derpmonster Pronounshe Popster to Popster 2,596 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 (edited) Amazon is finally doing something good. It's so nice to see something finally happening about the conservative to fascist pipeline on the internet that feeds people disinformation and radicalizes them. Parler is about to be banned by AWS (their website hosting service without which they can't be accessed) for repeated violations of ToS including failure to remove violent content. The DC attacks were coordinated and planned largely on this site that brands itself as "free speech" when in reality it does promote only one side. They can still continue to exist online but they will need a new host. No major provider is likely to allow them (Microsoft Azure is the biggest alternative). They also believe they're being "censored" in a "coordinated" attack so they want to be independent but I can personally tell you hosting from your own servers is a nightmare and a bad idea and is bound to fail due to security and logistical (storage etc.) reasons long term. This comes after Parler was removed from the Google Play Store first and then the Apple App Store. The evil is being defeated. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/johnpaczkowski/amazon-parler-aws An example of the unhinged content on this site (response to the announcement that the Amazon ban is occurring within 24 hours): Edited January 10, 2021 by derpmonster 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunade The Popster 149 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 It’s about time someone put their foot down and did something about the growing dumpster fire that is the internet. I understand it could be near impossible to contain negative content online, we are human at the end of the day, but I am totally here for censoring this type of content forever. In an every changing world I don’t think there is a place for extreme conservatives who refuse to acknowledge that we are all individuals with different wants and needs. Good riddance and I hope none of these big companies back down. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GitHub Pronounsshe/her Popster to Popster 3,752 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Apparently archive teams have scraped between ~80TB of data before the site went down. There are some conflicting reports about what was actually scraped & by whom, but @donk_enby on Twitter seems to be the most reliable source right now. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
