While most hosting providers won't touch them for political and/or moral reasons, it does seem like if they had the capital for it, owning their hardware and colocating it would be much cheaper long-term (assuming there is a long-term for their platform). Also, it seems like an obscene amount of RAM is required for such a platform, and I'd assume for most hot content that RAM would be relevant, but given their scale I think they could get by with a lot less.
