As opposed to the amount of the internet hosted by Amazon?
Like, I understand the argument, I’m just not sure why we get angsty about one type of market dominance and not another.
- im3w1l 7y agoHow much of the internet is hosted by Amazon?
- BlueTemplar 7y agoFrom that "I tried to boycott the GAFAM" story, IIRC it was "about half" ?
- stephenr 7y agoWhy can't we be concerned about both?
- PierceJoy 7y agoThis is whataboutism. How do you know the parent isn't opposed to Amazon as well? Regardless, the topic here is Cloudflare, not Amazon.
- AznHisoka 7y agoAmazon has no control over who can visit what website, for the most part. They just host your site. Cloudflare on the other hands acts more like a gatekeeper. They have more control over who can visit.
- oarsinsync 7y agoUnless you're managing the webserver process yourself, Amazon has the exact same level of control over who can visit your website as Cloudflare. When you're managing the webserver yourself, they can still filter by IP as they run the network. With a bit more effort (but this feels unlikely to be happening wide-scale), they can still transparently MITM your connections as the private keys are still stored on their infrastructure.
