Parler CEO: Tech Companies Coordinated Plan to Close Us Down

The silencing of conservative speech on social media has spiraled into a "coordinated effort" by big tech to close down Parler, according to the social media platform's CEO John Matze.

"This was a coordinated attack by the tech giants to kill the competition in the marketplace," Matze's statement read. "We were too successful too fast.

"You can expect the war on competition and free speech to continue, but don't count us out. #speakfreely."

Matze's statement comes as Amazon is removing the platform from its webservers, which might take the conservative social media platform down for about a week.
