AWS has a terms of service. They'd warned Parler for months about their lack of moderation [0]

"Amazon says. Amazon's filing included copies of emails it sent to Parler in mid-November (PDF, content warning for racial slurs) containing screenshots full of racist invective about Democrats, including former First Lady Michelle Obama, with a series of responses from other users to "kill 'em all.""

" Those posts call for, among other things: killing a specific transgender person; actively wishing for a race war and the murder of Black and Jewish people; and killing several activists and politicians such as Stacey Abrams, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), and former President Barack Obama."

Their CEO was recently fired for apparently wanting to have stricter content moderation [1]

Parler isn't entitled to be their customer after violating AWS's term of service.

AWS had a dialogue with them over multiple months.

It's not equivalent to someone losing their Google account for no reason and having no recourse.

People trying to make Parler some martyr is so silly. They could have hosted their platform co-located in a data centre in Alabama. Or hosted it in a friendlier to their content country like Russia.
