Right-wing social network Parler files new lawsuit against Amazon


Parler said Amazon defamed the social app by making it a scapegoat for the Jan 6 insurrection. The company complained that Twitter and Facebook also hosted content related to attack. — Bloomberg

That came as Parler also officially dropped its previous federal lawsuit against Amazon, after a judge rejected its arguments that Amazon Web Services should reinstate its hosting contract.
