I disagree. There were open calls for murder on the platform where Parler was notified by Apple, by Google, by Amazon - and nothing happened. Which is the key thing here.

Twitter and Facebook are extremely fast with the ban-hammer, in contrast.

Twitter and Facebook have recently grudgingly picked up the ban hammer and use it, often too late or ineffectively. But yes, they will eventually act which is the big difference.

Amazon has this documented extensively in their court filings.
