You talk about "market forces" and you don't seem to understand them at all.
"Confidentiality", "Integrity", and "Availability" are a foundational concept of security (the CIA triad).
For non-US citizens "Integrity" and "Confidentiality" have been compromised for a long time, but these things have no day-to-day impact. They are only relevant as kompromat material once you become powerful and they want you to act in US interests.
What's new are serious, escalating threats and actions against "Availability". This is the most important pillar of security, and a whole different beast. Microsoft has blocked email accounts of international court of justice due to political pressure. Buffoons in US tech leadership such as Cloudflare CEO feel so emboldened that they openly threaten to cut off Italy. After TV performances by Musk, Thiel, Tim Apple, Zucky and Bezos in favor of trump there is no doubt they would cut off another country as form of pressure - and if it is only for a week.
In this week, our markets would be offline and nonfunctional. The market has a very high incentive to untangle from this mess of shitty bootlickers and impulsive convicted criminals.
It will take some time, but the market forces are clearly following the new incentives.
What surprises me here on HN that people who are seemingly US tech workers are quite ignorant to how it feels to be on the receiving end of this totally reckless, unprompted and idiotic behavior.

- bflesch 9mo agoYour argument based on false equivalence bias might work with in a megachurch but not here. Amazon dropping Parler, a shitty US-based right wing social network nobody outside the US ever heard of, is totally on the same level as US waging economic warfare against Europe and laying claim on sovereign countries like Canada and Greenland. /s
- cudgy 9mo agoSpoken like a true autocrat. Cast the poster as a religious zealot and then claim self-support of the platform for your own view.
- bflesch 9mo agoYou're projecting a lot, are you by chance attending the same megachurch? Or is it called gigachurch now? Do they also offer drive-in to grab a coffee and soda before service? There's a docuseries about the US called "The Righteous Gemstones" - I can highly recommend it.
- cudgy 9mo agoLol … like an autocrat you double down on the ad hominems and unrelated aspersions to distract from your vapid arguments.
- bflesch 9mo agoYour HN submission was flagged for being anti-Ukraine propaganda. I fully understand why you whine about Parler but you are not a credible actor by any means. There is no reason to take any of your bad faith arguments serious.
- bhawks 9mo agoEvery service provider dropped them. Cool weapon, let's use it more. Thanks for proving the point.
- bflesch 9mo agoYour words are truly inspiring.
