Fingers crossed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>On January 11, Amazon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/social-media-platform-parler-goes-dark-as-amazon-suspends-service\">banned<\/a> the social media platform Parler from its cloud hosting service. Amazon said that Parler presented a \u201cvery real risk to public safety,\u201d with Reuters<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/social-media-platform-parler-goes-dark-as-amazon-suspends-service\"><span>reporting<\/span><\/a><span>, \u201cAmazon suspended Parler from its Amazon Web Services (AWS) unit, for violating AWS\u2019s terms of services by failing to effectively deal with a steady increase in violent content, according to an email by an AWS Trust and Safety team to Parler.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This came soon after Parler was also removed from Apple and Google\u2019s app stores, who cited similar concerns regarding the moderation of content. Then-CEO John Matze<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxbusiness.com\/technology\/parler-not-working-offline-down-big-tech-amazon-web-services\"><span>told<\/span><\/a> <span>Fox News that the site will try to \u201cget back online as quickly as possible,\u201d and described the decision by Apple, Google and Amazon as a \u201ccoordinated attack by the tech giants to kill competition in the market place.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Soon after, Parler filed a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/parler-sues-amazon-after-being-suspended\">lawsuit<\/a> against Amazon, \u201cclaiming that Amazon\u2019s suspension of Parler violated antitrust laws and breached the contract between the two entities.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Earlier this week, John Matze announced in a memo sent to employees that he was terminated by the Parler board,<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/parler-ceo-john-matze-tells-employees-that-he-was-terminated-by-board-the-future-of-parler-is-no-longer-in-my-hands\"><span>saying<\/span><\/a> <span>\u201cOver the past few months, I\u2019ve met constant resistance to my product vision, my strong belief in free speech and my view of how the Parler site should be managed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>After Matze\u2019s announcement, Bongino \u201cdisputed\u201d his claims.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI have no personal gripe against John, the CEO, at all; I want to be crystal clear,\u201d Bongino said in a Facebook video on Wednesday, \u201cbut John decided to make this public, not us. We were handling it like gentlemen.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe were the ones, in fact, fighting to get Parler back up. There was some really bad decisions made from people on the inside, and listen, this isn\u2019t us airing dirty laundry,\u201d Bongino continued. \u201cThis is protecting a company that is absolutely committed to free speech, that I put the last year of my life into. Do you actually believe that someone else was on the side of free speech?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Later, Bongino emphasized that the \u201crelationship with Parler and the CEO did not work out because the CEO\u2019s vision was not ours.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cOur vision was crystal clear. We needed to get up and fight back, some terrible decisions were made in the past, that led us to getting put down by Amazon and others,\u201d Bongino added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Unsurprisingly, the issue of content moderation and free speech remained central to Bongino\u2019s statements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201c<\/span><span>We could have been (back) up in a week if we just would have bent the knee and followed all the ridiculous Apple edicts to become a heavy moderation site to the left of Twitter. That\u2019s not what we\u2019re gonna do. \u2026 We were a free speech site and will remain as such and that\u2019s why it\u2019s taken so long to get back up,\u201d Bongino<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/parler-ceo-john-matze-fired\/\"><span>told<\/span><\/a> <span>viewers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
