I think EU doesn't have an opinion on Parler, that's a business relationship gone wrong.
The leak of the Parler content shows that they were actively moderating the platform to push it on the far right side, using millions of fake accounts with admin privileges.
So Amazon terminated their account.
The ban of Trump from social networks is a different topic, I don't think Trump has a big fan base in EU, but it's the perfect excuse to demand what many have been advocating for years now: political control of the social network decisions, given that they can influence the public opinion (Facebook admitted today that their platform was used to spread violence in Myanmar)
I have personally advocated for putting social network under public scrutiny or close their operations in EU.
I am glad that the European Union is finally taking steps in that direction.

- leothecool 6y ago> they were actively moderating the platform to push it on the far right side Do you have a source for this? I tried googling it for ~5 minutes, but my google-fu is too weak.
