Parler has been placed at the center of controversies after it was forced to shut down when it was removed by Amazon Web Services from its platform. The action from Jeff Bezos’ company left the American alt-tech microblogging and social networking service firm with no host thus, it was not able to operate.
Unlawful and unjust app removal?
Before Amazon took out Parler from its site, Apple and Google have also dropped its app from their respective stores. The main reason why Parler was ditched by these major tech firms is that it was accused of allowing its users to post messages that supposedly incite violence. It was also mentioned that most users were Republicans.
In response to the removal, the executives at Parler, including its CEO John Matze stated that they are being treated unfairly. He further suggested that there is no ground to remove them, so the move to eject them was unjust.
“We are clearly being singled out,” Amy Peikoff, Parler’s chief policy officer, also said via Fox Business. “I believe we were treated unfairly.”
The Parler app was removed from the said platforms late last week. And since Monday, after Amazon Web Services dropped them like hot potato, the company has not found a new site yet where they can be hosted and continue its operation.
Parler takes legal action against Amazon
By Tuesday, the Daily Mail reported that Parler finally found a new home. It has now moved to a web hosting firm called Epik.
While still settling with its new hosting site, Parler also made its move against Amazon by taking legal action for the unceremonious ejection last week. It was reported that Jeff Bezos company is being sued for breach of contract and antitrust violations when it shut down Parler.
The 18-page lawsuit was already filed at the District Court in Seattle, and the named defendant is Amazon Web Services (AWS). “AWS' decision to effectively terminate Parler's account is apparently motivated by political animus,” part of the complaint reads. “It is also apparently designed to reduce competition in the microblogging services market to the benefit of Twitter.”
