Surely there are a few Eastern European servers that could host them.

"Here are our terms of service."
"Okay."
"Great. Hey wait, you're not following our terms of service."
"Fuck your terms of service"
"Okay then we're done here. Bye."
"This is not free speech. I'm suing."
"What"

There is absolutely zero chance that whatever contract/terms of service (no legal distinction between the two) Amazon had with them doesn't permit Amazon to do what they did. No attorney in that position would ever draft something not absolutely favorable to a client with that much leverage.

Edit: I think the first sentence may be confusing to read. Short version is that there's a 99.9999~% chance that Parler loses horribly.

isn't AWS just a server? it won't fall under antitrust as long as there is technically another place they can go. Also antitrust law in the US is really not strong enough to enforce anything close to this, even if it wasn't completely unjustified.

This is 100% just to get a bigger rise out of its base. calling it a SLAPP suit would be almost an offence to SLAPP suits.

Also, nobody is stopping them from hosting their terrorist content on their own servers.

Considering their lawyers dropped them as a client I wonder who their representation is.

We The People !!

NGL, they might have a case here. Amazon allowed it before, Parler had no material changes, and then suddenly dropped. There needs to be a reason for the drop, a reason other than public attention to the platform.

there's probably a "reasonable discretion" clause or something in the contract that allows Amazon to cut ties in a situation like this.

I feel like if they had a real argument, they'd still have lawyers.

Parler was in clear violation of Amazon AWS' terms of service

If they had any kind of case then their lawyer would be billing them for hours as we speak rather than dropping them as clients.

yeah they don't have a case at all, and Amazon would just bleed them out in court anyway, they don't even have to fight it
