A 24 hour notice off AWS is more than just "not make it easy". It is a loud and clear political message.

It's not political. It's an immediate refusal of service to a client that is clearly causing commercial harm to AWS. They have no obligation to host Parler!

Are you seriously expecting anyone to believe booting Parler off from Google, Apple and Amazon all in the same day was not a political move?

Yes. It's a PR/business reputation move.

I think it’s a fairly transparent political move too - this is happening with the background of an ongoing investigation of these companies by congress.

Trump is a political leader, not a musical celebrity. Any moves that hinder his or his supporters speech (he had an account on Parler) is by default a political one, even if at the same time it is a "PR/business reputation move". In this case its big tech wanting to appease the new king on the hill.
