Judge rejects Parler's attempt to force Amazon to host it
The evidence Parler “has submitted in support of the claim is both dwindlingly slight, and disputed by AWS,” the judge said in a decision denying Parler a preliminary injunction.

Amazon Web Services was within its rights to shut down social media platform Parler, a federal judge ruled Thursday, rejecting a move by the site to force Amazon to reinstate it.

U.S. District Judge Barbara Rothstein in Seattle denied a request by Parler for a preliminary injunction that sought to require AWS to continue hosting the site. Rothstein said Parler offered little more than conjecture that AWS had conspired with Twitter to harm its business and said the web hosting service “argued convincingly” that it sought to prevent Parler from being used to promote violence.

The evidence Parler “has submitted in support of the claim is both dwindlingly slight, and disputed by AWS,” she said in a decision denying Parler a preliminary injunction.

Nah, Trump is too busy playing golf in Florida. If someone gets the lead on him he's going to organize a riot to stop the steal and rig the golf course in his favor.

Meh, forcing a private company to do business with another private company is communist.

Then again, there's also the element of we shouldn't side with trillionaires over small business, tbh.

Trillionaires... or violent fascists...

No easy choice there. Both should go way, IMO.

Fuck Parler. No private business should be forced to take on any customer they don't want for any reason.

Amazon AWS only likes social networks/websites that promote identity politics, isis, and child porn like Twitter does. :tu

It's their right as a capitalist country, and a private business to reserve the right to deny service to anyone. Even if it works against me, I support that right. There are plenty conservative lawyers, if they are doing something illegal, take them to court.

[Leetonidas]

Fuck Parler. No private business should be forced to take on any customer they don't want for any reason.

Pretty much. Nothing is stomping them from hosting their own shit I would imagine. People like to cry about censorship but corporations don't owe them shit. Too many don't understand the 1st amendment tbh

And if the net was positive they'd do it. But if they said the extra money isn't worth losing their customer base, that's a business call. It's always a business call.

except colorado had its own state wide civil rights act that prohibited discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation, so the law was on the books

theres no law that categorizes political leanings as a protected class

I don't disagree, but the government needs to do with the big tech companies what Wilson administration did with Standard Oil, tbh. Oligopolies are evil

Parler CEO John Matze Says Company's Board Fired Him

EXCLUSIVE – Parler has terminated CEO John Matze, according to a memo Matze sent to staffers that has been obtained by Fox News.

"On January 29, 2021, the Parler board controlled by Rebekah Mercer decided to immediately terminate my position as CEO of Parler. I did not participate in this decision," Matze wrote. "I understand that those who now control the company have made some communications to employees and other third parties that have unfortunately created confusion and prompted me to make this public statement."
