Parler Finds Refuge with the Far-Right's Favorite Webhost
- Proven 6y agoHN users ovewhelmingly prefer that money that could have been spent with AWS now goes to this hosting company so this is good news, I suppose? Secondly, if that content can be legally hosted there, AWS should find it harder to defend its sudden termination of Parler's account. I think they should be able terminate any customer account as they see fit, but when they do it without reasonable notice they should pay for damage caused.
- ffggvv 6y agoi and many others have taken this as a wakeup call that its not safe to build our companies on someone else's platform. hopefully itll have a big enough effect to hurt AWS in the long term but i guess well see.

- COGlory 6y agoEventually people will go after payment processing and this will get shut down. The left seems to think they can control this monster they've created forever. I hope to God they're right. I miss the left that was against big business, monopolies, and gatekeeping.
- Miner49er 6y agoThe left is still against big business and monopolies, but the left in America is basically dead.
- Miner49er 6y agoJust adding, for an example of someone on the left talking about this, look at Greenwald's post on the frontpage of HN: https://greenwald.substack.com/p/how-silicon-valley-in-a-show-of-monopolistic https://greenwald.substack.com/p/how-silicon-valley-in-a-sho...
- COGlory 6y agoAt this point Greenwald has been pretty thoroughly disavowed from by the left, is my understanding.
- bobobob420 6y agoFacebook (has much more to do with the attack) YouTube and Twitter has tons of similar content to Parler. Tons! And nothing is done to them
- ffggvv 6y agowho cares? isnt this what they always say? "don't like it? build your own x". Then you cant get mad when they do it.
