“On January 29, 2021, the Parler board controlled by Rebekah Mercer decided to immediately terminate my position as CEO of Parler. I did not participate in this decision,” Matze wrote.
Parler CEO John Matze has been terminated from his post at the social media company, according to a memo Matze wrote to staffers, which Fox News obtained.
“On January 29, 2021, the Parler board controlled by Rebekah Mercer decided to immediately terminate my position as CEO of Parler. I did not participate in this decision,” Matze wrote, according to Fox Business. “I understand that those who now control the company have made some communications to employees and other third parties that have unfortunately created confusion and prompted me to make this public statement.”
“Over the past few months, I’ve met constant resistance to my product vision, my strong belief in free speech and my view of how the Parler site should be managed. more
Snip: Rebekah Mercer has ownership in Breitbart.
Well. When Parler comes back, if it comes back, I’m deleting my account. Not a fan of the Mercers.
Anybody understand why?
That move can be described as follows: Adding insult to injury. Way to be in touch with your market, Rebekah. Nice knowin’ ya Parler, though we hardly knew ye.
If they truly create an environment that allows free speech I can get behind it.

Guess bongino lost a bunch in that investment
If it was for working without wearing pants,I can totally understand.
I’ve never expected Parler to be resurrected, but now I think that if it is it will just be something else using the same name.
40 feet of waterline .
That’s all I need.
Mercer is made of money, but she couldn’t build a platform? Servers? There are people who offered to do it for Parler, but I guess they never got a phone call, huh?
I kind of regret having a Parler account. I’m not a ludite but I never liked the interface, the echos and parleys and whatnot. There is brain rewiring involved to leave Twitter behind and use Gab. “Im missing something! Must check!” Damn that social media crack!
There are several social media software packages in linux someone out there might be using them. If someone was enterprising and rich enough to play with one. I ran into polari today in my travels, never used any, just saying. https://linuxaria.com/article/top-social-media-applications-for-linux
illustr8r – Parler had this weird thing where you would be scrolling, see something you like, then post something and then it would wind you up back to the top and you’d have to start all over again with the scrolling. I always hated that.
@MJA Exactly! I always felt lost. The big scroll would happen and I’d be like, WTF? Then, I’d have 3-10 echos of the same thing rolling through my feed. Am I not following enough people and that’s why it’s duplicated…or all like-minded people are sending the same thing. That’s an echo I guess…and stupid because it’s the same stuff over and over.
I’d go back to Twitter to read the rants and news from who I wanted to. Trying to use Gab more but…
Gab is OK, just so bogged down you have to wait 10 seconds to even see your comment sometimes
She’s a hedge fund brat. This may just be payback for Main Street’s insurrection. On the other hand, Matze may not be the hero in this. We only have his word for it. There’s a lot of treachery and/or simple incompetence in all this.
Parler goes “WOKE” in 3… 2… 1… 🙄
You would think they want control of all media outlets.
Kind of like this.

I opened a gab account years ago and I am beginning to find many of the people that I followed on Twitter there. Gab was stricken a while back and created its own infrastructure. I suspect eventually something like that bearshare network will come about “ptp” type system. I too tried Parler but this is more censorship. Anymore, this is the only site I use for news. Otherwise it is Michael Berry or Rush on the radio. Even they are getting hard to listen to as they have no good news and the comical take on the antics of the deranged TDS are gone since they have taken total control. Eisenhower warned us. Even Ted Cruz is a turncoat. I guess he wants his Swamp ID card.
Parler exposed. Mercer wants it to become part of the Big Tech cabal. She controls the board. She controls the company and can install her puppet.
Parlor will probably be “blended in” to Fakebook or some other “fact checking” social media platform, disappeared or focused on pronouned lunatics who identify as female -even if they’re not. *sigh*
The left’s evil playbook is getting way too predictable.
Wow!
Don’t know Parler, Mercer, or Matze.
Reads like some incest gone wrong.
Pretty sure that if money’s at stake, Freedom’s out the window.
“The Defenestration of Freedom.”
Once more.
But my ignorance is profound in this matter (as in many others).
izlamo delenda est …
Bongino says Matze is lying.
Sounds like there have been lots of arguments about how to proceed.
When I read Matze’s statement my first thought was I’m never going back to Parler. Then I read Bongino’s and thought it’s better to wait and find out the whole story.

Parler may come back, but I won’t be there to greet them. I smell socialism/
@Cardiff – agreed, Michael Berry is great. A Texas boy too.
John Matze got exactly what he asked for! Unlike all the other Free Speech Platforms.. John didn’t THINK! He rented servers with companies that loved Marxism!
I think everyone should hold on until more information comes out.
But I have to say, this fighting among us does not make us look good.
It gives the left reasons to dismiss conservatives. It has to stop.
Bongino explains himself here on video. Starts around 3:45 minute mark. But he doesn’t get to the point until 7:30 minute mark. LOL
