Parler CEO John Matze and family go into hiding after death threats

[Zorro]

The CEO of Parler, the conservative social media app, and his family have gone into hiding because of death threats and harassment, according to a new court filing.

The documents, obtained by Fox News, show that John Matze and his family have been targeted by people who published his street address and threatened to come in his front door.

Parler, which is a favorite of Trump supporters, was booted off Apple and Google’s platforms after the Capitol riots and Amazon took it off its cloud hosting service, Amazon Web Services.

In response, Parler filed an antitrust lawsuit against Amazon. Amazon countersued, saying Parler’s suit had no valid legal basis and claiming Amazon employees had been threatened and harassed, Fox News reported.

3. A lot of Right Wingers are accusing him of running a honey pot for the FBI.

I suspect this is why he is getting death threats.

18. They do act like French revolutionaries

10. His own mob is turning on him.

Mobs are like that.

Also, reich wingers generally don't know how anything works. ANYTHING they post on ANY social media ANYWHERE on ANY device is fair game. With a little effort, anyone can see it. And it rarely if ever goes away no matter how you delete it. Huge swaths of the interwebs are vacuumed up regularly by various organizations for various reasons. It's all bytes on a server somewhere.

6. That's the thing about mobs....

Sometimes other mobs turn on your mob. Or your own mob turns on you. As a general rule, I don't like mobs.

11. My suggestion.

Stay permanently hidden. No one wants you around.

12. Plotting the demise of American democracy....on the interwebs....

Somewhere, there's Al Qaeda survivors and old IRA operators laughing their fucking asses off at the dumb Americans. If it's electronic, it's not secure and thank God they're fucking dumbasses.

13. What the hell has happened to our country?

These idiots are off the rails. I blame the GOP for normalizing this radicalization.

14. He could move to Russia

15. I'm getting confused.

I'm not sure who wants to kill who? Or does it not matter to them anymore, just got to kill someone.

[FakeNoose]

16. I'm sure Rebekkah Mercer knows how to find him

As I understand it, anybody who wanted a Parler account had to give their real name, address, DL info and Soc.Sec# to create an account. So what happened to that data? Parler just turned it over to the FBI.

Rebekkah and Robert Mercer's previous company was Cambridge Analytica. Does anybody see a pattern here? Hmmmm...

17. Good i hope they hunt you down and tear you apart

[samnsara]

19. a platform here in wash state picked them up I believe..

20. Yes It's a company in Sammamish called Epik but it looks like they are waffling on it

I can't believe it is going to be that welcomed even in that neighborhood. Company says it has no immediate plans to host

People like this CEO and Trump emboldened the neo-Nazis, and now they face the consequences.
