A U.S. federal judge on Thursday rejected Parler’s demand that Amazon.com Inc restore web hosting services for the social media platform, which Amazon had cut off following the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol.
U.S. District Judge Barbara Rothstein in Seattle said Parler was unlikely to prove Amazon breached its contract or violated antitrust law by suspending service on Jan. 10, and that it was “not a close call.”
She also forcefully rejected the suggestion that the public interest would be served by a preliminary injunction requiring Amazon Web Services to “host the kind of abusive, violent content at issue in this case, particularly in light of the recent riots at the U.S. Capitol.”
“That event,” she added, “was a tragic reminder that inflammatory rhetoric can - more swiftly and easily than many of us would have hoped - turn a lawful protest into a violent insurrection.”

Dance with the Devil, and he might just step on your toes.
I have no idea what Parker’s CEO was thinking being so dependent on AWS.
It was only a matter of time. And just another example of Mr. Robinson’s genius keeping FR independent from all of big tech.
Note I’m not celebrating Parker’s demise. Hardly. In fact the opposite. Just saying this is another sad example of the big tech monopoly wielding its power.
Parker=Parler.
Dang autocorrect (and fat fingers).
Damn, had no idea Amazon had web services. I dropped Prime after Amazon dumped Parler. Ordered from alternate sources when I needed a birthday gift for my son.
Oh that must have been soooo satisfying.
In other words, she, too, is a liberal making political policy from the bench. Seems we Trump supporters need to sue her for slander.
Amazon should be FORCED offline as they support violence by the communists.
Real simple, Parler needs servers, big and fast.

If they are Russian or Ukrainian.....be sure to wave hello at the NSA on your way by.
...get up and try it again. It’s the American way. Get back on that unbroken horse, and...Yeehaw! ;)
It is time for us to fire big tech...
- quit your amazon account
- quit your facebook
- quit your twitter
- quit banking with Banks that fund Democrats
- quit staying at hotels that don’t serve your kind if they are famous
- quit funding hollywood
Of course the Judge ruled this way. Did anybody think differently? So, what are you going to do about it?

Courts, everything is fixed an rigged. We live in a fascist state and have lost our freedom.
All this new party BS and crap will never be allowed to happen.
We are fresh out of nice guy ways to regain our country.
We need to pray that the Lord gives these judges a “wake up call”.
