This is my shocked face.

Unfortunately, I have a feeling that AWS can only be sued in a district court in WA state that will roll over for Amazon because it is a huge employer in the state and because Parler are evil Nazis in the court’s eyes.

If it was the Feds then yes this is crap....but it's a private company in a capitalist society, they can or can't do business with who they want.


If you're mad, go compete.

Or cry about it. Whichever floats your boat. It's a free country

The contracts between AWS and Parler are likely for service for a set time period.

Evicting Parler ASAP would only be legal if Parler did something to violate Terms Of Service. Their speech guidelines were apparently not a problem until it was announced Trump had joined.

Contracts don’t matter. That’s what capitalism means?

In a free capitalist society, yeah you can do business with whoever you like.

Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.


Liberty is number two for a reason.

Under normal circumstances I would trust the judicial system to do the right thing. But I don't trust the judges involved in this. They will probably get paid off by Amazon especially if they are elected judges.

So white owned private businesses can refuse to do business with Blacks and Hispanics? According to your response, the answer is yes.

And whose fault was that? We all have choices in life that have direct consequences. Free choice in a free society.

4 lines discussing texts with a line level employee? Surely this didn’t have anything to do with the pages of atrocious shite posted on Parler (that would literally get you banned here) that Amazon posted in their opposition brief.

The Judicial system was appointed and built in the same Ivy League, Chinese-funded machine as the rest of these crooks and depend on the same for their power. Expect nothing from them. Any of them.

As others have said, try owning a business that doesn't bake a cake for a gay wedding and then get back to me on that "free society" stuff.

Like they did when they created Parler. Then another ally of the Democratic Party- who wants to the the only option- shut them down, too.
