Parler v. Amazon Dies. Is Reborn!

The Parler suit (for being kicked off the platform) gets dismissed, only to be refiled in state court. Will it survive?

⚖️ Do you think Amazon was wrong to kick Parler off?

[Malicebane]

As a person who works in Website Hosting, I can confirm that 'The Host can terminate your service at any time if they feel you've violated our ToS' is VERY MUCH a standard clause.

[ShabazzTBL]

“They were just using our breach of contract as an excuse to kick us off!”
Amazon: That’s called a reason not an excuse.

[boxhead]

Amazon: International law says technology platforms have to ban terrorism and criminal acts as quickly as possible.
Parler: We don't ban users
Amazon: If you don't, we will
Parler: You can't ban our users
Amazon: Your right, we can't ban your users.
Parler: See... what are you doing?
Amazon: We can ban OUR users.
PARLER ACCOUNT HAS BEEN BANNED.

YOU USED MY FAVORITE WORD: MONOPSONY. And didn't even define it.
It is market dominance as a buyer, by the way. As opposed to monopoly, which is market dominance as seller.

Related to free speech and the 1st Amendment, any chance you'll talk about the bill working it's way through Kentucky legislation that would make it illegal to insult/taunt cops? Because that seems like a Textbook case of a 1st Amendment violation.

"It may get expensive" is the last thing you wanna hear going up against the daddy of all fat wallets, Amazon.

[lairdcummings]

Pretty sure that Amazon can boot anyone who violates the Terms and Conditions.

Parler built a virtual trainwreck, and died of a self-inflicted wound.

[sobertillnoon]

Parler: that doesn't violate our ToS
AWS: Well, it does ours.

[Artista_Frustrado]

"you honor! we would like to accuse Amazon of actually making us face the consequences of our own actions! & that makes us sad" -Parlor, probably

[Kentaiga]

You know people really hate your company when they'd rather side with Amazon than you.

"Of course I saved the Breach of Contract allegation for the middle of the video *because as we all know, contract law is the sexiest of all laws.* "
Yup. Court reporter here. I always have to go for smoke after a couple hours of contract law testimony. Way too exciting 😛

Parler: "We believe in Free speech and markets."
Also Parler: "What do you mean a company in a free market can refuse to do business with us?!?!"

"Despite multiple parlays with Parler..." I just spat some perfectly good water. Well played, sir.

I like when a serious lawyer mentions defamation claims there's this little chuckle in their voice

[TheDreadedHope]

I love how "survived the dismissed" is a thing. Congrats you get a blue ribbon for making it your first lap. Now 10 more to go.

If “For the man who can wear sweatpants. But doesn’t want to.” isn’t their official slogan it should be...
