The CEO of Parler, the conservative social media app, and his family have gone into hiding because of death threats and harassment, according to a new court filing.
The documents, obtained by Fox News, show that John Matze and his family have been targeted by people who published his street address and threatened to come in his front door.
Parler, which is a favorite of Trump supporters, was booted off Apple and Googles platforms after the Capitol riots and Amazon took it off its cloud hosting service, Amazon Web Services.
In response, Parler filed an antitrust lawsuit against Amazon. Amazon countersued, saying Parlers suit had no valid legal basis and claiming Amazon employees had been threatened and harassed, Fox News reported.

Also, reich wingers generally don't know how anything works. ANYTHING they post on ANY social media ANYWHERE on ANY device is fair game. With a little effort, anyone can see it. And it rarely if ever goes away no matter how you delete it. Huge swaths of the interwebs are vacuumed up regularly by various organizations for various reasons. It's all bytes on a server somewhere.
