Parler's partial return is supported by a Russian tech firm with links to racist and conspiracy-theory sites

The internet protocol address it used is owned by DDoS-Guard, which is controlled by two Russian men and provides services including protection from cyberattacks known as distributed denial of service attacks, infrastructure expert Ronald Guilmette told Reuters.Matze and representatives of DDoS-Guard did not reply to Reuters' requests for comment.On Wednesday, January 13, Matze told Reuters the company was in talks with multiple service providers, but declined to elaborate.

It also previously worked with controversial Washington-based internet provider VanwaTech, which hosts the website of 8kun, a social-media site popular among QAnon supporters and used by rioters to plot the"We are not related to any politic issues and don't want to be associated in any sense with customer hosting such toxic sites like QAnon/8chan," Marchenko told The Guardian.

Parler critics said it was a potential security risk for it to depend on a Russian company, as well as an odd choice for a site popular with self-described patriots. Russian propaganda has stoked political divisions in the US, supporting outgoing US President Donald Trump and amplifying false narratives about election fraud and protests against police brutality.
