I don't disagree, but I also feel like the current climate in the digital space, including in the "cloud", has significantly put the brakes on the whole notion of placing your business in the hands of some self-righteous tech company full of fanatics that wield their company's power like tyrants that could role the dice one day and all the sudden what you do and did for years is now "evil" and must be remove from their infrastructure at short or no notice.

Microsoft's Azure cloud was the host for Gab.com, and threatened to kick them off unless Gab.com deleted several anti-semitic posts. These kinds of hateful websites have always been around, but we didn't have registrars and hosts trying to censor them until 2016 or so.
