Parler CEO Says Site Was Shut Down to 'Deny Trump a Platform' After He Considered Joining

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Parler CEO John Matze said in a court filing on Wednesday that the social media site was shut down in part to deny President Donald Trump a platform after he considered joining under the pseudonym of "Person X."

Matze said Trump expressed interest in creating an account under that name since October 2020, and alleged that Amazon Web Services (AWS) terminated its contract with Parler this week in order to prevent "a surge" of his supporters from joining the site.

"I believe AWS's decision to terminate service to Parler was based, not on expressed concerns about Parler's compliance with the AWS Agreement, but in part on a desire to deny President Trump a platform on any large social-media service," Matze said in the filing.

The Parle CEO also accused an AWS representative who was assigned to the platform as being a "Joe Biden supporter" and aware of Trump's reported plan to join the social media platform.

1. First, So What?

Second, the content warning did take place. They ignored it. It's now AWS right to pull services. The final straw doesn't matter. The reason is still the same.
And maybe Matze needs to understand that people don't really care about him. Even 99% of his users wouldn't know him.

Look, he's still president for 5 more days. He's got his own fricking press room with reporters constantly available. That's a platform.
