The evidence Parler “has submitted in support of the claim is both dwindlingly slight, and disputed by AWS,” the judge said in a decision denying Parler a preliminary injunction.
Amazon Web Services was within its rights to shut down social media platform Parler, a federal judge ruled Thursday, rejecting a move by the site to force Amazon to reinstate it.
U.S. District Judge Barbara Rothstein in Seattle denied a request by Parler for a preliminary injunction that sought to require AWS to continue hosting the site. Rothstein said Parler offered little more than conjecture that AWS had conspired with Twitter to harm its business and said the web hosting service “argued convincingly” that it sought to prevent Parler from being used to promote violence.

Least surprising news of the day. Parler's case was remarkably flimsy, and rhetoric that sounds great when trying to score points abut Big Tech on Twitter often collapses in court. https://t.co/JqjJy5QQ9I
