The whole claim by Parlor (read the linked complaint) is that AWS is doing this in coordination with Twitter to stop the flood of conservative people (including Trump himself, allegedly) moving from Twitter to Parlor after Twitter banned Trump (this is substantiated with links from media claiming that could happen and by the fact Parlor had become the most downloaded app on the AppStore after Twitter announced the Trump ban)... they claim AWS and Twitter are basically trying to kill Twitter's competition.
Why AWS would help Twitter is unclear to me, though.
- Normille 6y agoParl-fucking-LER! At least take the time to note the name of the company, before weighing in with your opinions. [None of this confusion would arise, if you Yanks spelled 'Parlour' properly]
- brabel 6y agoNot a Yankee. And sorry for misspelling and hurting your feelings.
- Normille 6y agoYou didn't hurt my feelings. It just surprises me that someone thinks "Wow! I have a strongly held opinion about X which I really must share with the world!" but then doesn't even bother to take the minuscule amount of care required to note how X is spelled. It just suggests the poster's examination of the subject in question has been pretty perfunctory and their opinion slightly less than well thought out. [But congratulations on not being a Yank. That's something, at least]
