how many people, famous people, have been on twitter calling for the murder of our President and his supporters?? Yet the people are never suspended and twitter is not kicked off the www...

That's because the president is Hitler and his supporters are Nazi fascists.

That's why there's no censure when leftists attack President Trump.

I don't know why people continue to believe that the rules should be applied equally when they haven't been for the past four years. Once they turned us into Nazis, that's all it took.

Aren’t there other hosting services? This just emphasizes the need for us to get away from Big Tech.

AWS and Microsoft are the two major players in Cloud services e.g. hosted web services. AWS has both commercial and government services. They are supposed to be PLATFORMS with no political bias in providing the services. That seems to no longer be how they are doing business. As such, I expect moves to start regulating them because of their biased service policies.

Sunday (tomorrow) at midnight Amazon will be shutting off all of our servers in an attempt to completely remove free speech off the internet. There is the possibility Parler will be unavailable on the internet for up to a week as we rebuild from scratch. We prepared for events like this by never relying on amazons proprietary infrastructure and building bare metal products.

We will try our best to move to a new provider right now as we have many competing for our business, however Amazon, Google and Apple purposefully did this as a coordinated effort knowing our options would be limited and knowing this would inflict the most damage right as President Trump was banned from the tech companies.

This was a coordinated attack by the tech giants to kill competition in the market place. We were too successful too fast. You can expect the war on competition and free speech to continue, but don’t count us out.

I don’t have it. They put me on it by default without my knowledge when it first started. When I noticed the $10/month fee on my credit card I told them to terminate it, which they did.

Can anyone suggest some good online stores that could replace various aspects of Amazon’s services that are not leftists and oppressive? I’d be willing to use several different stores to replace Amazon, but I’d have to know which ones are OK and would serve the purpose.

Could someone please explain something to me regarding Amazon. I’ve only used it a dozen times, max, in my life. I actually hate online shopping.

If one would order something, could you jam up their system by repeatably placing and then canceling orders? Is there a process that costs a buyer nothing, yet costs Amazon?

If one could do this, what is the legal ramification of intentionally doing this to hurt Amazon?

It's a TOS violation, a contract dispute. There are no laws about terminating a contract which was previously agreed upon and the termination is within the TOS; that doesn't mean Amazon might not face financial costs from their actions, especially if it was taken without complying with the contract or for reasons which weren't within the contract.

In other words, a private party dispute which violates no laws.

And that's a problem. There's a handful of companies which can turnkey provide the server ability, throughput, diversity of data centers and otherwise handle the loads of a large scale social network. And there's nothing to prevent them from all rejecting this and many other platforms.

I'm wondering when they'll start coming after other data centers and sites hosted there. It's almost like freedom of speech will take a distributed hosted communication network to continue, otherwise every single word will be only at the sufferance of a handful of companies.

Now I know how the Jews felt in Nazi Germany, or the fleeing slaves felt using the underground railroad.

Since the totalitarian marxists eliminated the ability to elect representaive government, and imposed complete censorship
the only 2 options available are :

1. Adapt to life in a totalitarian socialist dystopian nightamre

2. Kill enough of them before they try to kill you and yours, which is inevitable anyway if history is any indicator.

maybe it will be different this time and they will not kill people who want liberty

Big Tech seems to be perfectly fine with censorship. They are doing the job for the Democrats in power that the First Amendment proscribes.

“They could learn a lesson from Andrew Torba at GAB.”

Yes, conservative media is going to have to learn to be self-sufficient. Get your own servers. (And fast.)
