Parler loses bid to require Amazon to restore service

By Elizabeth Culliford, Jonathan Stempel


(Reuters) - A U.S. federal judge on Thursday rejected Parler’s demand that Amazon.com Inc restore web hosting services for the social media platform, which Amazon had cut off following the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol.

U.S. District Judge Barbara Rothstein in Seattle said Parler was unlikely to prove Amazon breached its contract or violated antitrust law by suspending service on Jan. 10, and that it was “not a close call.”

She also forcefully rejected the suggestion that the public interest would be served by a preliminary injunction requiring Amazon Web Services to “host the kind of abusive, violent content at issue in this case, particularly in light of the recent riots at the U.S. Capitol.”

“That event,” she added, “was a tragic reminder that inflammatory rhetoric can - more swiftly and easily than many of us would have hoped - turn a lawful protest into a violent insurrection.”

Parler and Amazon did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Must have been a particularly one-sided and crappy contract, if Amazon could breach it at will without consequence.

An old Jimmy Carter judge.

How come we can't get these cases before any of the 300 new judges recommended by the Heritage Foundation?

Either that.... or the leftist-biased judges are emboldened and feel like they have carte blanche power now that the commie left is in charge.

You mean like Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and  Barrett?
