How long has Amazon been asking them to moderate violent content? The lawsuit says it was a three day timeline, start to suspension, and then 36 hours until they were taken offline. I haven't seen any comment from Amazon talking about the timeline on their decision. I get a pit in my stomach thinking that in the span of 3 days an internet business with +10 million users can get shut down instantly. Was there no middle ground where they worked collaboratively to let Parler pause, clean up, and get moderation in place? Sure the CEO was bombastic, but in the lawsuit they said Amazon ghosted them and that their contract said they get 30 days.
- tzs 6y agoThe current AWS Acceptable Use Policy has been in place since September 16th, 2016. It's not like Amazon suddenly changed the rules with little notice. If you are going to run a site full of user content, you really need to read the rules you are agreeing to regarding what content services you depend on such as web hosting allows, and put in place mechanisms to keep your users from posting that kind of content and to find and remove it when it does get through.
