The first hearing in this case was held today.
Per reporting by Katherine Long of the Seattle Times, during
that hearing Parler's attorney:
- forgot the name of Parler's CEO
- stated that he's unfamiliar with some of the terminology
because he's not on social media
- admitted that he filed a day late because he needed to
update his PACER account
This is the same attorney who filed Parler's complaint -- the one that
names Twitter as a defendant in section 5 while omitting them from the
title page of the complaint. Here, look for yourself:
PARLER LLC v. AMAZON WEB SERVICES
https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.wawd.294664/gov.uscourts.wawd.294664.1.0.pdf
Read the first sentence of section 5. It's on page 3. Oh heck,
let me save you the trouble:
"Thus, AWS is in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman
Antitrust Act in combination with Defendant Twitter."
I am not an attorney but my general understanding is that if you wish
to file a civil complaint against multiple defendants that you should
actually go through the trouble of naming them all as defendants on the
complaint (and serving them).
