Parler partially reappears with support from Russian technology firm

[EvilEyeFleegle]

How odd...that a site that purports to be all about patriotism is going to be a client of a Russian company that has been linked to social media disinformation attacks in the US?

Parler partially reappears with support from Russian technology firm

On Monday, Parler's website was reachable again, though only with a message from its chief executive saying he was working to restore functionality.
The internet protocol address it used is owned by DDos-Guard, which is controlled by two Russian men and provides services including protection from distributed denial of service attacks, infrastructure expert Ronald Guilmette told Reuters.
If the website is fully restored, Parler users would be able to see and post comments. Most users prefer the app, however, which remains banned from the official Apple Inc and Google stores.
Parler CEO John Matze and representatives of DDoS-Guard did not reply to requests for comment.
Last Wednesday, Matze told Reuters the company was in talks with multiple service providers but declined to elaborate.
DDoS-Guard has worked with other racist, rightist and conspiracy sites that have been used by mass murderers to share messages, including 8kun. It has also supported Russian government sites.
DDoS-Guard's website lists an address in Scotland under the company name Cognitive Cloud LP, but that is owned by two men in Rostov-on-Don, Russia, Guilmette said. One of them told the Guardian recently that he was not aware of all of the content the company facilitates.

Parler critics said it was a potential security risk for it to depend on a Russian company, as well as an odd choice for a site popular with self-described patriots.

I bet that with a little more push that you could keep anyone from going over to Parler to read anything or have any contact with anyone from the right wing. How insulating. I mean add Russia, paint them as Red, compare them to Al Queda...................

Do you not see a trend here?

Of course..the marginalization of the Alt/right. It's a shame..on some levels...that they cannot moderate their sites a bit better, and avoid this altogether. However, Parlor is not the only venue the right has. I would point to this site..for example. I think it is the fact that the fringies hate moderation--that drives them to questionable hosts.

I would point out that Parlor added the Russian element all on their own. Russia's motives and actions are well known and documented.

A country that literally poisons its dissenters does deserve a raised eyebrow or two, yes?

A country that bans free speech for partisan reasons, deserves a revolution.

Tell that to Putin.

Yawn.

Another retarded leftard thread based on Saul Alinsky's Rule #4: "Make the enemy live up to his own book or rules."

And yet, the libtards love their Chinese apps that actually spy on them and steal their data, like TikTok, WeChat, QQ, CamScanner, QQ Wallet, SHAREit, VMate and WPS Office.

And to top it all off, they elect a president who actually has been monetarily-rewarded by the CCP, and whose crackhead son fucked his own underage niece.

Go figure.

Take a look where your Maga hat was made. Take a look at the 18 trade marks owned by Trump awarded by China. Take a look where Ivanka makes all of her products. All you have is lies and enuendo while your fat slob does his shit in the light of day and you ignore it. That all being said you are fucking idiot if you have any of those apps. You mentioned on your phone or computer. You will not find it on mine. You won't find me committing crimes and recording them for social media sites like that idiot realtor from Texas either. I see guys in MAGA hats buried in TicTok all the time. You are absolutely blind to half the threats in your life. I am not. You also will not find property, vehicles or phones in my name with out digging through mass amounts of corporate red tape to find it. Ya I am careful like that. Shit hits the fan my phone go to bottom of a lake or river and am a ghost in seconds.

Russians russians russians russians. They are not the enemy. CHINA is.

Why? I didn`t buy into the hate China thing in the 50s and 60s and I`m not buying it now.

Trump and Xi were buddies at one time. Until he got fed up with their bullshit and started sanctions. Putin and Trump may still be buddies. I don't know, nor care. Putin is not the threat. Or wasn't anyway. He may be now.

China is dangerous. If you can't see that..then I don't know what to tell ya.

 

[Correll]

What is the surprise here? Trumpers make known their love of Russia and Putin nearly every day on this forum and others. Seriously, given this attitude I don’t know how any Trumper could get a security clearance. They are admitted security risks.

Seriously? You went to school with these people. You have to work with these people. You drive on the road with these people. They are in your neighborhoods. Your children play together.

Is there something wrong with you?

Do you think "these/those people" , the trumpets, think the same way about their neighbors that are not Trumpists?

We are not the ones that need to pretend that any disagreement with us means you are wacist, or some other ist or phobe.


That is a trait you people manifest.

Anyway....y'all won (by fraud), so why the continual anger? What happened to "unity"?

Was it China that hacked into our govt. and put bounties on our soldiers in Afghanistan? Did the Chinese meddle in our 2016 election? You`re still being played by treasonous Trump.

Trump was wrong to negotiate in Good Faith with China. They just stonewalled until he was out. NOw it is back to normal.


The next republican president should just come in and unilaterally shut down trade with China.

China did worse. They made a biological weapon that doesn care what race you are, what gender you are, what country you are in, what age you are. Russia didn't. And yes....China meddled in our election.

We can bicker back and forth all day and it won't change my mind...nor yours.

Russian propaganda has stoked political divisions in the United States, supporting outgoing U.S. President Donald Trump and amplifying false narratives about election fraud but also protests against police brutality.
Parler, which disclosed it has over 12 million users, sued Amazon last Monday after the e-commerce giant and cloud services provider cut off service, citing poor moderation of calls to violence.

You people have made the Russians into the supporters of Free Speech.

INcredible.

That's exactly what many people are thinking.

Russia is a dictatorship (not too brutal if you keep your mouth shut).

The USA is supposedly a democracy. Vice President Pence called it the "freest country in the world." Well, that's the cliche that we have all been brought up to believe in.

What a hoot to think that Russia (of all countries) is stepping in to help Americans maintain the fiction that freedom of speech exists in this country.

I would not be surprised if Mr. Biden's administration asks Russia to close down Parler.

Trump had a big sad whenever his admin put sanctions on Russia....

And went back and lifted a lot of them....same with China...

Trump just blocked his own administration’s Russia sanctions

Once again, the president is taking steps to make sure he doesn’t anger Putin.

Remember when you folks cheered Trump trying to ban TikTok because of "so-called" security concerns??

When it was really just him being pissed that TikTok users trolled him and made him look like a moron....

Why don't you guys keep that same energy now

Oh my God!

As I was washing the dishes, I suddenly realized something.

The leftists probably are flocking to Parler at this very minute -- to post nasty remarks about Russia.

Then Russia will close down Parler.

*****

Can Parler sell a print newspaper? No, I guess not. The leftists would destroy the newspaper vending-machine boxes, and Mr. Biden's administration would tell the postal service not to deliver the newspaper. And besides people would be too terrified to subscribe.

Wow! The leftists must be chortling over how easy it was to take over this country!
