I'm guessing they realized that if they won, it would also prevent them from posting on FB.
Oddly enough, FB and Twitter seem to be the places where rioters tend to organize their antics, but MSM blames Parler and such when the evidence isn't there.
Amazon should have removed FB and Twitter from their servers long before they went after Parler and the rest. Of course, they won't since BIG TECH is a cabal of fascists.

I don't think you got any of your analysis right there, though the news report that the suit was being dropped is interesting and I thank you for sharing it.
Still... funny thing - Facebook does not use AWS for any of its own hosting (although some 3rd party FB apps certainly do).... Not only does FB have its own datacenters, it even builds its own servers (after all, it is a major contributor to the Open Compute Project). Then there's the fact that they moved all of Instagram's storage OFF of AWS when they purchased the company...
Twitter, on the other hand, has moved virtually all of its infrastructure to AWS. (Just to complete that part of my answer). So, my above statement that you got everything wrong is now, demonstrably flawed....
ALSO: It may shock you to learn that AWS is NOT the only cloud platform provider! When they de-platformed Parler, there were dozens of other platforms to which they could have moved: Microsoft's Azure, Google Cloud, IBM Cloud, and Oracle Cloud to name the BIGGEST.... then there are dozens of 2nd-tier cloud providers (my personal favorite is LiNode.com - they host all of my own servers!)
I cannot explain why Parler panicked when AWS shut them down, but if they'd had even a rudimentary and minimally competent IT department, they'd have been back up in 24-48 hours on another platform. (This is truly like Ford saying they won't sell you a truck - when there are many, many other trucks to choose from!)
Finally, Parler was not kicked off AWS for its political views - it wasn't even kicked off for the violent rhetoric posted on it... you're right - again - in your inference that those happen on FB & Twitter as well! The problem with Parler was that they weren't policing those types of (illegal) content, and removing them...
FB and Twitter do.
Finally, my guess as to why they dropped the lawsuit was that their suit had little chance of success. Your good friend Section 230 of the CDA protects them, so long as they move to remove illegal content when discovered, and respond quickly when reported.
Exactly what Perler was accused of NOT doing by AWS - which is why, to protect themselves and their other clients, AWS first warned, then threatened, and finally de-platformed Parler...
All the squealing by Parler was just their attempt to make AWS look bad - but, at least to the tech world, it actually made AWS look BETTER!

True, about FB servers but it was the idea of it all.
Other than what the Big Tech cabal and liberal talking heads say, do you have any proof that Parler was allowing illegal content?
We know that Twitter and FB allow all kinds of crap on their platforms as long as it's from a certain political viewpoint, that they would never allow from the other side.
AWS proved it's nothing but a shitty liberal business.
The fact that once again you are supporting a shitty liberal business proves I'm right about you being nothing more than a RINO.

LOL absolutely none of my response had anything to do or say about the political nature of any of those companies... it was a TECH response, not a POLITICAL one.
I'm a tech professional - I have clients in MS Azure, Amazon AWS, Google Cloud, IBM Cloud, and Linode (sorry Oracle, you're out!)
Parler's problem with AWS was that they ignored the notices, warnings, and threats from AWS that they weren't following the requirements needed to maintain all of that Section 230 "protection"...
AWS was clear in their press releases... they were moving to protect themselves from lawsuits where Section 230 would not have provided protections....

You are either clueless or a liar.
Of course, it was about being to the right of Stalin.
LOL, no one has ever lied in a press release.
Regardless of what you think about Alex Jones, we're supposed to believe that it was an extreme coincidence that he was banned from virtually all social media within 1 hour, in the middle of the night.
Biden keeps saying he's going to unite the country, but his actions prove otherwise.
Yeah, if they say it, it must be true.
