"This Was A Coordinated Attack": Parler CEO Speaks Out After Amazon Boots From AWS, Vows To Rebuild 'From Scratch'
Update (2210 ET): Parler CEO John Matze has issued a statement (emphasis ours):
Sunday
(tomorrow) at midnight Amazon will be shutting off all of our servers
in an attempt to completely remove free speech off the internet. There
is the possibility Parler will be unavailable on the internet for up to a
week as we rebuild from scratch. We prepared for events like this by
never relying on amazons proprietary infrastructure and building bare
metal products.
We will try our best to move to a new
provider right now as we have many competing for our business, however
Amazon, Google and Apple purposefully did this as a coordinated effort
knowing our options would be limited and knowing this would inflict the
most damage right as President Trump was banned from the tech companies.
This was a coordinated attack
by the tech giants to kill competition in the market place. We were too
successful too fast. You can expect the war on competition and free
speech to continue, but don’t count us out.

Update (2130 ET): And so the hammer has come down late on Saturday, when Amazon officially kicked Parler off its cloud Web hosting service, AWS according to Buzzfeed. The suspension means that once the ban takes effect on Sunday, the website - which as of this moment is still up - will be offline until it finds someone else to host it.

Update (2100 ET): As expected, Apple removed Parler permanently from its app store on Saturday. "[T]here is no place on our platform for threats of violence and illegal activity," the iPhone maker said, according to CNN which adds that Apple notified Parler of its decision in a message that said it had violated the company's app store terms.
"The processes Parler has put in place to moderate or prevent the spread of dangerous and illegal content have proved insufficient," Apple told Parler. "Specifically, we have continued to find direct threats of violence and calls to incite lawless action in violation of Guideline 1.1 - Safety - Objectionable Content."
Apple's notice said Parler's responses to an earlier warning were inadequate, including Parler's defense that it had been taking violent rhetoric on its platform "very seriously for weeks" and that it had a moderation plan "for the time being," according to Apple.
A search for the Parler app as of 8pm showed that the app was no longer there, with the search query returning recommended substitutes:
