- sekai 6y agoYou missed one key difference, moderation, Parler straight up refused to remove these kinds of posts.
- roenxi 6y agoParler just got ejected from the internet. Is it totally unthinkable that they would have adjusted their behaviour and moderated whatever Amazon had told them to if given, say, 2 weeks notice? They probably would have, then transitioned off AWS in an orderly fashion. I mean, AWS basically took their business under false pretences. AWS wasn't trying to provide them a service, it was trying to kill their company.
- maxerickson 6y agoParler knew the terms when they signed the contract and didn't bother to adhere to them. They had months of notice. AWS did wait until Parler became completely toxic to enforce the terms, but they had lots of cause available.
- mschuster91 6y agoReddit has banned a lot of toxic communities over the years to avoid negative repercussions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controversial_Reddit_communities https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controversial_Reddit_communiti... Same for Facebook and Twitter. Parler, however, did nothing even as people went and publicly called out criminal acts happening on the platform.
