I don't know if I buy that but that is the logic.So Amazon (and Google and Apple) customers and shareholders drove this action? That’s not what Amazon and the others cited as the reason. It’s supposedly about purging violence and hate. I’m all for that. Funny thing is I didn’t see much of that in my experience on Parler. I used it to link easily to other news sources, kind of tired of Google foisting suggestions of New York Times, NBC and NPR on me. But there’s always Twitter. Safe space there. No violence or hate. And you can easily get that app through Google and Apple’s stores!
I don't have s problem with them choosing to drop Parler. That is their right. The problem is these companies were allowed to get too large and control too much.
