Parler sues Amazon over removal from servers after riot


Parler also claims that AWS broke its contract, which it says requires more notice of termination, and illegally interfered in its relationship with its customers. — Bloomberg

Parler, the conservative social media platform whose traffic has surged amid a crackdown on inflammatory content by its rivals, sued Amazon.com Inc for ending web-hosting service for the site in the wake of rioting at the US Capitol last week.

The self-described “microblogging alternative and competitor to Twitter” was taken offline early Monday morning by Amazon’s cloud services division. Apple Inc and Alphabet Inc’s Google had withdrawn Parler from their app stores over the weekend.
