Subject: NOTICE OF BOYCOTT OF YOUR SERVICES

Dear Sir or Madame,

As a long-standing customer with Amazon, I am appalled at the action you have taken against the social media platform Parler. This is an egregious attempt at silencing the voice of half of America. Your actions are likened to those of Joseph Goebbel in Nazi Germany as outlined by the excerpt from The Holocaust Encyclopedia:

"Once they succeeded in ending democracy and turning Germany into a one-party dictatorship, the Nazis orchestrated a massive propaganda campaign to win the loyalty and cooperation of Germans. The Nazi Propaganda Ministry, directed by Dr. Joseph Goebbels, took control of all forms of communication in Germany: newspapers, magazines, books, public meetings, and rallies, art, music, movies, and radio. Viewpoints in any way threatening to Nazi beliefs or to the regime were censored or eliminated from all media."- https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/nazi-propaganda-and-censorship

When a company takes a political stance, they are speaking against the very people that support them. This is what you are doing, taking a political stance. It is obvious this is a coordinated attack on Parlor and the opposing political opinion (and in essence, the people who hold that opinion) from which you hold. You are a private company and can do as you please but, thankfully, I do not have to patronize your company. Therefore, I am cancelling my Amazon Prime membership and moving my web hosting services to a company that does not utilize AWS in anyway. I will strongly encourage others to do the same and actively seek out and patronize only companies who do not use your services in anyway.

Not only do your actions speak to your partisan biases, but it also works to further the divisiveness that currently plagues our great Country. You could have taken the high road, stated your opinions, yet not acted discriminatorily toward a paying customer based on political opinons- in essence defending the basic right of every American citizen of free speech. It is obvious from your actions that you do not support this basic right and in fact, seek to destroy it. Your actions are dangerous and, ironically, inciteful. The very thing in which you think you are trying to prevent; your actions incite.

To date, the number of Parler Users arrested in connection with the events at the captial on 1/6/2021 is a whooping 0, ZERO, None; therefore, it is blatantly obvious that your actions are merely partisan.

I leave you with another quote to ponder:

"To view the opposition as dangerous is to misunderstand the basic concepts of democracy. To oppress the opposition is to assault the very foundation of democracy." - Aung San Suu Kyi, Letters from Burma

Sincerely,

**(Your Name)**
