Seattle (WBAP/KLIF) – A federal judge on Thursday denied Parler’s request for a court order blocking Amazon from nixing it from its platform.
It was another setback for the social media app’s attempt to get back online.
Judge Barbara Rothstein issued a ruling on Thursday saying that Parler had not met the legal requirements for a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction.
Parler, the conservative alternative to Twitter is avored by the far-right sued AWS earlier this month after the web-hosting service claimed Parler did not do enough to remove instances of incitement from its website.

That decision does not end the litigation, but the court decision is a win for Amazon as it will not be forced to again give Parlor a platform.
Parler CEO John Matze told Fox News on Sunday night he was was confident the service would be back up by the end of the month.
