Did Mark Zuckerberg coordinate with Parler’s lawyers, payment provider, and bank? They all dropped Parler as a customer.
None of those would immediately take Parler offline. Parler quickly found new lawyers, obviously, as they were able to release a very well-written complaint yesterday that described how AWS broke the law in several different ways when it gave Parler the death penalty at the height of its popularity.

Absence of evidence isn't evidence though. It could be that the CEO was also trained not to respond to questions that could be twisted around in an anti-trust allegation.
It was evidence from a Facebook whistle-blower with concrete pictures and concrete name of the project, not some random questions.
Of course the CEO's answer was all non-answers. Nobody was surprised of that.
Then Mark was asked personal questions and he was shocked...the same questions that he knows about everybody in the world.
Where was he asked this, what was the venue?
Everybody can see that in the last few years banning got centralized, there’s no real competition between the big companies anymore on free speech. Like others have written it, it’s a cartel at this poimt.
