Likewise, an IBM spokesperson said that "Parler is not an IBM client. We would not pursue or permit business with any client whose activities would violate IBM's terms of service."

that could take months, said Corey Quinn, chief cloud economist at the Duckbill Group. Even if another cloud provider were to offer database or storage services at the same scale as AWS, Parler was likely engineered to work seamlessly with Amazon's cloud, making a transition difficult.
