Two top Republican lawmakers demanded information from Google, Apple and Amazon on Wednesday over their takedowns of Parler in the wake of the Jan. 6 riot, arguing in a letter that the popular-among-conservatives social network didn’t receive “procedural fairness.”
A gathering storm: The move ratchets up pressure on the companies to disclose details about the decisions that could help Parler build a legal case to get back on their services. And it signals tech companies' handling of the issue remains a major flashpoint for Parler's conservative allies on Capitol Hill.
