After getting essentially blacklisted last month following its role in helping foment the deadly January 6 MAGA putsch on Capitol Hill, the social media app and hate-speech breeding ground known as Parler (not to be confused with Parlor) is unfortunately back online for the segment of the Internet that looks at Twitter and thinks to themselves, “This place is too politically correct for me.”

Parler has long billed itself as the “premier free speech platform,” which in reality means that its a space where anyone can spew whatever vile, bigoted nonsense they want via the alt-social media site. And boy howdy, do those cretins know how to
Conservative social media site Parler announced its relaunch on Monday
It comes just over a month after Apple, Google and Amazon banned Parler from their app stores in the wake of the January 6 Capitol riots
Amazon also kicked Parler off of its web-hosting service on January 11
It is unclear where the relaunched site is being hosted
Parler s statement included a quote from its new Interim CEO Mark Meckler
Meckler stepped in after the previous CEO, founder Mark Matze, was fired
Parler, the social network popular with the alt-right and conspiracy theorists, reappeared with the help of a Russian-owned web security service as the website hunts for a way around bans that took it offline earlier this month.
“Our return is inevitable due to hard work, and persistence against all odds,” Chief Executive Officer John Matze wrote in a new post, the latest since Amazon Web Services stopped hosting the site and it was banned from Apple Inc.’s and Google’s app stores. “Despite the threats and harassment not one Parler employee has quit. We are becoming closer and stronger as a team.”
