Recovery time objective missed by four weeks, but Parler is back online

Re: Protected minorities

This is basically saying that the free speech rights of Amazon outweigh the free speech rights of Parler's 15 million users. How is that democratic?

Free speech is not absolute; the freedom is to not have your speech be impinged on by government legislation. Amazon exercising their free speech to not host Parler has not impinged on Parler's users right to free speech.

It has impinged their ability to have a platform, but no-one has a right to a platform.
