I support parler but they have no standing. Even the fairest court wouldn't entertain this law suit. Parler agreed to the terms of service, which say "We can terminate your service for any reason or no reason" and I doubt they had a contract that didn't have that clause in it. Parler does have some deep financial backing though
Different services dropped them simultaneously (text service, lawyers, domain etc.). Azure, digital ocean, google (other cloud providers) didn't drop them since they didn't have a contract with parler.
Now I assume they approached those services today and they said no, that would constitute as anti trust but that would mean they need to fill lawsuit against all of them. And even then their lawyers could present cases of illegal activity on parler coupled with parler's CEO statements that they will not moderate free speech is enough for an argument of denying a service based on each company respective terms.
My money is on summary dismissal. Lots of tools to bounce unwanted cases. Standing and Laches are ways to avoid uncomfortable realities that would result from letting a case be heard. Summary dismissals are closer to laughing them out of court and I bet that is the message they want to send.
It's really starting to piss me off, so many boomers saying it's not worth the fight, as if Trump hasn't been fighting despite the odds. We can't even talk about future elections because boomers say all is lost unless Trump gets the military involved. WTF.. this is the real world, it sucks but it's still worth trying to fight back using conventional methods, the alternative is that nothing is done.

Yes, but we no longer live in a world where logic and reason matter.

It's not true at all, earlier they had very strict FCC rules they were enforcing then they loosened it to include curse words.
They've from the start explicitly said they absolutely will remove illegal speech, but NOT hate speech.
So it'd be up for the tech giants to explain how "hate" speech is illegal, the courts are cucked so I have little hope for that.
Suit mentions they had a contract w 30 day notice terms that Amazon did not honor.
Terms of service has nothing to do with Standing and other than us joking, standing won't play any role in this.

Some Federal Judge: Hold my beer.

yeah was just making a joke
The "parler has no standing" is retarded doomer logic. Even if the case is lost, you need that case to be in the public lexicon.

Bud what? This is a clear cut violation of section five of the ftc. Anticompetitive behavior is a massive anti trust violation.
It is also something that amazon has been hit by before.
