'Employees' of Amazon, which hosts Parler, asking company to cut ties with the Twitter alternative

CNN hall monitor Brian Stelter was one of the first in mainstream media to sound the alarm on Parler, the Twitter alternative created in response to Twitter’s hostility to conservative posters. NBC News reporter Ben Collins looked into Parler and found that “they’re fine with hate speech and racism.” And as Twitchy reported Friday, Google kicked Parler off Google Play, and Apple had given Parler 24 hours to implement a full moderation plan of its platform or face expulsion from its app store.

Now we’re hearing that employees of Amazon want the company to cut ties with Parler, which is hosted on Amazon’s AWS hosting platform.

JUST IN – Amazon employees call for the company to cut ties with #Parler. The website and app are hosted on Amazon's cloud hosting platform AWS.

It's funny watching people advocate for the system that's going after them next.

The 'employees'? ?

Add this to the list of things that never happened.

They keep making it sound like it’s the employees when it isn’t

Since when does Amazon care about their employees ???

This was a given once people found out they were on AWS… but hey, now is the time for unity, correct?

We all saw this coming.

But where will it end?

Hopefully in decentralised, uncensorable, anonymous architectures. Taking peer-to-peer to its full potential.

Parler isn’t a “Right wing” app, it just protects freedom of speech. It’s viewpoint neutral.

That’s what our digital overlords are so worried about: free expression. Democrats can’t allow a place to share ideas without their thumb on the scale.

Worth asking why

Funny how freedom of speech is now seen as a right wing thing.

Anyone, any platform, any app that isn't absolutely devoted to pushing liberal views is "extremist right-wing"

The first amendment is now a “Right Wing” talking point.

Because when ideas are truly discussed and hard questions asked, many of their leftist ideas fall apart. Regardless of who comes up with an idea or answer to a problem, it must experience scrutiny or we'll never know the truth. At the end of the day, there are absolutes.

I am happy to have my freedom of speech, and for a company to have its freedom to do business according its own terms of service, regardless of politics.

Will future Republican political campaigns even be allowed to have an online presence?

A major political party and massive multinational corporations are removing their political opposition

Its a cultural coup

"Once a government is committed to silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens creating a country where everyone lives in fear.” – Harry S. Truman
