Parler Claims it Alerted FBI to Threats Before Capitol Riot


Social Media Platform, Parler, said it Flagged concerning Material for the FBI ahead of the January 6th U.S. Capitol Riot.

The Conservative Social Media Network also sent a letter, dated Thursday Mar. 25th, to House Oversight Committee Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney (D-NY, 12th District).

Lawyers for the Platform said that the Company referred Violent Content to the Agency more than 50 times.

The Lawyers noted that some of those Flagged Posts included Threats Specific to the Capitol, where Five People Died during an attempt to Stop Congress from Verifying President Biden's Electoral College Win.

"Far from being the far-right instigator and rogue company that Big Tech has portrayed Parler to be, the facts conclusively demonstrate that Parler has been a responsible and law-abiding company focused on ensuring that only free and lawful speech exists on its platform," their Lawyers wrote.

The Letter includes a Screenshot of what appears to be an Email Correspondence between Parler and the FBI.

Parler, which has pitched itself as a Free Speech alternative Platform to Facebook and Twitter, has been criticized for being rife with Content about Storming Congress before Jan. 6th.

Shortly after the Attack, it was Blocked from the Apple and Google App Stores and subsequently Dropped by Amazon Web Services, functionally taking the Service Offline.

Parler announced that it would be Relaunching.
