Web Services has responded to Parler's lawsuit against it with a series of screenshots of hateful content -- loaded with threats of violence and racial slurs -- that allegedly spread on the platform, in new court filings.for months as it exploded in popularity among right-wing users. In the wake of the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol last week, Amazon Web Services abruptly suspended web hosting services to Parler, essentially forcing it offline.
"AWS provides technology and services to customers across the political spectrum, and we respect Parler’s right to determine for itself what content it will allow," the spokesperson said."However, it is clear that there is significant content on Parler that encourages and incites violence against others, and that Parler is unable or unwilling to promptly identify and remove this content, which is a violation of our terms of service.
Some of the posts in the court documents also show calls for violence, one user writing,"I do approve of actual violence towards Antifa and BLM" and"Kill’em ALL!"The Parler logo is seen on an Apple iPhone in this photo illustration on Jan. 11, 2021. The Parler app, developed as an alternative social media platform for conservatives has been taken from the Apple App Store and the Google Play store.
Parler CEO John Matze responded to AWS taking it offline in a statement last Sunday, saying the company does not"condone or accept violence on our platform and we never will.""Our team worked hard to produce a strong set of Community Guidelines, which expressly forbids content which incites or threatens violence, or other activity which breaks the law.

All speech is free speech. Don’t let this desire act from the fact Amazon had just signed a multi year contract with Twitter. Who also refuses to remove actionable threats of violence This violates antitrust law Period
Amazon dropping facts! 😂
Listen I’m no Jeff Bezos fan, but threatening to kill him on a platform run on his servers and then wondering why it’s being taken off is just dumbfounding.
Bullshit
AMAZON'S STOCK will CRASH very soon. We are NOT 'sheeple' and we are DONE with crap like this!
I’m sorry but a muppet could write a search query to identify keywords in posts written by these domestic terrorists.
Why am I not shocked that ABC takes a pro Amazon tone in its headline. Truly , all of you ARE in it together. To stamp out others with different views. Now , just being conservative is somehow punishable by Big Tech AND Big Business.
So should we pull up content that Has been on Facebook and Twitter by the left yet allowed Hypocrites
Civil discourse?

Yeah a basket of deplorables. In another post highlighted in AWS's court filings, a user writes, 'My wishes for a racewar [sic] have never been higher' and that they think about killing Black people and Jewish people 'more and more often.'
