Parler drops offline after Amazon pulls support

Parler has dropped offline as Amazon pulled support for its "free speech" social network.

Parler has dropped offline as Amazon pulled support for its "free speech" social network. Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ disinformation reporter Marianna Spring explains why the site has been blocked by a number of big technology firms in the last few days. And we get wider context from Helen Fenwick, professor of law at Durham Law School. Also in the programme, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's John Campbell reports from Northern Ireland on the impact the end of the Brexit transition period, less than a fortnight ago, is having there. Plus, our regular workplace commentator Peter Morgan reflects on how those of us working from home have had to find their way through a maze of new technologies to communicate, with varying levels of success.
