TIMELINE: It took only 48 hours for Parler to go from No. 1 on the App Store to offline entirely

Parler, which allows users to post status updates and share articles similar to Twitter, jumped to the top of the App Store until getting removed by Apple. Google and Amazon booted Parler from using their platforms as well.

Parler CEO John Matze said the site does not condone violence, and has had difficulty removing prohibited content because it doesn't "harvest and abuse" personal data. The siege of the US Capitol was a disaster for congressional cybersecurity — and experts say Congress will likely have to wipe all its computers and rebuild from scratch

"Parler is not a surveillance app, so we can't just write a few algorithms that will quickly locate 100% of objectionable content, especially during periods of rapid growth and the seemingly coordinated malicious attacks that accompany that growth," Matze said in a statement Sunday evening. "But that doesn't mean we haven't been effective. Up until Friday afternoon, it seemed that Apple, Amazon, and Google agreed."Friday, January 8Parler jumped to No.
