Parler Faces Lawsuit From Former CEO John Matze
Parler Faces Lawsuit From Former CEO John Matze Over Defamation, Improper Ousting
Matze said there were conspiracies to steal his 40 percent company share, leaving him with $3 (roughly Rs. 210).
The developer of the conservative social network Parler is alleging he was defamed and improperly ousted by a prominent Republican Party benefactor, two men who replaced him at the company and a political commentator known for his support for former President Donald Trump.
John Matze said in a lawsuit he was fired for trying to tone down extremism on the site. He said wealthy philanthropist Rebekah Mercer, website associates Jeffrey Wernick, and Mark Meckler, and podcaster and television analyst Dan Bongino conspired to steal his 40 percent company share, leaving him with $3 (roughly Rs. 210).
Mercer, through the Heritage Foundation and a family foundation tax attorney, Wernick and Meckler at Parler, and Bongino at his newsletter did not immediately respond Tuesday to telephone and email messages about the lawsuit filed Monday in Nevada state court.
It casts Matze as a scapegoat in turmoil that arose after Parler became a go-to site for far-right extremist views before and after the January 6 siege at the US Capitol.
The site, based in suburban Henderson outside Las Vegas, grew in popularity after the violence, when Trump's social media were blocked as incitement by mainstream platforms Facebook and Twitter.
Parler was booted from the Internet January 11 after Apple suspended purchases of its smartphone app and Amazon Web Services quit hosting it on the Internet cloud. The site returned in mid-February, without Matze.
