Looks like we haven’t seen the end of Parler. The social network, favoured by ultra-conservatives and conspiracy theorists in the United States, announced its imminent return, almost ten days after being dropped by Amazon, which had provided its cloud hosting service. The site, which is now accessible, simply displays a message from its co-founder John Matze that evokes freedom of expression.

”Hello world, is this thing on?” It’s with this question that John Matze got back in touch with followers on his website Parler on Jan 15. The controversial social network popular among Trump fans, which has been in the news in recent days, announced its return online a week after being dropped by its host, Amazon. A message was published and is now accessible on the site, which remains static for the moment.
