    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.

    This CEO is a putz. He just doesn't get it. As I said, he will be spending more time in court than on his site. He can Thank Trump later when he goes on Shark Tank looking for funding.

    At least all of Parler's post content, even the deleted stuff, apparently, has been archived and will soon be available for perusal. Apparently the archive effort (hack) included users‘ govt IDs too, which could make this a doxxing nightmare for a lot of people.
    Lesson hopefully learned: nothing put online ever goes away.

    Parler sues Amazon for kicking it off the internet


    The creators of social network Parler have sued Amazon for ending a web hosting agreement after last week’s riot at the US Capitol. Parler claims Amazon Web Services severed ties to stop Parler from competing with the larger social platform Twitter, and it’s asking a court to stop Amazon from shutting down its account — arguing that an extended shutdown would be like “pulling the plug on a hospital patient on life support.”

    The Seppos all think that they are the guardians of free speech in the world. Yet

    Germany And France 'Shocked' Over Twitter Decision To Ban Trump



    Germany and France are shocked over Twitter's decision to permanently ban President Trump from the platform, with German Chancellor Angela Merkel saying through a spokesman that lawmakers should set rules governing free speech, not private technology companies.

    "The chancellor sees the complete closing down of the account of an elected president as problematic," said chief spokesman Steffen Siebert during a Berlin press conference, according to Bloomberg. Siebert added that rights like freedom of speech "can be interfered with, but by law and within the framework defined by the legislature -- not according to a corporate decision."
    Meanwhile, French leaders are similarly outraged - with Junior Minister for European Union Affairs, Clement Beaune, saying he was "shocked" that a private company made such an important decision.

    They do not understand technology. This is a private company with terms of service that people who agree to use this privately owned service. The orange moron repeatedly over the course of the last four years violated those TOS. Twitter took a blind eye to it, but things finally changed after the insurrection.

    Trump has all the free speech he can get. He can hold a press conference at any time and literally a press corp consisting of journalists from all over the world will attend, he can post on whitehouse.gov.

    No one's free speech is being infringed. It is simply bullshit.

    "proverbial words"? Please don't use words you don't understand, it just makes you look even dimmer than you are, if that's possible

    While I am quite happy that we are not confronted with Trump's bile continuously and his weakened ability to foment chaos. Their point, among others, is that large corporations feeding off one another to create 'policy' is unhealthy

    20 years from now skidmark will still be in the slums of Surrey hanging with his Paki mates and looking for a reason to keep on living. The perfect example of a loser. Never had anything and never will.

    It would be one thing if that was actually true. But it isn't. People break the terms of service all the time. And some get banned and some don't. If there was clear rules of the road and anyone who crossed them got banned, it would be one thing. But that's not what they do. They mark people that they want to kill for political reasons and then wait for them to break a rule.

    Those are basically bullshit arguments about the "private company" and all that. The airwaves , TV and radio and phone lines were always regulated by the FCC and shit.. Something along those lines will replace what we have now. People didn't get their phone lines cut off because of their political views. Even known KKK members had phones in their houses. Even ones that planned marches and did violence.

    Is the electricity monopoly allowed to cut off the power to your house because of your politics ? We will be finding these things out.

    But you think that post is a real threat that should be illegal ? It's just a colorful rant. The guy probably went home and got high.

    You are too daft to understand the difference between an internet service provider and an internet content provider.

    Prove it. You can't because it is bullshit.

    No they are not. Are you claiming that a private company should not control the way it does business? Using that brain-dead analogy McDonald's would have to remove the "No shoes, no shirt, no service" from the door of all its restaurants and basically let anyone off the street in.

    Completely absurd.

    They sure don't, and they do not get their internet connection shut off either. Twitter isn't now nor will ever be a public utility. It is a private company that offers a service. If people chose to use that service they have to abid by that companies rules. Period.

    As usual, you are spewing horseshit.

    FTFY 'daft' is too soft a term for what skidmark is.

    A simple analogy for a simpleton like skidmark might be that if Trump was a regular caller on a radio talk show swearing and cursing every time ranting and raving about Jews and blacks or whatever and generally being obnoxious and offensive the radio station might block him but he'd still have his phone line.

    The electricity is a false equivalency.
