Businesses can't sever ties with Trump fast enough
By Allison Morrow, CNN Business
NEW YORK
Officials in New York City announced plans to end the Trump Organization's contracts to operate the Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point, the Central Park Carousel and the Wollman and Lasker ice skating rinks.
"The attacks on our Capitol killed a police officer, left four rioters dead, exposed lawmakers to Covid-19 and threatened the constitutional transfer of power," the city said. "They were a national abomination. We're reviewing whether legal grounds exist in light of these new circumstances to terminate concessions with the Trump Organization."
AIRBNB
In a major escalation of its security efforts, Airbnb is canceling all short-term reservations in the Washington, DC, area next week for Joe Biden's inauguration.
The company said the shift was informed by feedback from its hosts as well as government officials. Airbnb did not say if it would implement any restrictions in state capitals, where the FBI has warned armed protests are being planned.
YOUTUBE
Google-owned YouTube suspended Trump's channel for at least one week, and potentially longer. YouTube had been a holdout — it was the last major social platform to take action against the president in the wake of the Capitol siege. Twitter has banned Trump permanently, and Facebook and Instagram have suspended him indefinitely.
KEN LANGONE
The billionaire GOP donor and Home Depot co-founder said he feels betrayed by the Republicans who attempted to overturn the election. Langone, who voted for Trump in 2016 and gave him credit for improving the economy, said the president "exhausted everything." "Biden is the president," Langone said on CNBC.
"This case is about Parler's demonstrated unwillingness and inability to remove ... content that threatens the public safety such as by inciting and planning the rape, torture, and assassination of named public officials and private citizens."
-- Amazon fired back in its legal battle with Parler, the social media platform favored by the far-right that was booted from Amazon's web-hosting service over the weekend. Amazon is arguing that Parler breached the terms of its contract and that Parler's removal from AWS's hosting platform was a "last resort
