You and me both! If it's free there is no reason the Epoch Times need my email address. I did that for something about Trump and all of a sudden I'm being spammed by about a thousand different things.
No thank you
Just to be clear I'm not part of parlor I'm not trying to sign up for parlor. The Epoch Times is requiring me to submit email and password to view.

Yes you are. There's no request for $$, but Epoch Times (a Conservative news org) is mearly asking the viewer to sign up for a newsleter produced by the site.
Nothing different than this site.
But if you're not inclined to sign up for email news then that's your perogative. And then not to complian you can't see the message.
No different than like here where unless you sign up you can't post messages.

A more recent article from The Epoch Times on Parler's return status. Those logging into Parler and getting a message indicating Technical difficulties, means that Parler is up and running on a Web-server from another non AWS hosting site. As the article mentions, they have just recovered their data from Amazon on Friday Jan. 15, 2021. They say they are confident they will be fully up and functioning sometime by the end of this month January. For those not wanting to sign up for Epoch, I copied the contents of the article below the article link:

"Will Return by End of January
De-Platformed social media website Parler may return by the end of January, coming after the site reappeared online after Amazon Web Services (AWS) took the site down due to alleged violations, according to Parler CEO John Matze.
“I’m confident that by the end of the month, we’ll be back up,” Matze told Fox News on Sunday night. The website reappeared online with a brief statement from Matze.
According to a WHOIS search, Parler appeared to register its domain with Epik web hosting, which also hosts Gab.
“Every day it changes wildly, but I feel confident now,” Matze said, according to the Fox News interview. “We’re making significant progress. When you go into Parler.com it doesn’t go into the void now, it hits a server, and it returns just one piece of information.”
Matze wrote in an update on the site that “now seems like the right time to remind you all—both lovers and haters—why we started this platform.”
“We believe privacy is paramount and free speech essential, especially on social media,” he remarked in his statement, dated Jan. 16. “Our aim has always been to provide a nonpartisan public square where individuals can enjoy and exercise their rights to both. We will resolve any challenge before us and plan to welcome all of you back soon. We will not let civil discourse perish!”

Matze told the broadcaster that he was able to recover Parler’s data from Amazon on Friday, Jan. 15, which is a key step in relaunching the platform. “Now we can actually rebuild Parler,” Matze explained. “It’s critically important.”
On Jan. 11, Parler filed a lawsuit against Amazon Web Services, saying that the firm should reinstate its services while saying Amazon engaged in monopolistic practices. Amazon, in a responding court filing, said Parler violated its terms and services by not moderating threats of violence and other allegedly egregious content, although Parler has since claimed a representative with Amazon appeared to be only concerned about whether President Donald Trump joined the social media website after Twitter and other big tech companies banned his accounts.
The Epoch Times reached out to AWS for comment on Sunday.
Matze added to Fox on Sunday that posting his brief message was a “big milestone” in getting the platform back online.
“We’re going to be putting periodic updates there,” Matze said “We’re going to try to get an update out every day… so that people can stay up to date with the site.”
Other than Amazon, Google and Apple removed Parler’s app from the firms’ respective app programs.
The move to suspend both Parler and Trump from various big tech services drew condemnation from civil liberties groups and conservatives, who have argued that it represents a slippery slope into more censorship.
Parler, which describes itself as a “free speech” social media website, drew a number of Trump supporters and other conservatives, including senators and House representatives. Following Trump’s Twitter ban, the website became the No. 1 app on various app stores before it was taken down."
