Parler CEO John Matze said today that his social media company has been dropped by virtually all of its business alliances after Amazon, Apple and Google ended their agreements with the social media By Bruce Haring Parler CEO John Matze said today that his social media company has been dropped by virtually all of its business alliances after Amazon, Apple and Google ended their agreements with the social media service. “Every vendor from text message services to email providers to our lawyers all ditched us too on the same day,” Matze said today on Fox News. Matze conceded that the bans could put the company out of business while raising free speech issues, calling it “an assault on everybody.” “They all work together to make sure at the same time we would lose access to not only our apps, but they’re actually shutting all of our servers off tonight, off the internet,” Matze said. “They made an attempt to not only kill the app, but to actually destroy the entire company. And it’s not just these three companies. Every vendor from text message services to email providers to our lawyers all ditched us too on the same day.” The remarks come a day after Amazon dropped Parler from its servers, joining Apple and Google. They all cited the potential of spreading violent content on the site, which is favored by conservatives as an alternative to Twitter and Facebook. Matze said that the services are unfairly targeting Parler. “They’re trying to falsely claim that we’re somehow responsible for the events that occurred on the 6th,” he said, the date of the Capitol building takeover by protesters. “It would put anybody out of business,” he said of the tech bans. “This thing… Read More

It was a marvel WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, was still standing this Monday, January 4, 2021 as British courts stopped his extradition to US, where he is guilty even before making a plea. WikiLeaks has been firing from all cylinders propelling a universal movement exposing secrets the powerful and the corrupt want concealed from humanity. In the last decade, Assange had holed up for seven years in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London where his view of the world was from the balcony. He has spent subsequent time in the Belmarsh Prison, London, where he is still being held because two days after his victory, the same court denied him bail pending the appeal of the Americans. All these have negatively rubbed off on his physical and perhaps mental health. In these ten years, his life was constantly endangered not only by the high possibility of some of the deadliest secret services in the world abducting, poisoning or liquidating him, but also rogue elements trying to make their nightmare, history. In a sane world, rather than being hunted and endangered, Assange would have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for significantly advancing Article 19 of the United Nations Human Rights Declaration. That Article states: “Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.” How many humans have sacrificed so much for the right to freedom of expression and information like Assange? How many have struck heavier blows against naked power, the powerful and the corrupt than Assange? He is more deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize than Barack Obama who got it one year into… Read More
