Speaking at the top of downloads when Donald Trump’s Twitter account is suspended

Following the invasion of the Capitol by supporters of the outgoing president, the internet giants have been singled out. Some accused them of having “blood on their hands”. The consequence of these accusations was the suspension of Donald Trump’s official account. First on Twitter, then on other major applications such as Instagram, Facebook or even Twitch. The president’s supporters, in protest, gathered on the social network Parler, which was at the top of downloads on the App Store in the United States.

Very quickly, Amazon accused this site of allowing hate messages to proliferate on its networks. As a result of this lax moderation, Amazon announced that Parler’s servers would be closed on Monday, January 11. The firm of Jeff Bezos having kept its promise, the reaction of the social network was immediate with a legal summons. In a complaint, the site team states: “It’s like disconnecting a patient on life support. It will kill the business – just as it was skyrocketing ”. It remains to be seen whether justice will be able to force Amazon to reverse its decision.
