[b]Parler CEO John Matze fired as site fights to restore its online presence[/b]
“The Parler board controlled by Rebekah Mercer decided to immediately terminate my position as CEO of Parler,” the memo said. “I did not participate in this decision.”
In [link=https://www.facebook.com/watch/live/?v=717334082309162&ref=watch_permalink]a Facebook video confirming Matze’s ouster[/link], Parler co-founder Dan Bongino disputes Matze’s account and describes infighting at Parler’s upper levels.
” … The relationship with Parler and the CEO did not work out because the CEO’s vision was not ours. … Our vision was crystal clear. We needed to get up and fight back. Some terrible decisions were made in the past that lead … us to getting pulled down by Amazon and others. It was … me and the two other owners that were constantly on the side of this site was gonna be a free speech platform or it was gonna be nothing.”

[b]COMMENTS ON TRUMP SUSPENSION FLOOD OVERSIGHT BOARD
[/b]
Facebooks former chief security officer is among a group [link=https://www.politico.com/f/?id=00000177-8e40-df6c-abf7-ae726a9b0000]writing today to the Facebook Oversight Board[/link] urging the independent body against allowing Trump back on the platform. (Friday is [link=https://subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2021/02/facebooks-supreme-court-extends-deadline-for-comment-on-trumps-suspension-3986846]the deadline for public input[/link] on the boards case on whether the social network should reverse its decision to indefinitely suspend the former president.) The letter, shared first with POLITICO via Morning Score, is being submitted to the oversight board in response to its request for public comment.
[b] Facebook veteran Alex Stamos[/b], who is now director of the Stanford Internet Observatory, signed onto the letter led by election expert Rick Hasen that said Facebook had made the correct decision. While they acknowledged the dangers of banning a political leader, Trumps actions justified the step of indefinitely deplatforming him, they wrote, concluding: There no doubt will be close calls under a policy that allows the deplatforming of political leaders in extreme circumstances. This was not one of them.
[b] Among the other signees [/b]were Janai Nelson of the NAACP-LDF and Norm Ornstein, an emeritus scholar at the American Enterprise Institute. And they made clear they also hold Facebook responsible: Without social media spreading Trumps statements, they wrote, it seems extremely unlikely these events would have occurred.[/QUOTE]

[link=https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/15/technology/parler-back-online.html]Parler comes back Online
[/link]
on Monday, for the first time since Jan. 10, typing parler.com into a web browser returned a page to log into the social network a move that had required weeks of work by the small company and that had led to the departure of its chief executive.
Parler executives did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Monday.
It was unclear how Parler had figured out how to host its site on computer servers, the central technology underpinning any website. Many of the large web-hosting firms had previously rejected it. For other services required to run a large website, Parler relied on [link=https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/19/technology/parler-russian-company.html]help from a Russian firm[/link] that once worked for the Russian government and a Seattle firm that once supported a neo-Nazi site.

its not impossible to just DIY. Just need to find a spot to put equipment. Theres plenty of small shops that would be happy to rent you some space and not ask what for. What would be hard is procuring your own gear in a timely fashion right now.
Also I thought the Ruskies were going to host this garbage.

Parler should have never been removed in the first place. Most violence starts on Facebook if that’s going to be your set standard. Although they should all exist IMO.

[link=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/twitter-sues-texas-ag-ken-paxton-claiming-he-retaliated-after-it-banned-trump/]Twitter sues Texas AG, claiming he retaliated after it banned Trump
[/link]
Twitter has filed a lawsuit against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, claiming the Republican used his office to retaliate against it for [link=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-twitter-account-suspended-permanently/]banning the account of former President Trump[/link] following [link=https://www.cbsnews.com/feature/assault-on-the-us-capitol]the riot at the U.S. Capitol in January[/link]. Days after the deadly insurrection, Paxton announced an investigation into Twitter and four other major technology companies for what he called “the seemingly coordinated de-platforming of the President.”
The attorney general’s office demanded that the companies produce a variety of records related to their content moderation policies and troves of internal communications.
Twitter responded Monday with a federal lawsuit alleging Paxton is seeking to punish it for taking Trump’s account offline – a decision the social media company says is protected free speech. It asks a judge to declare the decision to be under the gambit of the First Amendment and to, in essence, halt Paxton’s investigation.

[h1]Facebook removes video interview with Trump, citing his ban from the platform[/h1]
The removal tests just how far Facebook is willing to interpret its suspension, which followed the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. The video featuring Trump was posted by his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, who was interviewing the former president. Lara Trump had teased the interview in an Instagram photo of the sit-down on Tuesday.
A second email posted by Lara Trump said Facebook had removed the video once she had uploaded it to her page.
In line with the block we placed on Donald Trumps Facebook and Instagram accounts, further content posted in the voice of Donald Trump will be removed and result in additional limitations on the accounts, the email said.[/QUOTE]

[link=https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/05/us/politics/supreme-court-trump-twitter.html]Supreme Court Vacates Ruling on Trump’s Twitter Activity
[/link]
The Supreme Courts move was expected, as Mr. Trump is no longer president and Twitter has [link=https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/company/2020/suspension.html]permanently suspended[/link] his account.
More surprising was [link=https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf/20-197_5ie6.pdf]a 12-page concurring opinion[/link] from Justice Clarence Thomas musing on what he called the dangerous power a few private companies have over free speech.
Todays digital platforms provide avenues for historically unprecedented amounts of speech, including speech by government actors, he wrote. Also unprecedented, however, is the concentrated control of so much speech in the hands of a few private parties. We will soon have no choice but to address how our legal doctrines apply to highly concentrated, privately owned information infrastructure such as digital platforms.

A federal judge on Wednesday blocked a Florida social media law that would have fined companies for kicking politicians off their platforms.
District Judge Robert Hinkle of the Northern District of Florida issued a preliminary injunction on Wednesday to stop the law from going into effect on Thursday, The Washington Post reported.
Hinkle issued the injunction as he believes the law will be found unconstitutional.

Interactions with posts on former [link=https://thehill.com/people/donald-trump]President Trump[/link]s new blog have dropped significantly since it was launched earlier this month amid an effort by the former commander in chief to maintain an online presence.
On the blogs first day, The Washington Post reported 159,000 total social media interactions.

Maggie Haberman: Trump appears to be angry at Fox News for calling his new blog a platform in their story about it. This is meant to be a temporary way of getting my thoughts and ideas out to the public without the Fake News spin, but the website is not a platform, per statement.
