המנכ"ל הישראלי שניתק את פרלר: "ויתרנו על הכנסה גדולה"
Israeli start-up ScyllaDB, a database developer, has terminated its partnership with social network Parler, which has been accused of providing a platform for violent content. Following the violent attack on the Capitol on January 6, Google and Apple removed Parlers app from their stores and Amazon blocked the network from its cloud services. Despite these setbacks, Parlers CEO, John Matze, expressed confidence in the networks ability to operate again. However, he described the new difficulties encountered when more suppliers, including ScyllaDB, cancelled their agreement with the company. ScyllaDB confirmed that it had decided to stop cooperating with Parler after realising that the network was violating the usage agreement.
