A U.S. federal judge on Thursday rejected Parler’s demand that Amazon.com Inc restore web hosting services for the social media platform, which Amazon had cut off following the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol.
U.S. District Judge Barbara Rothstein in Seattle said Parler was unlikely to prove Amazon breached its contract or violated antitrust law by suspending service on Jan. 10, and that it was “not a close call.”
She also forcefully rejected the suggestion that the public interest would be served by a preliminary injunction requiring Amazon Web Services to “host the kind of abusive, violent content at issue in this case, particularly in light of the recent riots at the U.S. Capitol.”
“That event,” she added, “was a tragic reminder that inflammatory rhetoric can - more swiftly and easily than many of us would have hoped - turn a lawful protest into a violent insurrection.”

All the more reason for those of us in IT who design cloud architectures to [per AWS design practice] “design for failure” and have two cloud providers in any cloud solution.
Further, contract language needs to be very clear requiring X days of notification before termination with X being 60 days or longer.
Also, contracts need to be very clear on the data ownership and how the client gets their data back from the cloud provider in these events.
Another Harvard Law graduate. The Ivy League teaches the “living Constitution” and the power of the unaccountable imperial judiciary. The federal bench and Supreme Court is full of Ivy League graduates. Perhaps there should be a moratorium on appointments of attorneys from elitist institutions to judgeships in the name of “diversity”.
I was going to ask whether it was a real judge or one appointed by a DemocRAT. Answered.
A Carter appointee, eh? A milquetoast appointing a dorkette.
Sooner or later, if we are to survive, we are just going to have to say “shove it” to a good majority of our legal clowns and losers. There really are more of us than them.
Of course the judge is from Seattle so I am sure she is quite familiar with violent insurrection.
“a tragic reminder that inflammatory rhetoric can - more swiftly and easily than many of us would have hoped - turn a lawful protest into a violent insurrection”
In other words she makes law decisions based on her assessment of current events, not the law.
And in the process makes a wholly unsupported conclusion linking the website to the event.
Results-oriented judges find where they want to go and then find the rationale to get there.
Sooo....Amazon DOESN’T have to “bake the damned cake”?
Of course the Judge ruled this way. Did anybody think differently? So, what are you going to do about it?
She’s a Seattle lib judge who is literally watching Antifa burn her city TODAY yet cites the false flag done by the same people. Surreal Commie behavior.
I’ve come to learn that these judges can come to any conclusion they want not necessarily based on any law. They come to a conclusion and then just figure a way to justify it politically. So who’s going to trust putting their systems on AWS if it’s possible they can just cut you off on a wim.
Wow....another Judicial disappointment. What the hell happened with judges actually hearing a case before coming to a conclusion?
Witless lefty joins the totalitarian bandwagon. Blames Parler for riot when it was planned on Facebook. What a tyrant and a judge showing extreme partiality and partisanship.
TO THE TUNE OF “AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL”
Oh tragic is our darkening sky,
And now we feel the pain,
The Marxists they did steal the vote
And did the White House gain!
America! America!
Old Satan had his way
The bastards won, now we are done,
Now go enjoy your day.
Oh feckless is the GOP
Who let this farce unfold
Americans shall quickly see
A foe grown far more bold
America! America!
The worst is yet to come,
We’re just another Marxist state,
But quite a juicy plum.
Our heroes did not die for this.
They’re rolling in their graves
Upon which we just took a piss
Thank God that Jesus saves.
America, America!
We’ve paved the road to Hell,
And now we know that Jokin’ Joe,
Will wind up down below.

“some people did something” (Rep Omar) ... is there evidence the action was organized publicly on parler & they failed to act?
No standing because these charges are too egregious to even try. Parler should be jailed because she says so!
