I’d like to have been a fly in the wall at those meetings. What prompted them? The election itself? What led to saying, “hey the election result challenges could end badly, let’s start keeping an eye on Parler”
I’d like to know how those dots were connected.

Obviously outfits as big as AWS won’t have the bandwidth to monitor everything hosted on their servers for TOS compliance, so I guess there’s some process that puts sites that create exposure risk on a watchlist.

I think the events opened a policy window for Twitter & Facebook to ban Trump, then other firms followed suit with similar actions when it became clear that they'd have safety in numbers & there didn't appear to be large repercussions.
