Amazon is removing “free speech” social network Parler from its web hosting service for violating rules.

If Parler fails to find a new web hosting service by Sunday evening, the entire network will go offline.

Parler styles itself as an “unbiased” social media and has proved popular with people banned from Twitter.

Amazon told Parler it had found 98 posts on the site that encouraged violence. Apple and Google have removed the app from their stores.

Launched in 2018, Parler has proved particularly popular among supporters of US President Donald Trump and right-wing conservatives. Such groups have frequently accused Twitter and Facebook of unfairly censoring their views.

While Mr Trump himself is not a user, the platform already features several high-profile contributors following…

• Amazon is removing the fast-growing social media network Parler from its web hosting service, according to an email obtained by BuzzFeed News. Amazon confirmed the authenticity of the letter to Insider.
• Amazon Web Services said Parler violated its terms of service due to an increase in violent content shared on the website.
• Unless Parler is able to find an alternative hosting platform, the website will go offline Sunday night.
• The move comes after Google and Apple banned the Parler app from their app stores, also for violating policies by failing to remove violent content.
