A group of Amazon employees is demanding the company sever its relationship with social networking site Parler and stop providing web hosting services to the platform. Amazon Employees for Climate Change and Justice tweeted Saturday that Amazon Web Services, the company’s internet infrastructure service that is the backbone of many websites and apps, should “deny Parler services until it removes posts inciting violence, including at the Presidential inauguration.
”Parler has become popular among supporters of President Trump, as platforms like Twitter and Facebook tightened their moderation policies. The group of Amazon employees includes many higher-skilled workers at the company, including data scientists and software developers. It’s not the first time the group has questioned its company’s practices; it published a letter in April 2019 calling on Amazon to adopt a plan to address climate change, and end AWS’s contracts with fossil fuel companies.

‘some’ Amazon workers need to get a life.
How very facist of them.
Time to find a new hosting service ...
And of course they mean “justice” in the Orwellian sense (like “Freedom is slavery”). This is what happens when our school system becomes an indoctrination system, where kids are taught to reject people who have opinions significantly different from their own and to always see themselves as right and worthy of controlling everyone else. Intolerance and oppression is only to be expected from the authoritarian left at this point. They’ve been trained that way.
Perhaps Amazon needs to remember that the US government still owns the Internet and any violations of civil rights on it can remove Amazon’s presence completely.
I agree with them! Having your conservative business vulnerable to liberal infrastructure is asking for trouble.
US government still owns the Internet

Not as much as it used to 0bama gave away a good chunk. And the New US government run by the CCP might just “ask” Amazon to sever ties.
And some don’t.
I prefer Gab . It has been through the ringer already and survived. It has already insulated itself from attack by Big Tech . Its owner is a proud Christian who is not about to cave in to the bullies.
Yes, do it...that will get companies rethinking their dependence in “the cloud”
If you knew how the Internet actually worked, you wouldn’t have said that.
They should be striking for bathroom breaks, not demands that Parler be de-platformed.
They will no doubt get their wish.
lol whatever. I work at an Amazon FC and they don’t talk for me. Idiots.
how typical of the snowflakes. Pathetic
“...I prefer Gab . It has been through the ringer already and survived. It has already insulated itself from attack by Big Tech . Its owner is a proud Christian who is not about to cave in to the bullies.....”
Me too.
I use both. GAB owns its own servers, and like you said, it’s already been run through the “ringer” already and it still standing. Plus, I like GAB’s user interface a whole lot better, and it’s very well laid out. Andy did a really good job setting that all up.
There are other web hosting services.
Get your APK or IOS (app) for that from the lower right side of the Parler front page.

LOL
We shall see. I remember back over the summer some employees demanded Ford no longer make/sale or support products for police departments because of BLM. In that case they told him to go pound sand and nothing more came of it.
