So much discussion about a lawsuit that is nothing but a conspiracy theory formatted as a legal case.
I encourage everyone to read the first few pages of filing.
Parler alleges 2 things:
1. Anti-trust: Amazon kicked off Parler because it colluded with Twitter because Parler is a competitor to Twitter hence they violated The Sherman Act.
The reason this will fail is because Parler presented 0 evidence to support their allegations.
Evidence is the thing that differentiates a wrongdoing that can be litigated from a crackpot conspiracy theory.
This is a crackpot conspiracy theory and I can't wait to read the rebuttal from Amazon's lawyers. It's going to be a hoot.
2. Breach of contract: "it says we get 30 days notice and we didn't get 30 days".
Apparently Parler conveniently left out other parts of the contract.
One, the part that says you don't always get the 30 days.
Two, the part that says contract disputes are resolved via arbitration, not litigation.
So it's not going to fly either and is pointless to begin with.
The only remedy Parler could ask for is money and I'm sure Amazon will happily refund them 3 months of fees if for some unimaginable reason the court finds they did indeed breach the contract.

And honestly, this type of terms in a contract shouldn't be legal. Has far as i know, the second part is not even legal in most country outside of the US. I don't really care for Parler but having big company abusing their position to have terms heavily in disadvantage of their client shouldn't be something we support. Because I guess most cloud-provider have the same type of clause. Arbitration over litigation should be just plainly illegal.
- thewindowmovie5 6y agoI agree this lawsuit sounds meritless. I suspect this was the plan all along for Parler. They refused moderating there content knowing full well that they will be banned. Then they go about crying victim and filling meritless lawsuit to put up a show. Very similar to the meritless lawsuits that were filled for elections fraud.
