Social media company Parler sued Amazon on Monday, alleging that its suspension from Amazon's hosting service violated antitrust law and breached the companies' contractual arrangement. Will be interesting. Have to copy/paste the link I guess. Don't know why.

Will be interesting to see how this turns out.
Not really. It's pretty clear Parler violated AWS's TOS, but I suppose there's nothing preventing Parler from wasting it's investors money on worthless lawsuits.

I'd like to hear their anti-trust argument when there are at least two other tech giants that offer the same service and over a hundred smaller hosts they could go with.

This is like being kicked out of Ritz Carlton and then suing them because you can't find another hotels that'd accept you.

Breaking a contract over feelings... This should playout really well, when PARLER is also 230 protected.
Discovery should be awesome! Especially in the conspiracy RICO, with other High-tech in collaboration.

Well, it does appear that at this point, they are unable to find any server willing to host them.

This looks to me like the same thing as a syndicated columnist or syndicated radio show, where the newspaper or radio station decides not to air their content anymore.

Which we all know newspapers and radio stations have every right to do, and they do it all the time. Based on whether they like the content of the talent.

They could possibly have a contract violation case, but I don't have access to the contracts so wouldn't know if there are clauses that would have allowed for termination of the contract.

Anti trust? I don't think this will go anywhere. I'm not aware of any anti trust laws that would require AWS to provide web hosting services to anyone and everyone indefinitely.
