Amazon doesn't host Facebook or Twitter, but they did host Parler.

Amazon told Parler they had to remove some very specific content or they would be sever their service, and Parler refused.

Amazon's letter terminating Parler calls out refusal to moderate content, not their inability to moderate content.

Twitter and Facebook both use AWS for hosting parts of their website. Both of them are top 10 clients of AWS, with Facebook being on the AWS's biggest clients.

AWS doesn't host the feed.

> But AWS does not host Twitter’s feed, so of course it could not have suspended access to Twitter’s content

Quote from a legal document AWS filed.
