> Parler’s Complaint is replete with insinuations that AWS had equal grounds to suspend Twitter’s account and thus discriminated against Parler. For example, Parler cites the hashtag “#hangmikepence,” which briefly trended on Twitter.

I'm curious to understand what they actually mean by this. Portions of twitter are not on AWS? Certainly runs counter to this press release from amazon: https://press.aboutamazon.com/news-releases/news-release-details/twitter-selects-aws-strategic-provider-serve-timelines https://press.aboutamazon.com/news-releases/news-release-det...
I guess they're saying they don't host Twitter yet.
