Amazon suspends hosting Parler on its servers over violent content
Amazon will suspend social media site Parler from its server hosting service on Sunday over violent content that has also prompted Google Play and Apple to remove the platform from its app stores.
"Recently, we’ve seen a steady increase in this violent content on your website, all of which violates our terms," Amazon Web Services trust and safety team said in a letter to Parler obtained by NBC News.
"It’s clear that Parler does not have an effective process to comply with the AWS terms of service."
Parler CEO John Matze, writing on his platform, called the decision by Amazon an "attempt to completely remove free speech off the internet."
"There is the possibility Parler will be unavailable on the internet for up to a week as we rebuild from scratch," he wrote.
