San Francisco, Jan 11 (Ians) After Google and Apple took down Parler, a social media app for conservatives and far-right extremists, from their respective app store for encouraging violence in the US, Amazon has now decided to terminate Parler's web hosting services.
Amazon told Parler of its decision last week in a letter to chief policy officer Amy Peikoff.
According to The Verge, Amazon Web Service (Aws) "cannot provide services to a customer that is unable to effectively identify and remove content that encourages or incites violence against others," the letter to Peikoff stated, adding that Parler "poses a very real risk to public safety".
As per reports, posts on Parler that encouraged violence leading up to the attack on the Capitol that left five people dead were circulated on other platforms in the wake of the riot.
"Parler has not taken adequate measures to address the proliferation of these threats to people's safety.
