So we all thought that Parler would be a viable alternative to Twitter. Alas, Shane Trejo at Big League Politics reports:
The alternative social media
provider Parler is back online after inexplicably relying on Amazon to provide their
initial web hosting, but apparently the operatives behind the platform have not
learned their lesson for the relaunch.
Parler’s new hosting provider,
SkySilk, has a
blanket ban on all “hateful material” without specifying what that
term exactly means.
“We specifically reserve the right
to refuse to provide the Service to customers or End Users engaged in
dissemination of material that may cause us to be subject to attacks on our network,
or that while technically legal, run counter to our corporate principles,”
SkySilk wrote in their terms of service.
So Parler, while advertising itself
to be a free speech platform, will really be operating off and dependent on the
“corporate principles” of a far-left tech company.
The full report is here. The online definition of Parler at not-so-reliable Wikipedia is here and it's not pretty.
