A personal anecdote why some blog poster is scared and worried about ToS of cloud providers? Sure, go ahead and host your website in your mom's basement. That's exactly my point, a company who has reason to believe they will violate the ToS of business partners should not make business with those business partners. It's kind of trivial.
That's why Parler was such an epic fail, not because they didn't host everything themselves. They were acting as if they'd care about free speech - unless it wasn't totally compatible with their personal views, in case of which they'd ban instantly - and did not prepare in the slightest for contingencies and were caught in the cold. All of that in the light of plenty of precedents, ranging from Napster over Piratebay to ISIS propaganda websites. It baffles my mind how a company could be so unprepared.
