Parler Files Lawsuit Against Amazon

Parler filed a lawsuit Monday against Amazon, alleging that the company violated antitrust laws and breached its contract when they prohibited Parler from accessing their servers.

The lawsuit, which was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington, alleges that Amazon violated antitrust laws because their decision to terminate Parler’s account was politically motivated and designed to reduce competition between social media companies. Parler, which has positioned itself as the free speech alternative to Twitter, claims that Amazon worked together with Twitter in order to reduce competition.
