I wonder how much it would cost for them to have their own servers.... Because it seems that it would need a lot of backing to be able to do that- so either paid memberships or very epic amounts of ads.

To run a network like that it would take a long time and a lot of start up capital. There was a guy on Twitter from the industry right before it shut down when the Nazi CEO was talking about how they would be back fast and he broke down how likely they were dead. The reason AWS is as big as they are is because setting up a server like those needed for social media requires having space, money for the tech, ability to keep it running, proper ventilation and cooling, security, building a framework and infrastructure amongst other factors. The guy basically said it would take millions and likely a year if not more before they could do it even on a minor scale. It was a fascinating breakdown I wish I had saved it...

It is way more cost effective to rent space from AWS than it is to start up your own from scratch. Amazon had the resources to throw at it and even that was a gamble because the sunk cost was huge.

Who will be willing to rent to them? Especially if the rental is traceable?

Almost no one. That was why the guy said they are dead. AWS boots almost no one off their servers. The National Enquirer is on there and werent even threatened when they were going to publish Jeff Bezos' dick pics. AWS is about as hands off as it gets and has a super vague TOS. As long as you aren't into human trafficking or kiddie porn (or at least arent reported as such) they pretty much leave you alone. Getting booted off of there all but blacklists you...that is why they are looking at Russia for help.

The other problem Parler will have, even if they find a permanent server, is that their whole setup is based on working with AWS and its proprietary framework. They are going to have to rebuild the entire platform. That alone will take a long time. They were smart in that they didn't just take everything AWS offered and use it (like many do) but that is also why it was so easy to hack this summer (the confirmed hack) and why when their security went down after the Capitol Attack it was so easy for people to access everything. No one would ever trust it now especially on some Russian server...

Parler is dead. I am sure it will try to come back (hey MySpace tried!) but no one will use it. Half the regulars now believe it was an FBI Honeypot anyways along with the constant threat of identity theft.

I am certain the Dump family and their criminals copied every piece of classified data they could get off every system no matter what the security. I'm sure they DTO'ed the entire cache of American classified data and will now auction it to Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, and everybody else who will pay.

Every current and former American asset resident in an adversarial power will be dead within the year.
 
This guy really misunderstood the end of The Sound of Music.

Cue butthurt Nazis.

With the country reeling from the Jan. 6 insurrection attempt, the Biden White House laid out its first steps towards a strategy to counter the ongoing prospect of more far-right violence.

Press Secretary Jen Psaki described it as a “fact-based” approach that will focus on countering the “serious and growing national security threat.”

“The Biden administration will confront this threat with the necessary resources and resolve,” she said.

The announcement also comes as the Biden administration has begun to name appointees to key positions on the National Security Council and in the Department of Homeland Security that will be responsible for managing the crisis.

The Biden administration faces the prospect of a nascent, violent movement of far-right pro-Trump extremists, united around the lie that President Biden stole the 2020 election.

Psaki emphasized in her remarks that the Biden administration’s first steps towards countering what it calls “domestic violent extremism” would be “fact-based,” a continued departure in tone and substance from the previous administration.

She outlined three steps that the Biden administration would take to evaluate the broader situation, which goes beyond the Jan. 6 insurrection attempt at the Capitol building and encompasses the vast threat of a lingering, MAGA insurgency that the attack portended.

She said that Biden would have FBI, DHS, and the intelligence community conduct “a comprehensive threat assessment” on the issue.

“The key point here is that we want fact-based analysis upon which which we can shape policy,” Psaki said. “This is really the first step in the process and we will rely on our appropriate law enforcement and intelligence officials to provide that analysis.”

The next prong will focus on directing a portion of the National Security Council to coordinate responses to the threat.

That, Psaki said, will include information sharing, supporting de-radicalization programs, and “disrupting violent extremist networks.”

She added that the Biden administration “need[ed] to understand better” the current extent of violent extremism in the U.S.

Finally, she added, the Biden administration would focus intently on making sure that the federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies coordinated closely to understand the threat. The Capitol insurrection took place after the Trump administration gutted the federal government’s ability to coordinate information-sharing about far-right extremism.

Psaki said that the process would take place under the NSC, and would focus on “addressing evolving threats, radicalization, the role of social media, opportunities to improve information sharing, operational responses, and more.”

Looks like your 40-year holiday from accountability is over, fascists.

Well since we aren't the snowflakes begging for unity (outside of Biden) let me just say:

The only people who should be upset with us denigrating White Supremacists are White Supremacists. Sack up Nazis and just admit what you are and stop pretending you care about anyone but yourselves. Its rather embarrassing...
