Does anyone have an impression that AWS coordinated with Twitter, Apple and Facebook to block Trump and his supporters from using Parler today?
Parler app was unresponsive most of the day. Incidentally, Redfin app (also backed by AWS) was also unresponsive. AWS health dashboard seems clean, but wonder if anyone else noticed more weird things going on today.
UPDATE: while it's unclear whether AWS sabotaged Parler on Friday, they straight up kicked them off service on Saturday: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/johnpaczkowski/amazon-parler-aws

Amazon Is Booting Parler Off Of Its Web Hosting Service

However, I also wouldn’t put it past AWS to do that. Every other tech company has been colluding together to wipe all conservative voices from their platforms today.
Also +1 to person above, the fact you people call yourselves conservative disgusts me and gives a shitty name of equate conservatives = conspiracy loving nut jobs. What happened to conservatism that is about family and traditional values.

We shall allow all restaurants and gyms to open and allow people to decide whether they want to visit them. “Everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each State.” — is one of the basic human rights
As a conservative I believe in free enterprise. It's like if I own a bar, and say some nazis came in and started a fight. I think it's my right to ban them from my bar.
Sure. The US can still push through, being the stronger country after all. But they’ll just look like clowns.
