Parler was taken off the web after Amazon and tech companies removed it from their platforms. The microblogging and social networking site tried to find a way to return online and a few weeks after ousting its CEO John Matze, it has returned on the internet.
Parler is active again after a brief hiatus
Parler has been inactive for more than a month since Amazon kicked it out and this week, the company announces its relaunch. On Feb. 15, the site is back and apparently, the executives have found a new firm that can host their platform.
“Parler’s new platform is built on robust, sustainable, independent technology,” Fox Business quoted the company as saying in a statement.
The company had a difficult time getting its site back online and it also faced controversies including the incident when one of its founders and CEO, John Matze, was removed from the firm. After negotiations, it has finally returned but the name of its new hosts was not mentioned.
The new chief and beginning
Before Parler was dropped by Amazon, it only had 1.5 million users and now that it has returned, it reportedly recorded a surge of sign-ups and now has over 20 million users. Obviously, the controversies despite being bad helped a great deal in making people aware that Parler exists.
The firm is starting a new and on its relaunch announcement, it was also revealed that Matze has been replaced with Mark Meckler. He is acting as the interim Chief Executive which means the board will still choose someone to permanently sit as the CEO.
“When Parler was taken offline in January by those who desire to silence tens of millions of Americans, our team came together, determined to keep our promise to our highly engaged community that we would return stronger than ever,” Forbes quoted Meckler as saying during the relaunch. “We’re thrilled to welcome everyone back.”
Meanwhile, Parler was dropped by Amazon and its app was taken down by tech companies like Apple. This happened after the deadly U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6 and Parler was accused of failing to regulate and remove violent content that may have contributed to the rampage staged by supporters of Donald Trump.
