A group of Amazon corporate employees is calling on the company to stop providing cloud services to Parler, a social media app popular with Trump supporters.
In a tweet on Saturday, employee advocacy group Amazon Employees for Climate Justice said Amazon Web Services should “deny Parler services until it removes posts inciting violence, including at the Presidential inauguration.” AWS provides cloud services to Parler that host its website.
Representatives from Amazon and Parler didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
Pressure has been mounting for Amazon to stop hosting Parler on AWS after other tech giants took action against the social media app in the wake of the deadly U.S. Capitol riot earlier this week. Google on Friday removed Parler from its app store for Android users, Google Play Store. BuzzFeed News reported on Friday that Apple has threatened to pull Parler from its App Store.
Parler, which launched in 2018, has emerged as a popular platform for President Trump’s allies in the last year by billing itself as a free speech alternative to mainstream social media services like Twitter and Facebook.

And if Amazon doesn’t, these employees will quit their jobs on principle. Right?
Everyone should be done with Amazon anyway. You are just funding the enemy.
How about ripping down statues as if southerners have no right to their history. And do any of these detroyers know that the entire South was given amnesty in order to heal the country. No respsect for history and these people like BLM instigators are simply inciters....and the DEms promote it.
Lot’s of trucks driving around, and sitting on empty lots with “Amazon” written on the side. ALl kinds of things can happen.
Go wipe your asses with your food stamps, you losers.
As soon as it’s nationalized, the government will contract it out to...Amazon! The government doesn’t actually do anything themselves, they oversee contracts for it.
Amazon, just saying, you don’t want all of us Trump supporters to boycott you.
I hope so, but whoever takes them will feel the lash.
Why aren’t you done with them already? Too dependent on their services and don’t want to be inconvenienced?
Put “we support the police” stickers on them. Within hours the things inside will magically disappear.
Reminds me of 1995 after OKC. Another great purge.
I just responded ded to their twit told them to go kiss china’s ass.
No, but Jeff Bezos does and Parler runs on AWS, so how long do you think he will allow it to continue?
Parler can and should move right now. They will have to eventually.
Gab runs it’s own servers so they’re only beholden to their bandwidth provider. But if you don’t think ANY thing on the internet can be disrupted or shut down, you don’t understand how things work.
ROFL
Methinks you don't understand the tech world very well, they basically do when it comes to matters like this.
I converted a bunch of credit card points to Amazon gift cards. I used some of it to join Prime. Get to watch some free TV and get free delivery. So today for example, I made a $7.00 purchase with free overnight delivery. It is a Sunday delivery. Hopefully this is a loser deal for them. Maybe I will return it?
At any rate, I have a long driveway so watching the truck drive up it or the driver walk up it on a Sunday probably costs more than they made. I will keep squandering my gift cards in this fashion until they are gone. Then Amazon is gone. Just think if every Prime member did this.
Boycott Washington Post and Amazon
Time to cut all ties to Amazon?
“A group of Amazon corporate employees is calling on the company to...”
Gee. A “group”. Wow. Better do what they say.
