Contact Amazon. They control Parlers servers

Amazon's servers are vital to Parlers operation. They themselves just said so on Tucker the chicken pluckers show.


I'm going to point out that nothing less than America's democracy is at stake. And Paler is being used right now to organize the next attack planned for the 19th. There are many posts about bringing weapons last I saw it should be a no brainer for Amazon to clean up this squalor that is Parler.

This is the VHTF e-mail. Update..IT IS NOT VALID

Sorry-I was given a bogus e-dress by the online CS person. See below or use the chat feature.

Apple, Google and Microsoft are the key. Google has already removed Parler from Play store. Apple has suspended Parler from the App store for 24 hours and it will probably be permanent tomorrow.

Microsoft can remove the Parler app from Windows as well.

Access to Parler is where the attack should be -- where they store their data is immaterial.

None of the apps will function without the servers, nor will the website.

Wondering if enough letters promising not to use Amazon marketplace while Parler is hosted by the same company.

And about the plans for a January 17 attack per https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/08/twitter-permanently-suspends-trumps-account.html. Surely their TOS were violated and their legal team should be concerned about liability here, at the very least. I told them I will take my web business elsewhere if they don't take action.

Asked them to disable parler.com. We have been their customer for years. Surely we're not the only ones contacting them about this. I hope they wake up and do the right thing.
