周日在接受福克斯新闻频道“Sunday Morning Futures”节目采访时，加州共和党众议员努内斯指出，脸书等社媒巨头“可以决定什么是暴力和非暴力，这很荒谬”。
他接着表示，“我不知道司法部或联邦调查局（FBI）现在到底在哪儿。这显然违反了反垄断法、民权法和《诈骗影响和腐败组织法》（RICO）法规”。
努内斯告诉节目主持人玛丽亚•巴蒂罗姆（Maria Bartiromo）：“应该对协调进行这项攻击的所有人展开诈骗调查，这项攻击不仅针对一家公司，还针对所有像我们这样的人，比如我，比如你玛丽亚。”
谷歌和苹果公司目前都已把Parler从它们的在线应用程序商店上下架，亚马逊公司也已通知Parler，将在周日午夜关闭Parler的所有服务器。
Parler公司的高管说，被亚马逊移除将意味着该软件会下线一段时间，他们正在寻求替代网络服务商。
Parler创始人兼首席执行官约翰•马兹（John Matze）在其平台的帖文中表示，亚马逊此举旨在“试图彻底消除互联网上的言论自由”。
对于科技巨头的霸凌行为，努内斯指出：“这些这样做的首席执行官应该受到刑事起诉。我已经和我的许多同事、众议院的共和党人和几名参议员谈过了……最高法院，这些联邦法官，必须介入。”
从上周五开始，推特等社交媒体先后永久或暂停了川普的账号，这导致大量的川普支持者涌向Parler平台，Parler在苹果公司应用程序商店上的下载量也急剧上升，排名第一。但苹果和谷歌随后下架了Parler，亚马逊则釜底抽薪，宣布将从周日午夜起停止为Parler提供网络服务。这使得Parler平台将被迫停用一段时间。
Tech Giants Block Parler, Republican Lawmakers Call for Criminal Investigation

U.S. Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), the ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, said Sunday (Jan. 10) that a criminal investigation should be launched into alleged racketeering over the U.S. tech giant's blocking of social media outlet Parler.
In an interview on Fox News Channel's "Sunday Morning Futures" on Sunday, California Republican Rep. Nunes said that social media giants such as Facebook "can decide what is violent and what is not, and that's ridiculous.
He went on to say, "I don't know where the hell the Justice Department or the FBI is right now. This is a clear violation of antitrust laws, civil rights laws and the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) statute.
Nunes told show host Maria Bartiromo, "There should be a fraud investigation of everyone who coordinated this attack, which was not just against one company, but against all people like us, like me, like you Maria. "
Both Google and Apple have now taken Parler down from their online app stores, and Amazon.com has notified Parler that it will shut down all of Parler's servers at midnight Sunday.
Parler executives said the removal by Amazon will mean the software will be offline for a while and they are seeking an alternative Web service provider.
Parler founder and CEO John Matze said in a post on his platform that Amazon's move was "an attempt to completely eliminate free speech on the Internet.
In response to the tech giant's bullying, Nunes said, "These CEOs who do this should be criminally prosecuted. I've talked to many of my colleagues, House Republicans and several senators ...... Supreme Court, these federal judges, must step in."
Starting last Friday, social media outlets such as Twitter have permanently or suspended Trump's account, which led to a flood of Trump supporters flocking to the Parler platform and a sharp rise in downloads of Parler to No. 1 on Apple's app store. But Apple and Google subsequently took down Parler, and Amazon pulled the plug and announced it would stop providing web services for Parler as of midnight Sunday. This will force the Parler platform to be discontinued for some time.
