Amazon won't be forced to immediately restore web service to Parler after a federal judge ruled Thursday against a plea to reinstate the fast-growing social media app, which is favored by followers of former President Donald Trump.

U.S. District Judge Barbara Rothstein in Seattle said she wasn't dismissing Parler's “substantive underlying claims” against Amazon, but said it had fallen short in demonstrating the need for an injunction forcing it back online.

Amazon kicked Parler off its web-hosting service on Jan. 11. In court filings, it said the suspension was a “last resort" to block Parler from harboring violent plans to disrupt the presidential transition.

The Seattle tech giant said Parler had shown an “unwillingness and inability” to remove a slew of dangerous posts that called for the rape, torture and assassination of politicians, tech executives and many others.

5. Different companies

The Amazon you are thinking about, the "online bookstore" is a different group than Amazon Web Services.

To get to the Amazon store, go here: https://amazon.com

To get to Amazon Web Services, go here: https://aws.amazon.com/


Amazon owns a number of companies that fall under the amazon.com banner. They include, the companies listed above, IMDB, Audible, Zappos, and Twitch.

Google, that other gigantic tech company is owned by Alphabet. Alphabet also owns, YouTube, Nest, and Waze.

They are both really quite vast in their holdings.

4. Why is it

that the same people who keep screaming about a 'free market' and 'unrestricted business' are the same ones to start screaming about restricting and dictating to that same market when it works against them? The level of hypocrisy in those idiots is astounding.
