Parler — a social media platform favored by the far-right — sues Amazon, saying Amazon Web Services' decision to stop hosting it amounts to a 'death blow.'

Parler, the alternative social media platform favored by the far-right, sued Amazon on Monday in response to being deplatformed, alleging an antitrust violation, breach of contract and interference with the company's business relationships with users.

The complaint asks a federal court for a temporary restraining order against Amazon and calls Amazon Web Services' decision a"death blow" to Parler."Without AWS, Parler is finished as it has no way to get online," the complaint said."And a delay of granting this TRO by even one day could also sound Parler's death knell as President Trump and others move on to other platforms.

Twitter has no right to remove the President from his account it is a violation of 1st Amendment.

Oh...I'm crying

Go get em, Parler

Why you say far right ? I’m not far right and I support. Jackass holes.

Pretty sure if parler continued to exist it would result in the death blow of a citizen on biden’s inauguration day. I’d rather have parler dead than real people

Awe, the hate groups are mad because private enterprise doesn’t recognize freedom of hate speech. Bless your hearts.

Amazon is a private company. They can do what they want. Why would they want to support a violent social media cite They should be applauded for considering American citizens’ safety over money!!

Good luck with that. amazon has an army of lawyers

I didn't realize it was Amazons job to keep parler afloat

💥💥Real Breaking news: Pelosi’s been arrested. How many laptops were confiscated by military sting? Since the legal avenues failed us, we are installing martial law. Tomorrow Gen Flynn is going to be your interim Pres!. We’re going to have new elections in all 50 states! 💥🍿

Excellent

P 15 formal hearing advised me to bring a lawyer they include in a official city of Temple City ca letter to be prepared to be questioned about being a disturbance to the city they claimed to have three exibits and my copy was entirely blacked out. How the hell am I to defend

P14 the copies of the photos very disturbing and the office police report are at the los Angeles county sheriff department substation on Las tunas drive in temple city. Tracy hause attempted to lie acuse me of what I have no idea but they threatened me to attend a formal hearing

From reports on the way Parler was used, it looks like a 'death blow' is well deserved.

Good luck with that. (For stupidtrumpsters -- it was sarcasm).

They are absolutely right on their demand to be able to serve free speech. I am sure that during the many years CNN has been on the news business NEVER they have been silenced or limited.

The 'communism bad' crowd has decided they hate capitalism and love communism

Why do you say Far right ? CNN is fake news

You can’t sue a private company.

But It's OK for Facebook and Twitter to allow the violence they promote. Open your eyes and change the channel. This is flat censorship of opinions they don't want you to hear. Stop being spoon fed fools and so blinded by hatred for trump that you miss what's happening around you

But if Parler thought decertifying JoeBiden's election was fine,why whine about deplatforming it?

LMAO 'I won't stop the Nazis from using my app, but YOU are so that makes you a big meanie because you're killing my business!'

I assume Amazon thought about this a little before proceeding.

This entire comment section.

Jeff Benzo bout to crush these lil MAGA supporters don’t fuck with the richest mf in the world

Amazon will win. Who the heck wants to host Parler anyways? With the violent rhetoric spewed on Parler, no company in the USA will subject themselves to that type of liability if an attack occurs. I doubt any US based company will host Parler...not worth the risk.

It can go away. I won't shed a single tear over it.

shameful do Americans needs impeachment or money in the time of CRISIS when Americans are dying and need immediate 1. covid medicines 2. hungry homeless needs food & money 3. Citizens needs every single penny to survive

And....

let'em sue

...something like the 'death blows' last Wednesday?...organized predominately on parler platform?

Good

I thought they were busy bees already at work creating their own hardware/platform because they were so smart and hadn't relied on AWS for this. Wasn't it going to be just 1 short week for this to be completed? But today it's a death blow to their product. Could they be lying?

Amazon has a right to have a right who they put on their app

Awesome

An app sues Amazon because, and correct me if I’m wrong but, because if Amazon stops hosting their app they will fail..? Someone please explain to me the grounds for this lawsuit bcuz my brain can’t comprehend how that is worthy of a lawsuit.

Hahahahaha

Good luck with that... Pretty sure a nice Russian server will host it.

Live look at Amazon lawyers

Hahahahaha

Amazon is a private company therefore they have the rights to drop them

It’s probably legal, but it’s not right or consistent

Only tyrants CENSOR speech!!!😝

Parker not just social media but socialist

Yeah, that’s the point you fucking doorknob

Ah well. They did it to themselves with their off the wall platform

Without merit

Maybe Trump can finance it.

Called free enterprise, Parler dummies. If you act like idiots, you get canceled.

Hold your ground Amazon...they have to go

I am not sure Parler’s attorneys are on par with Amazon’s.

parler_app

Good....stop hosting these desporables

They broke TOS. I don't know what their argument could be

Parler going up against Amazon...

There is numerous competitors available for hosting the site. Amazon warned Parler before taking down site.

So perhaps they should have taken objections by Amazon, Google and Apple a little more seriously before it came to a head last week.

Perfect!

Maybe they'll find a host in China... Oh wait.. the same ppl thought Tik Tok was dangerous especially with US user data so that won't happen..

Maybe instead of lawyers they should use their Amazon Prime account and order someone who cares? So, that new Cloud was Parler going up in smoke? When virtual becomes harsh reality...should’ve had a backup plan?

Good, die then

Parler couldn’t figure out people’s pronouns.

It is time to confront the giants, who think they are over the ordinary people.

Parler thinking they could successfully sue Amazon is joke of the day.

Parler: not hosting me is a 'death-blow'. Amazon: NMP (not my problem). TOS, bitches.

😂😂 Good luck with that Parler. Maybe your members will pay your attorney fees.

Thoughts and prayers

Oh come on, I just logged in to see how Trump fans are going to 'kill' Melania Trump on Parler after she criticizing the siege. You tell me it's down? Nowhere to observe crazy Trump supporters now😔

Sometimes you're judged by the company you keep.

Death blow against hate, attacks against democracy is a good thing.

I think people are confusing the difference between freedom of speech and threatening our democracy. Rioting and domestic terrorism is not a form of freedom. It's a choice! A choice that does not need to be supporeted by any social media platform. Stupidity/ignorance is freedom.

Private Corporations, folks. Get real!!

Who in their right mind would realistically want to host any app that fosters hate and violence? There is that very thin line to cross in regards to having free speech. There is nothing free in life.

Nonsense

No person or business can be forced to participate in preparing or committing a crime. Quite opposite: if a person or business feel that their services are used for criminal purposes it is their inalienable right and duty to stop providing these services.

terilyns68 cut off all enablers

😂😂😂😂😂

O well, no thoughts and prayers for terrorist platform

I'm sorry, did I miss something? Are private companies obligated to keep other private companies afloat? Even ones that violated their terms?

Byeeeee

Bezos has enough in pocket change to buy Parler and shut it down permanently

That's capitalism! 😂😂😂😂😂
