Will Parler have standing? I’m glad they did this, though I think it has no chance of success. The time for voting and filing lawsuits has passed. The time to split things up is here.

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?

I don’t blame my FRiends here from being confused on the issue of standing, because the issue is the tool of choice for corrupt courts to bounce legal actions they don’t like. All it means is that a party has an actual legal interest in the subject matter of the dispute at hand. Plainly Parler has standing to sue on its own contract. My concern is that the user agreement probably has pretty broad clauses allowing Amazon to do what it has done.
