@donk_enby said she believes Twitter has been relying too much on its automated moderation tools, which have led to dubious suspensions of users not actually violating of its rules. This has the effect of “driving people to toxic echo chambers like Parler,” she said.
So Twitter overcompensates...Parler in trying to be more methodical probably misses too much
True justice is punishing the person responsible for the death he or she caused, not the messaging service that person used to find out where to commit his or her crime.Originally Posted by lost in melb.
Again, you do not punish an entire population for the crimes of one person or several.

On Monday, the 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.”
Amazon said Parler presented a “very real risk to public safety.”
The lawsuit filed by Parler starts by asserting, “Last Month, Defendant Amazon Web Services, Inc. (‘AWS’) and the popular social media platform Twitter signed a multi-year deal so that AWS could support the daily delivery of millions of tweets. AWS currently provides that same service to Parler, a conservative microblogging alternative and competitor to Twitter.”
After noting that Twitter’s permanent ban on President Trump from its platform had catalyzed conservative users to move to Parler and that as a result “Parler became the number one free app downloaded from Apple’s App Store,” the lawsuit notes AWS’ announcement that it would suspend Parler’s account effective Sunday, January 10th, at 11:59 PM PST.
“AWS was not confident Parler could properly police its platform regarding content that encourages or incites violence against others,” the lawsuit states.
The lawsuit points out, “However, Friday night one of the top trending tweets on Twitter was ‘Hang Mike Pence.’ But AWS has no plans nor has it made any threats to suspend Twitter’s account.”
The lawsuit claims that “AWS’s decision to effectively terminate Parler’s account is apparently motivated by political animus. It is also apparently designed to reduce competition in the microblogging services market to the benefit of Twitter. Thus, AWS is violating Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act in combination with Defendant Twitter. AWS is also breaching its contract with Parler, which requires AWS to provide Parler with a thirty-day notice before terminating service, rather than the less than thirty-hour notice AWS actually provided. Finally, AWS is committing intentional interference with prospective economic advantage given the millions of users expected to sign up in the near future.”
The lawsuit asks for a temporary restraining order against Amazon to stop it from “shutting down Parler’s account at the end of today.”
“Doing so is the equivalent of pulling the plug on a hospital patient on life support,” the suit reads. “It will kill Parler’s business—at the very time it is set to skyrocket.”
“The Apple and Google app stores — essentially the only places for Americans to download mobile apps — stopped carrying Parler over the weekend,” The Hill reported.

I gave it 2 minutes. Yep, Corps are pulling the plug left right and centre. It's for their bottom line. People will boycott products and services that are related to people that support Trump. It's called the free market. I'm sure parler can go and find another company that supports it since it's done nothing wrong yeah?
The law may not see it that way. Is Twitter not able to look after it's bottom line?
Parlet hasn't been banned. Amazon doesn't want to lose market share when people start boycotting it through it's association with parler
Its amazing how some people hold every single view the TV MSM CIA want them to hold, even when it changes, they change right along with it like the beat never skipped never skipped
The law should be based on true justice and not on politics.

I don't know why I said law. Whatever...
Point is who is going to be out of pocket for 'justice'
Amazon's not going to lose market share. Bezos is effectively in every single person's life now. He's the evil empire that we used to joke Disney and Walmart was. He'd probably get more people on his side if he took a stand against the booing crowd and kept Parler up and running.

Well it's done. Truth be told I'm not for censoring Trump long-term, but there seems to be the possibility of violence leading up to the inauguration. Somebody needs to take responsibility for that. I think there's a limit to the "punish individuals" approach.
why don't you guys ever talk about what a loose cannon Trump is? A couple of tweets and he could ignite the whole thing. You know that. Too risky
