“#Trump wanted to join Parler under pseudonym, CEO claims<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

President Trump considered joining Parler under a pseudonym in the months before the controversial social<\/a> network went dark, its chief executive claimed in court papers.<\/p>\n

Trump had thought about moving to the Twitter-like platform \u2014 which was popular with his supporters \u2014 under the name \u201cPerson X\u201d since at least October of last year, according to Parler CEO John Matze.<\/p>\n

The president\u2019s purported plans were part of the reason Amazon Web Services decided to boot Parler from its servers this week, putting the fledgling company in an existential crisis, according to Matze.<\/p>\n

\u201cBased on my interactions with AWS personnel during this period, I believe AWS\u2019s decision to terminate service to Parler was based, not on expressed concerns about Parler\u2019s compliance with the AWS [Customer] Agreement, but in part on a desire to deny President Trump a platform on any large social-media service,\u201d Matze said in a declaration filed Wednesday as part of his company\u2019s federal lawsuit against AWS.<\/p>\n

Amazon\u2019s cloud-computing unit forced Parler offline Monday over concerns about its failure to crack down on threats of violence its users posted in the wake of last week\u2019s Capitol riots.<\/p>\n

Parler\u2019s app \u2014 which has been removed from Apple and Google\u2019s digital stores \u2014 was being downloaded about 1 million times a day before AWS took action, Matze said. The recent growth was partly fueled by Twitter\u2019s decision to ban Trump from its platform, which led to a \u201cwidespread public expectation\u201d that he would join Parler, according to his filing.<\/p>\n

Parler\u2019s AWS representative \u2014 who Matze claimed was a Joe Biden supporter \u2014 had questioned him by phone, email, text message about his knowledge of Trump\u2019s plans to join the platform, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was only after Twitter announced its intention to terminate Trump from its platform that AWS expressed any concern about Parler\u2019s compliance with its agreement,\u201d Matze said in the filing, which did not explain why Trump allegedly wanted to use a pseudonym on Parler.<\/p>\n

AWS said there was \u201cno merit\u201d to Matze\u2019s claims. The tech giant provides services to customers across the political spectrum, but Parler was \u201cunable or unwilling\u201d to remove content encouraging violence and therefore violated AWS\u2019 terms of service, according to a company spokesperson.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe made our concerns known to Parler over a number of weeks and during that time we saw a significant increase in this type of dangerous content, not a decrease, which led to our suspension of their services Sunday evening,\u201d the AWS spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

AWS\u2019 decision to boot Parler may kill the platform for good, according to Matze. He said other tech firms including messaging service Slack and payment processor Strip<\/a>e have cut off Parler from their services because of Amazon\u2019s move.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy company is now a social network without a network,\u201d Matze said in the filing. \u201cBy turning off Parler\u2019s online capabilities, AWS has crushed our business\u2019s growth and eviscerated its ability to function as a going concern.\u201d<\/p>\n
