Thumbs up BREAKING: Parler Sues Amazon After Being Suspended




On Monday, the left wing social media site Parler filed a lawsuit against Amazon,
claiming that Amazon’s suspension of Parler violated antitrust laws and
breached the contract between the two entities.

As Parler went dark Monday morning, CEO John Matze told Fox News that the
site would try to “get back online as quickly as possible,” but warned that
the platform could be down for as long as a week.

Reuters reported, “Amazon suspended Parler from its Amazon Web Services
(AWS) unit for violating AWS’s terms of services by failing to effectively deal
with a steady increase in violent content, according to an email by an AWS
Trust and Safety team to Parler, seen by Reuters. An Amazon spokesperson
confirmed the letter was authentic.”

It's like threatening to get the police involved on here if you get banned, and no one would ever do that, I'm sure

I kind of see where cases like this are coming from,. but at the end of the day, amazon is a private company, and can ban whoever they see fit, for any reason tbh.

Again, a private hosting company reserves the right to deny service. Parler has no ground to stand on.

More censorship. Fake reasons as well ‘violent content’ is on every single social media platform...

It's because allegedly Parler weren't banning the members making the violent content rather than there were violent content on Parler, because as you rightly say all Social Media (and Forums tbh) would be banned.

Parler lacked the discipline to take on ''violent content'' so it is rightfully removed from the internet

every social media has their rules/policies and i totally support Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Youtube to take on all far right people who do nothing but post hateful nasty content (whom abuse their social media status for the worse, which is not what social media is meant for)


also calling it ''censorship'' how ridiculous the people who continue to spread more hate in the world, do not deserve to have freedom of speech if they just abuse it

and who specifically was doing the judging what content was "violent" and then checking that the person was not banned?

who is the judge here and what are their credentials?

Trying to inform the right wing what censorship is, is like trying to teach a donkey how to play Beethoven's 29th on the piano.

True.

Its not even original though. They've been claiming censorship whenever an arsehole get banned for being an arsehole. Its quite comical to see this argument trotted out again.

People need to stop being snowflakes and so sensitive

If you want to get ahead in work or whatever in life you need to be tougher and just get on with it instead of just being a forever victim. Crying over words Donald Trump, or whoever else (Katie Hopkins or Farage) is just not worth your time. Complaining about it also. These people get ahead in life because they’re ambitious and spend less time whining and being ‘woke’

If someone disagrees with your views on LGBT, politics, religion or whatever stop crying about it and move on

Yes, considering they are so snowflakey that they tried to launch a coup when they lost an election, remember how the right accused Hillary supporters of sour grapes in 2016? You just can't make up the complete and utter hypocrisy.

You've been screaming about censorship over Donald Trump, a man with a press conference room in his house, because he was banned on Twitter. Can you really call anyone else a snowflake? Can you really accuse anyone of being a victim if you're pushing a narrative that the right are being censored when they clearly aren't?

Your post is nothing but rampant projection.

As someone who isn't a capitalist, it's baffling to see capitalists not understand how capitalism works.

Applauding and understanding are two different things.

When it comes down to it, Amazon isn't legally obligated to give anyone server space, they have the right to refuse anyone to use their servers, because they are their servers.
