[Asia Economy Reporter Byunghee Park] The far-right American social networking service (SNS) Parler resumed its service on the 15th (local time).

Parler's service was suspended following the January 6th incident where supporters of then-President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol. Parler openly posted content related to the violent events of the protesters, and Amazon, which provided server hosting, discontinued its web hosting service, rendering Parler inaccessible. Google and Apple also blocked the download of the Parler application from their app stores.

Parler announced the resumption of its service, stating that it has established a new platform with sustainable and independent technology. It also claimed that thanks to the newly introduced technology, it no longer needs to rely on big tech companies.

Parler is reported to have set up new servers through CloudRoute instead of Amazon.

Parler stated that existing users will be able to use Parler from the first week, and from the following week, the service will be available to new users as well. Along with the service resumption, Parler announced the appointment of Mark Meckler as interim CEO.
