On January 6, 2021 local time, a supporter of Donald Trump attacked the Capitol . Mr. Trump has made statements that incite his supporters and will be banished from services such as Twitter and Facebook .
In addition, it was confirmed that Mr. Trump's supporters had gathered on Parler and repeatedly posted about the riot case, so the app will be removed from the official Android and iOS app stores.

In such a difficult situation, Parler CEO John Matz said, ' Parler may not be resurrected, ' but Ars Technica reports that Parler's official website is resurrected. I will. The Android app and iOS app version of Parler remain unavailable at the time of writing the article, but from January 18, 2021, the top page of the browser version of Parler has been accessible.
The top page contains a message from CEO Matz to users. The message reminds both enthusiasts and haters of why we started Parler now, believing that privacy is paramount, especially on social media, and freedom of speech is essential. Our aim was to provide a nonpartisan public square where individuals could enjoy and exercise both of these rights. We will continue to be a place to solve all problems and welcome them all. It does not destroy the speech of the citizens. ' In other words, Parler has declared that it will continue to be a moderation-free social network.
However, Ars Technica said, 'In the first place, Parler is designed with the service backend basically without privacy considerations , as evidenced by multiple reports, and for Parler to return to the Internet. The path taken is the same as the path followed by radical white supremacy platforms (such as Gab and 8chan ) that have lost access to mainstream services, 'questioning Parler's claim.
Parler is reported to have used Epik 's web hosting service to restore the service. Epik is a hosting service used by Gab, which was excluded from the main service by supporting the far-right extremists, and 8chan, which was excluded from the main service by white supremacism.
Some security researchers also point out that Parler uses the hosting service of DDoS-Guard, a Russian-based cloud services company. It has been pointed out that DDoS-Guard hosts services, forums, phishing sites, etc. related to cybercrime.
Parler is back up, and being hosted by 'DDOS GUARD' out of Russia. If that's not an obvious sign of its malfeasance, there's nothing else that could possibly be shown to convince you. Pic.twitter.com/FkScxQdCoK
