Parler is gone

That is of course true. However Parler claims (and I haven’t seen any denial from Amazon) that the TOS (which are legally binding) required Amazon to give Parler 30 days notice to fix any breach of terms before Amazon can terminate.

Parler claims they fixed all breaches notified to them, Amazon says they didn’t.

Looking at the filings, the difference in view seems to be that Parler says “Anytime Amazon told us about posts they objected to, we removed them.” While Amazon seems to take the view that Parler should have set up a system to ensure that such posts get removed without Amazon pointing them out.

To which Parler says “well, the most frequent post on Twitter at the moment is ‘Hang Mike Pence’ and Amazon isn’t shutting down Twitter. That’s an arbitrary abuse of Amazon’s dominant position.”

I can just about see their point in terms of a legal argument.

I am an old and don’t know what that means…
