Amazon responds to Parler lawsuit.

"This case is not about suppressing speech or stifling viewpoints. It is not about a conspiracy to restrain trade," Amazon argued in the court filing. "Instead, this case is about Parler's demonstrated unwillingness and inability to remove... content that threatens the public safety, such as by inciting and planning the rape, torture, and assassination of named public officials and private citizens."
Amazon cited more than a dozen examples of content posted to Parler that it said violated Amazon's policies.
"We are going to fight in a civil War on Jan.20th, Form MILITIAS now and acquire targets," one post said, according to the document, while another said: "White people need to ignite their racial identity and rain down suffering and death like a hurricane."
Other Parler posts included death threats against prominent Democrats such as former President Barack Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez; Republicans including Georgia's secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger; and tech executives including Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google's parent company, Alphabet.
Parler users also targeted people of color, Black Lives Matter activists, Jews, teachers, the media, and professional sports leagues including the NBA, the NFL, the NHL, and MLB.

Parler gets blackballed from every server farm in the States, I suppose I wouldn't want to be on a hosting provider hunt for T-net if the current provider has overly aggressive algorithms for monitoring their customer's usage.

Yeah, I would expect mods to be on a bit of a hair trigger right now, what with some really thinking Civil War 2 needs to start any day now.
Probably a bit like making bomb jokes in an airport, especially following 9/11. Just...don't, right now.
