According to Buzzfeed, Amazon’s suspension of Parler’s account means the app is at risk of being offline on Sunday night

Matzi said that while looking for a new host, Parler might not be available as he is rebuilding from scratch, even though several service providers are “competing” for its business. “This was a coordinated attack by the tech giants to kill the competition in the market,” Matzi said in his announcement.

Amazon is the latest tech giant to take steps to curb the social networking app preferred by conservatives and right-wing groups due to a lack of content moderation. The online retailer is following in the footsteps of Apple, which suspended the Parler app on Saturday morning, and Google, which removed the platform from its app store on Friday night.

Parler has come under scrutiny recently following the violent attacks on the US Capitol building after various media outlets reported that Parler was being used to help coordinate the riots.
