Last weekend, Amazon pulled the plug, saying it found messages on Parler "that clearly encourage and incite violence" and that Parler's plan to use volunteers to remove this content wouldn't be sufficient. Sponsor Message Parler filed a lawsuit against Amazon, saying Amazon "blindsided" the company by abruptly cutting off service and that Amazon "never expressed any concerns" with Parler's moderation system before last weekend. In an interview on Morning Edition, Peikoff defended Parler's approach, saying the best counter to misinformation "is more information."
