Amazon may have the right to deny anyone service - but can they do it 'immediately' on whatever grounds?
Parler could very well make more money suing Amazon than anything else.
This was a huge moment for Parler, and AMZN may have grounded them.
There's a difference between 'we don't want to do business with you' ... and 'we will make you dependent on us, but the we'll drop you like a rock and put you out of business'.
- objectivetruth 6y ago> we will make you dependent on us How on Earth did Amazon "make" Parler rely on Amazon exclusively?
- ookblah 6y agoyou lost me on the last part there, you can't have it both ways. if they don't want to do business with you they don't have to point blank (barring any outstanding contracts which can be settled). as a business you choose to take risks relying on other vendors. we're all dependent on any business and they could drop us at any time, but that's the risk we take for convenience or what not. we make the calculation the risk is low. if you know there's a growing base of extremism on your site and you have a precedent like gab, why wouldn't you potentially prepare for it?
