If this is indeed a blanket banning of AWS and GCP, then I assume that Amazon and Google will soon remove Telegram.
It might be immoral, but it's the fastest solution to the harm this causes to all other affected customers I can think of.
- SXX 9y agoSo do you think it's good idea for Amazon / Google reputation to cease their service to any SaaS if kremlin dont like it? Unlike many smaller players Telegram might actually afford to pay for even millions of new IPs in thousands of subnets.
- kuschku 9y agoWell, they've done it with others before, so it's kinda expected. And it also shows why relying on AWS or GCP is a horrible business decision.
- ckastner 9y ago> So do you think it's good idea for Amazon / Google reputation to cease their service to any SaaS if kremlin dont like it? No, but I don't think that's how it would be spun -- I would exect it to be framed as a ToS violation.
- SXX 9y agoI not sure how it's can be against ToS because unlike other case Telegram is actually large enough to actually pay for tens of thousands end point IPs easily even on monthly basis. And Kremlin minions certainly not going to stop ban subnets now even if will be 1:1000 ratio of Telegram's one and other services.
