Parler, the social network popular with Trump supporters, has partially reappeared online with tech support from a Russian-owned technology company, Reuters reported Monday. Google and Apple removed Parler from their app stores after Trump, who is serving his last day in office, was banned from various platforms following the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol. Amazon Web Services also cut off Parler’s access to internet servers. Reuters reported that Parler’s website became reachable Monday via an internet protocol address used by DDos-Guard, a tech firm owned by two men in the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don and registered in Scotland. Its clients include Russia’s Defense Ministry, the pro-Kremlin weekly Argumenty i Fakty, as well as the liberal radio station Ekho Moskvy, according to Russia’s The Insider news website.

A Russian IT firm is helping the Parlor hate website get up and running again.

Russian white-supremacists helping American white-supremacists? This should surprise no one.

Of course.
 
“....cut out the middle-man!”
 
From Parler:

Technical Difficulties

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!

Conservatives...you really have to ask yourself why Russia is interested in helping Parler.

They are not our friends, and they gave assistance to the Trump campaign in 2016.

Ask yourself what are they up to? What is their goal.

Paler isn't a site where people exchange recipes, talk about sports, or hobbies. It's a partisan political forum.

Again, why do you think Russia is willing to help Parler given it's content.
 
Conservatives...you really have to ask yourself why ...
You're probably asking to much of them. My take is that they are not very smart, and they've proven it repeatedly over the years.
 
But doing business with China like China Joe and all of DC is OK?

The assumption in your question is not supported by evidence.
