Apple and Google aren’t going to allow apps for it anymore. Too much liability.

and vacation homes for other one percent-ers. Pretty much totally cut off from the rest of the country.

Might be some libertarian type there willing to give it a home.

The site may be a placeholder. The upstream provider appears to be Cable & Wireless in Latin America. The DDoS threat will be among their lesser problems if the try to go live from there.

Parler!

Now seems like the right time to remind you all — both lovers and haters — why we started this platform. We believe privacy is paramount and free speech essential, especially on social media. Our aim has always been to provide a nonpartisan public square where individuals can enjoy and exercise their rights to both.

We will resolve any challenge before us and plan to welcome all of you back soon. We will not let civil discourse perish!

insurrectionists who tried to overthrow the government on this progressive site? And don't you think there are going to be some difficulties that arise from pumping anti-government information into the nation from a foreign country?

Who are you?

We have always opposed countries like China who have border firewalls that deny access to some categories of information.

We don't have any border firewalls, although it is alleged that NSA screens and collects information about all cross border flows.

If it's visible in the southern hemisphere, let them all go reboot Colonia Dignidad, and play with themselves there.

The industry will be alive again within two years or less, and we need to let the government there know we will remember they hosted violent insurrectionsists.

Belize is delightful, but they are never getting another dollar of my money unless they stop being host.

Maybe tweet them and also let them know this:
