Even before I saw this story, I was thinking that the moves by Google and Apple against Parler smelled of racketeering.
Well, sure enough, one congressman is calling for a racketeering investigation against the Big Tech companies.
From The Epoch Times:
A top Republican in the House of Representatives on Sunday called for a racketeering probe into large technology companies who over the weekend took action against Parler, a social media website.
“This is clearly a violation of antitrust, civil rights, the RICO statute. There should be a racketeering investigation on all the people that coordinated this attack on not only a company but on all of those like us, like me, like you, Maria,” Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), the ranking member on the House Intelligence Committee, told Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures” host Maria Bartiromo.
After Twitter banned President Donald Trump and some other users, Parler saw its traffic explode. Soon, though, Google announced it had removed Parler from its online store, a move followed by Apple. Then, Amazon announced it was suspending Parler from its web hosting services.
Parler CEO John Matze told The Epoch Times his company is prepared to take legal action, but in the meantime authorities should investigate the possibly-coordinated actions, Nunes argued.
Since Amazon is suspending Parler, I have cancelled my Amazon Prime Membership effective immediately.

Unfortunately, in America today there is a uuuuuge difference between what should be done and what will be done. Even if charges were to be brought, Big Tech would stall the case forever and then some brain-dead leftist judge would rule in their favor. Look at all the blatant evidence of election fraud on a massive scale, and Trump's team could not even get past the front gate. When you take away the impartiality of the justice system and the ability of people to choose their government by fair and transparent elections, there's only two alternatives left. One we saw in DC on Wednesday, and the other is just to bend over and take it. The Democrats have brought the Shining City on the Hill on par with Venezuela, the Philippines, Zimbabwe, and other bastions of democracy. So sad.
