Parler signed contracts with AWS, Google, and Amazon. It depends on what is in those contracts. I imagine FAANG has better lawyers than Parler.

It looks like Amazon is likely in violation of it's contract with Parler. The contract requires that Amazon notify Parler of any problems and allow a period of time to correct, which Amazon did not do.
There's a not unreasonable chance that Amazon will lose here.

It does in part, yes.

That is by no means a given.

Yeah, and looking at some background about the company it looks like they were woefully under-prepared.
But I believe that there are plenty of good right-leaning lawyers who would see fighting this kind of thing as an important long-term survival strategy.
