I reported the first tweet mentioned in the NYPost article.

This was about an hour ago, so I would expect it to take a few days before the tweet is removed.

At that point there is not point. A tweets lifetime is hours at most. No one scrolls back days.

Apparently Amazon's standard ToS policy dictates that if it's not removed within 36 hours, they will turn their servers off.

Amazon started bringing Parler's attention to serious contract violations back in November, which Parler failed to adequately address. Amazon says that in fact the situation at Parler got worse, not better, after their months of warnings.

You think Twitter has never broken Amazon ToS? What is to stop AWS saying "this thing we warned you about last year, well, it's still there and you've got 36 hours before we shut down your servers".

I don't know if you noticed, but the situation around the US election got worse everywhere. Not so long ago #HangPence was trending on Twitter, and within the last 24 hours or so #HangTrump. That's trending - Twitter is actually promoting that!

Twitter quickly intervened to yank the 'HangPence' tag: that's actually an example of Twitter being responsible.
