Twitter is also dependent on AWS, as of December. Are they vulnerable too? https://press.aboutamazon.com/news-releases/news-release-details/twitter-selects-aws

every company on AWS is vulnerable.

I suspect not. Twitter only hosts calls-to-violence by the correct people. I also suspect that Unionizing activity on any FANG will encounter something akin to a shadowban.

If they aren't actively moderating offensive* content: absolutely. I think he's going to have a REAL tough time convincing a court that Twitter doesn't moderate content given that his justification for starting Parler was Twitter being too aggressive in moderating... https://www.forbes.com/sites/abrambrown/2020/06/27/parlers-founder-explains-why-he-built-trumps-new-favorite-social-media-app/?sh=3855f1f75016 https://www.forbes.com/sites/abrambrown/2020/06/27/parlers-f... *Offensive probably is the wrong term - content that violates the AWS TOS like calls for violence.

  Twitter didn't actively moderate the President, who broke every single policy in their rulebook, until he lost power. An argument could easily be made that they selectively enforce from that alone, but I don't see Parler's lawyers using that argument lol

    It isn't a valid argument. AWS is under no obligation to treat all of their customers equally.

    I don't think that argument would be useful. The terms of the contract between Parler and AWS are not modified by the interactions AWS has with other customers.

If they refuse to moderate their content, as Amazon asked Parler, presumably yes. But Twitter does moderate it's content.
