Or an effective way of killing Twitter, losing their money and a customer forever.
Amazon can afford to play a patient game of tit-for-tat.
- bawolff 4y agoI don't think so. An hour of downtime isn't going to kill twitter (One assumes that twitter has it together enough to pay ASAP once site goes down), and once you do it once to prove you're serious you probably never have to do it again and will get paid on time forever after.
