John Matze, the CEO of social network Parler, has claimed he has received death threats and "can't go home," after the social network was tied to last week's U.S. Capitol riots and sent offline by Amazon.

Parler markets itself as a haven for free speech, and its hands-off approach to content moderation has made it popular with conservatives, far-right groups and conspiracy theorists, including people who subscribe to QAnon, which is listed as a domestic terrorist threat by the FBI.
