I'd encourage everyone who believes that Amazon MUST host Parler's content to read Amazon's brief. The power of the state should not be used to force Americans to host and help disseminate mass amounts of death threats and insurrectionary content. /1 https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.wawd.294664/gov.uscourts.wawd.294664.10.0_1.pdf

It's honestly stunning to me that many members of a movement that united to say that bakers/florists should be free to use their talents to advance only messages they approve now angrily assert that another set of Americans MUST provide platforms for the MAGA insurrection. No. /2

Again, read the Amazon brief. It presented evidence that it warned Parler for weeks of problems with threatening content and Parler was either unwilling or totally incapable of dealing with the problem. It was a sewer. Americans aren't required to host sewers. /3

This statement, from the intro to the brief, is powerful. As a statement of legal and moral principle, it is correct. /end
