Judge Strikes Down Parler’s Case
However, Judge Rothstein found that “Parler has submitted no evidence that AWS and Twitter acted together intentionally.” She also noted that “the claim is both dwindlingly slight, and disputed by AWS.”
This sequence of events resulted in Parler’s removal from AWS. Google and Apple also kicked Parler off mobile app stores, making it completely inaccessible to all users.
Parler Remains Unusable… For Now
Parler may have been denied a preliminary injunction, but that doesn’t mean that it’s giving up. The platform has already made its return to the internet via the Russian web host, Epik.
If you navigate to the Parler, you’ll come across a single web page that displays a message from several Parler supporters, as well as the Parler CEO, John Matze.
The messages imply that Parler isn’t giving up without a fight, and that it will be up and running soon. The site also contains a response to Rothstein’s ruling, stating that “this litigation is still in its early stages and that the resolution of this case will have broad implications for our pluralistic society.”
