In a stunning crackdown on Parler , Amazon jettisoned the right-wing social network from its web-hosting service just after midnight Pacific time early Monday, the Associated Press reported.

That means Parler, a favorite of extremist Donald Trump supporters, will be off the internet unless or until it can find another host.

Amazon took the action because of Parlers lack of restrictions over users calls for violence, which violate the companys terms of service, in the wake of the lethal attack on the Capitol Wednesday that left five people dead, including a police officer.

Parler has most recently been swamped with messages encouraging Patriots to march on Washington, D.C., with weapons on Jan. 19, BuzzFeed reported.

Weve seen a steady increase in this violent content on your website, all of which violates our terms, reads an email obtained by BuzzFeed written by AWSs Trust and Safety team to Amy Peikoff, the chief policy officer of Parler. Its clear that Parler does not have an effective process to comply with the AWS terms of service.

Neither Amazon nor Parler commented about the crackdown. But Parler CEO John Matze said in a post on the site that the social media network could be unavailable on the Internet for up to a week as we rebuild from scratch.

The blow followed earlier bad news for the network as Apple joined Google on Saturday to remove Parler from its App Store.

Twitter, Facebook and Reddit have also launched major crackdowns on misinformation, hate speech and incitement to violence by their own users in the wake of the Capitol attack. The actions come amid harsh criticism of the businesses for providing a platform for users to spread dangerous lies and conspire to commit violence.

The self-described free-speech platform Parler has been surging in popularity as extremists switch over when they or their messages are blocked from mainstream social media.

Apple dropped the Parler app Saturday because of the networks lack of policing on misinformation and violent threats. Apple had complained earlier to Parler that the network was used to ... facilitate the illegal activities in the Capitol attack.

Apples crackdown is a bigger problem for Parler than Googles because Apple requires all iPhone apps to go through its App Store, The New York Times noted . Google cut Parler out of its Android app store, but the app can be obtained elsewhere and loaded on the phones.

But Amazons decision completely boots the network off the internet, unless Parler can find a substitute web-hosting service.

Twitter on Friday also permanently banned the president due to the risk of further incitement of violence after he encouraged his supporters to move on the Capitol. It also shut down accounts of prominent QAnon conspiracy peddlers, including Trumps former national security adviser Michael Flynn and attorney ally Sidney Powell .

Many observers had speculated that Trump would next pop up on Parler .

Trumps family members and surrogates, as well as many GOP lawmakers, including Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas) and Rep. Devin Nunes (Calif.), have established Parler accounts, noted BuzzFeed.
