    Parler sued by co-founder who claims pro-Trump social platform was "hijacked" by Rebekah Mercer
    John Matze, the former CEO of Parler, has sued the site's right-wing financiers and backers

    Parler co-founder John Matze has sued the conservative social network for wrongfully ousting him from his role as chief executive and stripping his 40% ownership stake following the site's shutdown in the aftermath of the Capitol insurrection.

    In a lawsuit filed in Nevada this week, Matze alleged that Jeffrey Wernick and Rebekah Mercer, two deep-pocketed investors of the company, forcibly removed him from the company by way of bullying and intimidation. Matze, who accused Parler's investors and co-founders of seizing his personal property, is seeking "millions" of dollars, according to his complaint.

    "John Matze, the founder of Parler and its former CEO, has commenced suit to vindicate his rights," said Todd Bice, Matze's lawyer. "He seeks both compensatory and punitive damages pursuant to his claims."

    Matze's suit sheds light on the internal upheaval within Parler following the Capitol riot. When reports found that Parler served as a breeding ground for far-right conspiracy and white supremacist violence, several tech giants such as Google, Amazon Web Services, and Apple removed Perler from their online marketplaces.

    Parler, claiming that Amazon conspired to undermine competition against Twitter, subsequently sued Amazon for removing the app from its platform. Amazon has said that Parler's suit is meritless. In February, a judge sided with Amazon in a preliminary ruling, arguing that Parler breached its contract by hosting unfettered incendiary speech. According to NPR, Amazon's lawyers wrote in a court filing that Parler had a backlog of some 26,000 reports of flagged material. Parler has since been reinstated with help from L.A.-based cloud-hosting firm SkySilk Inc.

    In early February, Matze said that he sparred with Mercer over the limits of Parler's commitment to free speech, which was at times tested by threats of domestic terror and violence. Matze alleged that he wanted the platform to crack down on pro-violent rhetoric, but he received pushback from the company's leadership, in particular Mercer.

    Parler has called Matze's portrayal of the internal conflict "inaccurate and misleading."

    Leading up to the riot, Parler served as a moderation-free megaphone for many far-right organizers like Ali Alexanders and Alex Jones, both of whom spread election fraud conspiracy that fueled the insurgency on Capitol Hill, as reported by Salon in February. In fact, many Parler users had penetrated the Capitol and shared evidence of it on the platform.

    Since Parler went offline, other alt-tech platforms like Gab, MeWe, and Telegram –– which offers encrypted messaging –– have become more popular for conservatives, many of whom now feel that Facebook and Twitter engage in systematic censorship of right-wing voices.

    Parler Notified FBI of Violent Content Ahead of Capitol Riot
    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...-fbi-of-violent-content-ahead-of-capitol-riot

    Parler said it had alerted the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation about violent content on its platform and specific threats against the Capitol more than 50 times in the weeks before the Jan. 6 riot, which left five people dead and hundreds injured.

    The conservative social media site, used by supporters of former President Donald Trump and others on the right, began notifying the bureau in December that people were calling for violence on its network. That included someone who wanted to “start eliminating people” on Jan. 6, according to a letter sent to Representative Carolyn Maloney, a New York Democrat, on Thursday.

    Another person “called for the congregation of an armed force of 150,000” on that date, when Congress was to certify the Electoral College victory of Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election.

    The letter was in response to a Feb. 8 request from Maloney, who heads the House’s Oversight and Reform Committee. The panel has been investigating the site. Maloney has previously called on the FBI to open its own inquiry into the company.

    Parler said a user claimed that the planned event on Jan. 6 was “no longer a protest” but was “the final stand where we are drawing the red line at Capitol Hill.” The same user added in a later post that “Trump needs us to cause chaos to enact the #insurrectionact.” Still another user posted a picture of Hillary Clinton behind a noose.

    Parler has been under fire for months over its handling of extremism on its platform. In January, after the attack on the Capitol, Apple Inc. banned it from its app store, and Amazon.com Inc.’s cloud unit suspended the network’s account shortly after.

    Parler resurfaced in February after SkySilk Inc. agreed to host it.

    The company declined to comment on Thursday evening. The FBI did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
