Is Amazon cutting off Parler?
Is Amazon cutting off Parler? Amazon’s cloud unit will no longer provide services to Parler, the social media platform popular with conservatives and extremists.
When did Amazon drop Parler?
Amazon Web Services suspended service to Parler on January 9th, effectively shutting down the social network. It’s failed to secure a replacement web host, and it argued in court that Amazon was exercising unfair monopoly power in taking down the site.
Did Parler sue Amazon?
Amazon “did not want Parler to be able to provide a new platform to conservative voices, including Donald Trump, or to compete effectively with other microblogging platforms such as Twitter,” Parler lawyer Angelo Calfo wrote in the lawsuit.
Why did AWS drop Parler?
In the email, Amazon Web Services’ Trust and Safety team told Parler chief policy officer Amy Peikoff that the platform continues to host “violent content” that violates AWS’ terms of service.
