Amazon has announced they are pulling Parler off their web infrastructure. They are free to rent their own hosting from another provider, or buy their own computers and peer to the internet.

"Half the country" isn't active enough with their social media to even notice a new platform, regardless of which side of the political spectrum they are on.

Turns out the net's administrators interpret some signal as damage and also route around it.

Yep. Minutes behind. Curious to see how long this knocks Parler offline.
