Parler CEO Says Social Media App Is Back Online – Company Gets New Servers After Tech Giants Collude and Shut Down Platform

Parler, the social media app known for free speech, announced on Monday it was back online.

This comes weeks after the US tech giants colluded to take the social media platform down for not silencing conservative voices.

Just The News reported:

Parler, the upstart social media platform silenced last month by big-tech censorship, said Monday it is resuming operations under new leadership and with new computer servers.

Parler moved to a new computer server farm, and the 20 million users on the platform when Amazon Web Services shut off the social media platform on Jan. 11 can begin using their old app and logins Monday, Interim CEO Mark Meckler told Just the News.

Some existing users were already live on Monday morning and the rest should have access by midday after the new servers propagated across the internet. New users should be able to sign up for the service within a week or so, Meckler said.

Parler released this statement this morning.

‘Largest-ever the world has seen’: Microsoft president claims 1,000+ software engineers must have worked on SolarWinds breech

The SolarWinds breach was the largest and most sophisticated ever discovered, Microsoft’s Brad Smith told CBS. The network framed the breach as a reckless Russian hack attack that the NSA was unable to spot in time.

The multifaceted breach, best-known for the company SolarWinds and its software, affected thousands of government and private computers in the US. It was first made public in December 2020 and was quickly blamed by people in Washington on Moscow. Microsoft was among companies whose electronic credentials were exploited.

Speaking to CBS’s ‘60 Minutes’ program, Microsoft President Brad Smith said that “from a software engineering perspective, it's probably fair to say that this is the largest and most sophisticated attack the world has ever seen.”

The company tasked 500 software engineers to analyze what had happened. Smith said “certainly more than 1,000” similar specialists were involved in working on the breach itself. “Almost certainly, these attacks are continuing,” he added.

Smith was one of several guests interviewed for the program, which purports to explain how “Russian spies” hacked key departments of the US government and learned their secrets. The experts helped paint a picture of an intelligence operation that was “unprecedented in audacity and scope” and part of an under-the-radar “cyber war” between the US and Russia.

Moscow has “outsmarted” the DHS and “circumvented” the NSA, which “gathers intelligence overseas, but is prohibited from surveilling US computer networks,” according to the program.
