Amazon said, "This case is about Parler's demonstrated unwillingness and inability" to remove actively dangerous content, including posts that incite and plan "the rape, torture, and assassination of named public officials and private citizens.."Parler’s amateur coding could come back to haunt Capitol Hill rioters
Some 80 terabytes of posts, many already deleted, preserved for posterity.
As an aside, I went to have a look at my Parler account today and the site is down with a Networking Error message.
Amazon's filing included copies of emails it sent to Parler in mid-November (PDF, content warning for racial slurs) containing screenshots full of racist invective about Democrats, including former First Lady Michelle Obama, with a series of responses from other users to "kill 'em all."
...dozens of examples of posts Amazon reported to Parler, beginning in mid-December. Those posts call for, among other things: killing a specific transgender person; actively wishing for a race war and the murder of Black and Jewish people; and killing several activists and politicians such as Stacey Abrams, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), and former President Barack Obama.
