a hot mess.
