The silencing of conservative discourse on social networks has turned into a “coordinated effort” by major technologists to shut down Parler, according to the socialization platform CEO John Matze.
“This was a coordinated attack by the technology giants to kill competition in the market,” Matze’s statement reads. “It simply came to our notice then.
“You can expect the war on competition and freedom of expression to continue, but don’t count us. #Speakfreely.”
Matze’s statement comes as Amazon removes the platform from its internet servers, which could lead the conservative social networking platform down for about a week.
“At midnight on Sunday, Amazon will shut down all our servers in an attempt to completely remove free expression from the Internet,” he wrote. “There is a possibility that Parler will not be available on the internet for up to a week, as we rebuild from scratch.
“We have prepared for such events, never relying on Amazon’s exclusive infrastructure and building empty metal products.”
Matze called Amazon, Google and Apple because they orchestrated the “coordinated effort.”
“We will try our best to move to a new supplier right now, because we have many competing for our business; however, Amazon, Google and Apple have done this intentionally as a coordinated effort, knowing that our options will be limited and knowing that this would cause the most damage, as President Trump has banned technology companies. “
