The conservative social network, Parler, was forced offline on Monday, tracking websites showed, after Amazon warned the company would lose
access to its servers for failure to properly police violent content.

"Amazon Web Services (AWS) will shut down servers run by Parler, whose
apps have also been removed from the Apple App Store and Google Play.
The social network has advised users it will therefore be offline for up
to a week while it rebuilds its service and accused big tech of
conspiring to shut it down."

it's a slightly different take on the whole thing.

also worthy of mention:

"On LinkedIn a sales manager for HPC-as-a-service company Penguin
Computing offered to host Parler so it may yet find an alternative host."

There _IS_ still hope - and the way we *BEGIN* to COMBAT this is by
REBELLING AGAINST IT!

The conservative social network, Parler, was forced offline on Monday,
tracking websites showed, after Amazon warned the company would lose
access to its servers for failure to properly police violent content.

In an email first obtained by BuzzFeed News, Amazon Web Services told Parler’s chief policy officer, Amy Peikoff, the social media platform violated Amazon’s terms of service by failing to remove calls for violence.

The site’s popularity soared in recent weeks, becoming the number one
free app in Apple’s App Store after much larger Twitter banned US
President Donald Trump from its platform for his role in inciting a
deadly riot at the United States Capitol last week.

Keep in mind, _THIS_ is a _DISTORTION_ of the facts.. and JUST how many
of those ANTIFA PUSSIES have been using 'social media' for THEIR communications, hmmmm???


Simultaneously, it's only competitor *TWATTER* did a *FULL* *BAN* on our president!! This is what you call the EPITOME of ANTI-FREE-SPEECH,
which is *SPECIFICALLY* *PROTECTED* by the 1st Ammendment to the U.S. Constitution!!!


Well, OTHER than being a bunch of TYRANNICAL UNCONSTITUTIONAL
TECHNO-BULLIES, these *ASS*HATS* apparently *FEEL* they can *MANIPULATE*
us into *COMPLIANCE* through *BULLYING* and *THREATS* and ... *CANCEL* *CULTURE* !!!

In conclusion, let me quote Admiral Yamomoto from 1941:

"I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with
a terrible resolve."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isoroku_Yamamoto's_sleeping_giant_quote

from the link, "while Yamamoto may never have said those words, the
film's (Tora Tora Tora) producer, Elmo Williams, had found the line
written in Yamamoto's diary"

Also interesting, a quote "dubiously attributed to Napoleon":

"China is a sickly, sleeping giant. But when she awakes the world will tremble."

In any case, REPUBLICANS and CONSERVATIVES and LIBERTARIANS have been
*TOO* *COMPLACENT*. It's how we GOT here.

If you WANT TO KEEP YOUR RIGHTS, it looks like we're going to have to *ACTUALLY* *FIGHT* *FOR* *THEM*.

Or, you can be a WUSS and "just take it". Your choice.
