Reuters) – Parler, a social media website and app popular with the American far right, has partially returned online with the help of a Russian-owned technology company. Parler vanished from the internet when dropped by Amazon Inc’s hosting arm and other partners for poor moderation after its users called for violence and posted videos glorifying the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. On Monday, Parler’s website was reachable again, though only with a message from its chief executive saying he was working to restore functionality. The internet protocol address it used is owned by DDos-Guard, which is controlled by two Russian men and provides services including protection from distributed denial of service attacks, infrastructure expert Ronald Guilmette told Reuters. If the website is fully restored, Parler users would be able to see and post comments. Most users prefer the app, however, which remains banned from the official Apple Inc and Google stores. Parler CEO John Matze and representatives of DDoS-Guard did not reply to requests for comment. Last Wednesday, Matze told Reuters the company was in talks with multiple service providers but declined to elaborate. Nick Note: We are on dangerous ground here. Hate speech is still free speech and is protected. Who censors the censors. Since the bill of rights supports the overthrow (abolishment) of government under special conditions should it be censored? “We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are … endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights…. That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men…. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Where does it end? Let all ideas and opinions see the light of day no matter how abhorrent and let the people sort it out for themselves.
