An argument could be made that the simultaneous actions of Apple, Google, Amazon, etc, suggest collusion, that the various companies are combining behind the scenes.

Take for example, you use AT&T (or any phone provider for that matter )for your phone services. Your company RELIES on those services to conduct ordinary business and may also need those services in case of any emergency.
Let’s say AT&T decides on it’s own merit that it simply does not like the company and cuts it’s services. AT&T spreads lies to the media and all of it’s vendors tell the company it no longer wants to do business with them either. They eventually go out of business.
Shit is about to hit the fan.
Is it just me, or did firearm forum ar15.com get taken down earlier today, too? Like Parler, they were foolishly hosted on AWS. Same set of error messages as the ones that show up for parler.com
The claim that Parler has been removed by Amazon, Apple and Google is disputed. Furthermore, it is a baseless claim and a conspiracy theory and has been debunked. Furthermore, any assertion to the contrary is an attempt to incite violent insurrection.
The assigned judge: Barbara Jacobs Rothstein
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara_Jacobs_Rothstein
She is 82 yeas old and was nominated by Jimmy in 1979.
In all seriosity, I am happy to see that they were able to find lawyers to take their case.
From the first few paragraphs thy have two points.
1. Breach of contract - They were supposed to have 30 day notice.
2. Antitrust - The reason given was apparently motivated by political animus as similar posts on AWS hosted Twitter have appeard Twitter, did not remove them and Twitter is not being terminated. AWS apears to be reducing Twitters competition.
Here is the complaint: https://cdn.pacermonitor.com/pdfserver/SGS7Z4Y/137165184/Parler_LLC_v_Amazon_Web_Services_Inc__wawdce-21-00031__0001.0.pdf
Let me try this again...

YES!!!!!
“My bet is the courts defecate all over Parlar.”
My bet would be that the court would claim they have No Standing in the case.Thats how the courts get away with refusing to adjudicate these anti-left things.
A lot of the issues that have occurred politically would have been solved if the courts did their jobs. But the Judiciary is as corrupt as the house and the senate.
Thanks! Nicely written complaint. Just the right balance of legalese and layman’s language.
It needs to go to the SCOTUS but what a joke THAT IS.
Now, if there is pressure on ICANN—who assigns domain name themselves—on banning Conservative domain names, then it could get very ugly.
Yep.
All judges are ultimately deep state or cannot resist Amazon’s back door money
In terms of judge shopping, whey is it these cases never end up in front of one of the 300+ judges that the President appointed over the past 5 years? They always end up in front of corrupt judges like Sullivan and Stacey Abrams’ sister. Are they all corrupt?
“It isn’t clear to me why they filed in federal court though. This looks like a simple contract dispute and federal courts do not have general jurisdiction over torts or contracts. Are Parlor and Amazon located in different states? Is there some federal law in question?”
Parler is headquartered in Nevada, Amazon in Washington. As long as the dispute is over $75,000 (clearly is), there is federal diversity jurisdiction. That is even assuming there is no anti-trust claim, which there may well be.
Good, but this is a bad sign.
If Parler had an alternative hosting arrangement, they probably wouldn’t have bothered. They’re likely doing this because they can’t do the migration.
Since the courts have shown themselves worthless, Parler is F’d.
ARFCom is still up and running.
But I do hope they have a plan.
