- greedo 6y agoWe do have laws. Parler has taken AWS to court. We'll see how good the contract AWS had with Parler is.
- shard972 6y agoWhat happened to innocent till proven guilty?
- ffggvv 6y agothat’s not how eviction works though which was the context. just like you need to show proof before evicting someone and give them time
- mr_toad 6y agoAWS is a place of business not a home. You can be immediately kicked out of a place of business for bad behaviour.
- BlueTemplar 6y agoThe OP makes the opposite case. We are discussing under that assumption.
- tartoran 6y agoshard972: innocent until proven guilty doesn’t apply in emergencies, e.g. insurgencies, coups, terrorist attacks, ... But Im sure that if Parler is proven innocent they’ll have recourse
- mycall 6y agoParler should have deployed a multi-cloud strategy, even using OpenStack perhaps. They should have better prepared.
- kelnos 6y agoThat's the thing that's pretty dumb here. Regardless of what anyone thinks about what happened, the Parler owners should have expected something like this to happen and planned for it.
- ffggvv 6y agogiven that google also banned them from the app store, i’m guessing they would be banned from the cloud. not sure about azure though... but almost every large company blacklisted them in concert
- kelnos 6y agoSure, but they don't need a "cloud". Just a hosting provider that would sell them enough dedicated servers to run the service. Like how everyone hosted a website before 10 years ago or so.
