   During the hearing, Amazon cited examples of violent content that they   
   claim appeared on the platform, including calls to assassinate   
   Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Democratic leader Chuck   
   Schumer, Amazon's Jeff Bezos, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and the media.   
      
   AMAZON HITS BACK AT PARLER LAWSUIT, CLAIMS 'UNWILLINGNESS AND INABILITY'   
   TO REMOVE VIOLENT CONTENT   
      
   Amazon's lawyer, Ambika Doran, noted that the abusive posts were just   
   the "tip of the ice berg" and that it is well within the pucblic   
   interest to deny Parler's injuction based upon the events of Jan. 6.   
      
   "The events of January 6 changed the way we think about the world. It   
   took what was merely hypothetical and made it chillingly real," Doran   
   said. "Amazon had every right, after that happened, with the surge of   
   violent content on Parler, to take that into account when it made the   
   decision it did."   
      
   In addition, Doran noted that there is nothing within Amazon's contract   
   with Parler that required the company to send a 30-day suspension notice   
   prior to making the decision.   
      
   When asked by Judge Rothstein if Amazon Web Services would restore   
   Parler if they implemented moderation policies, Doran said there is "no   
   reason" to believe Parler could develop an effective moderation plan   
   within the next 30 days.   
      
      
   "They had been unwilling to and unable to," Doran said.
