Right-wing social network Parler files new lawsuit against Amazon

LOS ANGELES: Parler is still alive and kicking – and the right-wing social media company, which styles itself as an “unbiased” home for conservatives, is still trying to wring money out of Amazon.

In a new lawsuit filed in Washington State court, Parler accused of Amazon of breach of contract, defamation and anticompetitive behaviour. That came as Parler also officially dropped its previous federal lawsuit against Amazon, after a judge rejected its arguments that Amazon Web Services should reinstate its hosting contract.
