In this video: Texas Storm-What’s Behind the Power Outage?; Parler Social Media App Back Online

Amid a Big Tech crackdown on conservative-leaning social media content and users, legal experts say such firms are exposing themselves to potential legal challenge across several broad fronts, including antitrust action for collusion, revocation of Section 230 liability shields, and shareholder suits breach of fiduciary duty.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Jan. 13 issued civil investigative demands (CIDs) to Google, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon Web Services, and Apple, asking the companies for their policies and practices regarding content moderation and, more specifically, for information related to Parler, a social media application popular among conservatives that was recently terminated or blocked by Google, Amazon, and Apple.

Parler had become a popular alternative to Twitter, particularly among conservatives and followers of former President Trump, whose own Twitter account was permanently suspended by the platform earlier this month for content purportedly violating its rules.

Am azon on Jan. 11 removed Parler from its web-hosting service, five days after the U.S. Capitol Building was breached, arguing in court filings that the suspension was a “last resort” to keep the app from being a conduit for violent plans to disrupt the presidential transition, which occurred Jan. 20. 

“To take an entire platform down because the platform had the president on it is clearly something that affects free speech in this country and affects competition,” Paxton told “Just the News AM” television show. “We want to get to the bottom of this and understand what their policies are, what the plan is for the future, and whether people are going to have the ability to speak in this country, or whether these tech companies are going to limit speech based on your views.”

On Thursday, a federal judge denied Parler’s request to have Amazon immediately restore its web service, saying she rejects “any suggestion that the public interest favors requiring AWS to host the incendiary speech.”
