Parler.com is getting back online after being kicked off Amazon's hosting service, with the controversial social network saying it no longer relies on "Big Tech" for its Web infrastructure. A Parler announcement today said its relaunched website is "built on sustainable, independent technology and not reliant on so-called 'Big Tech' for its operations."

Amazon cut off Parler's Web-hosting service on January 10, a few days after a Trump-incited mob stormed the US Capitol, saying that "Parler cannot comply with our terms of service and poses a very real risk to public safety." Parler sued Amazon in response, but a federal judge denied Parler's request for a preliminary injunction that would have forced Amazon to reinstate its services.
