Amazon has stated that it warned Parler for months without redress, but to offer another perspective, the CEO of Parler stated in an interview that they were notified the day before they got the plug pulled, sought to work with AWS on solving the issue, then were "deplatformed" the following day.

He said she said, but obviously both sides are incentivized to make themselves look clean

Though I doubt that Parler has many employees, it seems unlikely the emails from your hosting company would be read by the CEO. It's entirely possible both people are telling the truth.

Your CTO of your social media startup would definitely surface threats of deplatforming from your cloud provider to the CEO.

In a well run organization with great employees that is what you would expect to happen.
