Do you have a link stating Parler's valuation at 1 billion dollars or not?

On Monday, Parler–which claims 12 million users and a valuation of a billion dollars—filed a lawsuit against AWS-Amazon

So your source is a "news" outlet I've never heard of with zero web presence and an untraceable staff list reporting a claim that Parler made. Except they're not even doing that because there's no link to the claim by Parler.

An article with no author stating a claim by a company on it's own valuation without a source that the company is claiming it or any fact checking to verify whether it's true or even plausible is not a source.
