The main statutes are the Sherman Act of 1890, the Clayton Act of 1914 and the Federal Trade Commission Act of 1914. These Acts serve three major functions. First, Section 1 of the Sherman Act prohibits price-fixing and the operation of cartels, and prohibits other collusive practices that unreasonably restrain trade. Second, Section 7 of the Clayton Act restricts the mergers and acquisitions of organizations that would likely substantially lessen competition. Third, Section 2 of the Sherman Act prohibits the abuse of monopoly power.

Hence why there would be a legal battle in court. They all could claim TOS was violated but from the sound of it, they never did any investigation to determine if TOS was violated.
Stories was that a mob in Amazon demanded that Parler servers be shut down and hence, it was shutdown.
Google declaring violation of the TOS is laughable as they cherry pick who they want to ban and who they won't.
Apple... apple is trash. They said no to federal authorities in cooperating in cases that involves actual terrorist while they freely restrict the American people that did nothing wrong.
It's a legal battle that I think Parler could potentially win... but sadly I guess one small business against three tech gaint is David vs Goliath times 3
