PARLER’S PUSH TO RELAUNCH
Social media platform Parler is receiving services from a Russian-based technology firm as the platform gears up to relaunch after being pulled from Amazon Web Services, the Russian company confirmed Tuesday.
Parler reappeared online Sunday with a message from CEO John Matze telling users its return “is inevitable,” about a week after Amazon pulled it over concerns the platform could not adequately moderate potentially incendiary content.
Russian-based firm DDoS-Guard said in a statement to The Hill it started servicing Parler on Sunday night. But the company said Parler is not using DDos-Guard as a hosting site.
Parler’s domain is now registered with Epik, according to publicly available WHOIS information. However, a spokesperson for Epik told CNN the company does not provide Parler’s web hosting.
