The app points to ‘[www.parler.com](http://www.parler.com)’ (or similar) and if that resolves to ‘192.43.23.2343’ (pretend AWS address) or ‘231.99.123.321’ (pretend new host address) is not important. Sure, I understand that but if they are no longer using AWS servers and S3 storage, will the app still function? Seems probable that they used the Amazon SDKs. ---

I would hope that their code is compiled and optimized, at which point it should run on any Unix/Linux type server (I presume they aren’t running on Windows servers). There is an S3 (storage, not server) SDK for iOS development - just like they have an SDK for JavaScript. I have not coded to the AWS cloud but I can’t imagine that an iOS or Android phone client to the AWS Cloud is going to just work with some other backend. ---

The removal of Trump from the twittersphere really has shut him down. I find it odd in some ways. It seems that twitter was the only way for Trump to get his unfiltered words out. In the last while, since the twitter ban, Trump could have communicated to the public in any number of ways. Yet either he does not know how, or someone in the Whitehouse is preventing him. If he does not know how to communicate with the outside world without twitter, is he THAT incompetent now? If someone is preventing him - what power to they wield, and where is the power coming from? ---

> [@Euphonious\_Polemic](#): > > If someone is preventing him - what power to they wield, and where is the power coming from? From what I’ve read, the only people left are his family and diehard sycophants, and they’re trying to mostly save their own skins at this point - the family “brand” is severely (and perhaps irreparably) damaged and hopes that his family members had of future public office and raking in consultant fees are on the rocks at best. They desperately need him to keep his yap shut and are ensuring he doesn’t go rogue at this point. ---

They’re sitting him down in front of a camera and teleprompter and filming everything themselves at the White House. Anything that comes out of his mouth hole at this point that isn’t written by someone else is edited out before it’s posted. ---

I don’t think they are being allowed in at this point, and I’m pretty sure the family has been able to explain in small words that financial ruin and jail are not two places he wants to be headed for. Seems he agrees with at least that much. Again, from what I’ve read, it seems the family were actually fairly detached until the latest catastrophe. ---
