Amazon won’t be forced to restore web service to Parler after a federal judge ruled Thursday against a plea to reinstate the fast-growing social media app favoured by followers of former President Donald Trump.
U.S. District Judge Barbara Rothstein in Seattle said she wasn’t dismissing Parler’s “substantive underlying claims” against Amazon, but said it fell short in demonstrating the need for an injunction forcing it back online.
Amazon kicked Parler off its web-hosting service on Jan. 11. In court filings, it said the suspension was a “last resort” to block Parler from harbouring violent plans to disrupt the presidential transition.
The Seattle tech giant said Parler had shown an “unwillingness and inability” to remove a slew of dangerous posts that called for the rape, torture and assassination of politicians, tech executives and many others.

This is why I will not allow my company to operate in the cloud. Who owns your data? Don’t give me the BS that it is encrypted, it still resides on someones server and they can turn you off at anytime.
There is NO CLOUD: It’s just someone else’s computer(s)!
Ward you must have missed it resides on someone elses servers, that is a computer, a really big computer. lol
hell, if you can get away with it, TAKE EVERYTHING OFFLINE.. STOP putting it all on servers anyway.
So… Based on these SAME reasons, can a Lunch Counter BAN Blacks, because THEY espouse policies or beliefs that are contrary to those of the Lunch Counter owner?
Or the banned patrons espouse “hateful” rhetoric or actions (like promoting Abortion [the MURDER of unborn children])?
I’m just asking…
Nope.. ANYTHING we conservatives do, is wrong/bad/evil/anti-fun. ANYTHING libtard commucrats do, is ok/good/right…
The joke judiciary, at it again. Please define worthless for me, as that describes the judiciary.
That’s another BENEFIT from removing myself from the voter rolls.. I NO LONGER need to worry about having to do Jury duty, as to me our entire bloody useless Judicial system, is rotten… FROM THE TOP DOWN.
Amazon also delayed aiding with Covid Vaccines to hurt the Trump admin. Only now have they offered to aid in distribution. Truly disgraceful.
Amazon says they offered assistance to the Trump administration, just not in writing. They also did not make mention of it in the MSM. I guess they were afraid the Trump haters would all close their amazon accounts. Well wait and see how many Trump supporters close their amazon accounts now.
I wonder, how many of those so-called trump supporters, WILL NOT do that, cause they’re TOO bloody addicted, to buying useless **** online.
