(ETH) – Things are not looking good for alternative conservative social media platform Parler, after its CEO John Matze just announced that his social media company has been ditched by virtually all of its business alliances following the ditch by Amazon, Apple, and Google ending their agreements with the social media service.
Fox News reported that Matze stated: “Every vendor from text message services to email providers to our lawyers all ditched us too on the same day,” He went on to say that these bans could put Parler completely out of business while raising free speech issues, calling it “an assault on everybody.”
“They all work together to make sure at the same time we would lose access to not only our apps, but they’re actually shutting all of our servers off tonight, off the internet,” Matze said. “They made an attempt to not only kill the app, but to actually destroy the entire company.
And it’s not just these three companies. Every vendor from text message services to email providers to our lawyers all ditched us too on the same day.” Matze went further to state that these services are unfairly targeting Parler. “They’re trying to falsely claim that we’re somehow responsible for the events that occurred on the 6th,” he said, the date of the Capitol building takeover by protesters.
“It would put anybody out of business,” he said of the tech bans. “This thing could destroy anybody.” He concluded with: “We’re going to try our best to get back online as quickly as possible. But we’re having a lot of trouble because every vendor we talk to says they won’t work with us. Because if Apple doesn’t approve and Google doesn’t approve, they won’t.”
