Parler is Black and the Amazon is Woolworths...
How long till Free Republic is taken off and its members sent behind barbed wire?
Yep, no doubt. Absolutely baffles me though why any company would use something like Amazon of all things to act as their server.
Now they also need to sue Google and Twitter for interference with a contract.
The courts may intercede for breach of contract but not sure of the antitrust approach.....
Would have to see their arguments.....
Court will say they have no standing
Ooooohhh that’ll learn ‘em...
Too bad we can’t bring back dueling.
At this point, Bezos would either be a stone cold killer, dead, or a lot nicer to everyone...
There is no credible evidence that Parler has been removed from the internet. That claim has been debunked.
Anyone go into CM/ECF or Pacer and see if a judge was assigned? If so, who appointed them?
Parler is Tucker and Amazon is GM-Chrysler..........................
In more “normal” times, this would be encouraging. What Amazon did was clear violation of Antitrust and probably at least a dozen US laws on torturous business interference, breach of contract, monopolistic behavior, etc.
In today’s political climate? WHO KNOWS if this will even go anywhere or be heard by a court of law. Let’s hope so, cuz this CANNOT STAND.
American courts? HA HA HA
If we were still America, they wouldn't have to sue in the first place.
Thinking most of the research on the filing and couple of rough drafts were written several months ago and only required tweaking for the precise circumstances
Many companies (including lots in the Fortune 500) use Amazon Web Services as it’s one of the largest Web hosting options out there.
Oh noes, the Facebook/Twitter censorbot is now on FreeRepublic !!!
By the speaking of Parler, I started a Twitter account a few days ago using a fake name just to debate the lefties on there. Holy cow, it’s basically 100% communism. I post one anti-commie comment and I got like 40 replies in 15 minutes by people cursing me out “You don’t know what communism is! I bet you never even read Marx! Communism brings equality for all!” It’s absolutely unbelievable. We should invite these asshats on Freep one day, and have an open debate, just utterly tear them to shreds.
It's Parler, and I would take that bet. I'm thinking they are back online before the night.
They are the injured party. 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?
Tee hee.
