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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Well maybe it’s actually you who does not know the meaning of censorship or capitalism.

Here is the definition:

Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information, on the basis that such material is considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or "inconvenient." Censorship can be conducted by governments, private institutions, and other controlling bodies.


Stating I think something is censorship does not mean I do not know what capitalism is.. they are not directly correlated...

What a ridiculous assumption you’ve come to. It’s like quoting someone who disagrees with meat eating and saying they don’t know what capitalism is... they can go hand in hand

You miss the whole point, and not for the first time. They haven't kicked him off their platforms because of speech. He's said some horrific things without any action being taken against him and the maga's. They've kicked him off because supporting nazi's/coups/insurrections is not something corporations want to be seen openly doing. Has a habit of affecting the bottom line.

You are missing the point I am not denying it’s capitalism at all, it is capitalism. But it’s also censorship. It can be both...

It can, but it isn't. If Trumps coup attempt had been successful and he was now El Presidente, those same companies would be up trumps arse, because he would have all the power. They wouldn't be making a stand against him, which shows it's a profit/reputational issue, not speech.

Look at the definition of censorship again. It is not just purely speech that makes Something qualify as censorship. It is censorship. Prevent public communication can qualify as censorship which if this is not based on speech it is based on public communication..
