Conservative social media website Parler has returned to the internet after its service provider suspended the site after the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. Amazon.com Inc.’s cloud unit pulled Parler’s internet service after users planned and supported the riot on the website. Amazon Web Services said Parler failed to follow rules to remove content that promoted violence after previously receiving multiple warnings about its lack of effective control. Parler’s users included high-profile figures in Republican politics and conservative media such as Fox News hosts Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity. Participants in the Jan. 6 riot posted videos of themselves inside the Capitol to Parler.
