Amazon reply to Parler's lawsuit. Parler's CEO admitted they had backlog of 26,000 violations.

I found the link below thanks to tweets from CNN tech reporter Brian Fung.

You can find Amazon's response to the lawsuit here

https://www.pacermonitor.com/view/LHNWTAI/Parler_LLC_v_Amazon_Web_Services_Inc__wawdce-21-00031__0010.0.pdf

and it includes a list of some of the many posts advocating violence that they'd brought to Parler's attention over a long period.

Parler's CEO admitted to the backlog of 26,000 posts that had been reported as violations during one of a series of calls just a few days ago. Parler execs also told AWS that they'd be relying almost exclusively on "volunteers" to deal with the problems.

AWS's agreement with Parler allowed them to terminate Parler immediately under the circumstances they describe at length.



Here's the first tweet in the 3-tweet thread from Brian Fung:
