Parler Sues Amazon to get platform

According to The Epoch Times, Parler, the social media company, is suing Seattle-basedย Amazonย for alleging that the Amazonโ€™s hosting service violated anti-trust laws and their contractual agreement.

The company, which was taken offline by Amazonโ€™s services early Monday morning, asked a federal judge in Washington state to reject Amazonโ€™s shutdown of its services.

Parler argued that Amazonโ€™s move was โ€œmotivated by political animusโ€ and designed to reduce competition to benefit Twitter. Twitter is a customer of Amazon Web Servicesโ€™ division.

The emergency order asked a judge to reject Amazonโ€™s shutdown of Parlerโ€™s account and said it is akin to โ€œpulling the plug on a hospital patient on life support.โ€

Amazon โ€œwill kill Parlerโ€™s businessโ€”at the very time it is set to skyrocket,โ€ Parlerโ€™s complaint said.

โ€œWhen Twitter announced two evenings ago that it was permanently banning President Trump from its platform, conservative users began to flee Twitter en masse for Parler. The exodus was so large that the next day, yesterday, Parler became the number one free app downloaded from Appleโ€™s App Store,โ€ the lawsuit reads.

In recent months, Parler saw an upsurge in popularityโ€”particularly among big-name conservativesโ€”due to the companyโ€™s moderation policies.
