disgusting but seriously though, anyone...
how many actual "fighting men" do we really think there are that would actually participate in an armed war? 200k? 2 million? 20 million?
do we have any idea? how many daily active Parler users were there?

It is. And they are making it harder for future lawsuits, since they will easily lose this and add to the jurisprudence.
I can see it now, tomorrow, Twitter is gonna announce that they are merging with Amazon because they've realized that Amazon are their bros for booting Parler off their servers like twitter booted Trump off their own platform.
I hope no later than 10 minutes into the actual trail, Parler's CEO realizes "Oh shit, I messed up."

There were 4 million active Parler users, unfortunately. Even if only 1% of them were that violent, that's still 40,000 potential domestic terrorists willing to kill in the name of Trump.
I can't believe they beat Trump's lawsuit against Twitter to court. I mean, I presume there's one forthcoming. Probably with some hair dye spots on it.
I thought the CEO of Parler said they were prepared for this and there were many other providers that were looking to work with them. Can't claim that and then file a TRO saying your service will be dead. Which is it?

AWS cuts off Parler, CEO aims to rebuild infrastructure
"There is the possibility Parler will be unavailable on the internet for up to a week as we rebuild from scratch," says CEO John Matze.

I think they know theyre fucked. But are praying to republican jesus that they get a judge that gives them back service temporarily while the suit is in motion because they are fully dead in the water atm
The timing of Kara Swisher's interview with all of this, like... she was interviewing the CEO of Parler *right as the mob* was taking over the Capitol and he was completely flummoxed, couldn't answer any quesstions, and when trying to sound clear basically gave up the crown jewels that Parler doesn't care about violence on its platform unless it's about doxing.
And then within like 24 hours of the interview airing Google, Apple, and Amazon killed the app... and they all cited the Sway interview.
This moment definitely unseats "ZUCKERBERG SWEAT INCREASING" as Kara's most influential moment.

From The Verge article about this:
Here's the email they're talking about.
It's very interesting how this email is referred to in the complaint document:
I don't see this going well for Parler at all... But we'll see.

Twitter taps AWS cloud to deliver Twitter timelines
Twitter will use AWS infrastructure and products across compute, containers, storage, and security, marking the first time Twitter has leveraged the public cloud to deliver its real-time service.

damn
ok thanks yes that's a good estimate, sounds like, of actual people who would possibly take up arms.
not as bad as "20 million" as claimed but damn
What do they expect a lawsuit to do... if they go to court they have to defend the accusation they have been allowing violent posts against the government and in support of the coup to go unmoderated... and they know they are guilty of that. So their approach is what... allow that to be part of the court process?
The difference between Twitter violence and Parler violence is that Twitter actually removes and bans people. Jackass.
It looks like unless groups like FOX decide and other republican groups can create their own servers to host this vile content they might be fucked sir.
JFC, what a slimeball piece of shit is this "neutral" ass-hole.
These people have zero sense of accountability and self-awareness, isn't it? Nothing is their fault, their resposability, ever.
P.S. And his takes on censorship. Liar or stupid? I am not an American and understand how it works in the USA. But not mister "neutral" app ceo guy.

huh, good to know, cheers.
The amount of 1st amendment posts I'm seeing on my feed within the past 24 hours tells me people are pissed, royally pissed.
Amazon: "Hey start doing a modicum of moderation on your site man."
Parler: "Nah, we all about free speech round here!"
Amazon: "No, seriously this is like the 8th warning...didn't you read our TOS?'"
Parler: "TOS are for liberal fucktards!"
Amazon: "...you sure you wanna do this?"
Parler: "We the people!!"
Amazon: "Aight"
*Amazon has ended friendship with Parler*

Yup, no court in the world is gonna rule against amazon in a case like this. Parler is entirely at their mercy using their servers.
They're also morons, because that's not how the 1st Amendment works.
Can someone with legal expertise weigh in on the purpose of this lawsuit?
Obviously they don't have a solid case or the resources to sustain it, so what's the end game here?
Is it simply a formality to put on a show of strength for investors or is there a strategy at play?

I read through Mike's full analysis and, damn, Amazon is not fooling. They are out to make an example of Parler.
Apple: Fix your shit Parler
Parler: No!
Apple: You are no longer welcome here.
Google: You are no longer welcome here.
Amazon: You are no longer welcome here.
Microsoft: You are no longer welcome here.
That paragraph could just as well be talking about Facebook or Twitter.
It's a good thing that Amazon were angling to tell them to fuck off in the first place.
Looking forward to Nazis burning away money in litigation.
No way. The lawyer that suggests that is going to get fired. They'll simply showcase SEC230, part2. This allows any provider to remove any content they deem "obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected", as long as they act "in good faith" in this action.
Sure but they host their own platforms, right? Whereas Parler is hosted by Amazon, which is like renting instead of owning your home. If you piss off the landlord your arse is getting kicked out.
Taking legal action against Amazon when you host content that condones rape, nazism, violence and execution of people.
They are going to be destroyed and get bankrupt, love to see it!

To be fair, thats just the announcement of a multi-year deal. Could be months (if not more than a year) before they actually transition.
Facebook or Twitter are not hosted on Amazon. In the paper they filed you can see that Amazon repeatedly requested Parler to take action and moderate the content with real examples.
