So you actually believe in what you originally posted which was:
Big tech is very bad for the Interwebs, people should go back to their own sites where they post the tulip they like and people can decide if they want to read it or not
Originally posted by AtW View PostWhy should we move when we don’t break TOS of our service provider??? If we did and they told us to fook off then we’d move for sure. In fact we have 2nd data center (with totally different hosting company) ready for emergencies like that, guess Parler with their much better funding did not have plan B in the first place.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

What happens when your hosting provider gets taken over, or for all you know is already owned by someone else (I know of one provider in the Midlands that is actually owned by IBM but its very well hidden). How do you know they're not tax dodgers, did you do due diligence? Why not host the systems yourself and have full control?Originally posted by AtW View PostYes, and we don’t host with AWS or Azure - supporting local British hosting providers rather than tax dodging multinationals: everybody else should be doing the same thing and world will be much a better place.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

That’s what happens - and if it doesn’t we’ve got 2nd data center ready, very keen on us expanding foot print there.Comment

“Despite a posting from Parler’s chief executive on Sunday suggesting the site had many options for alternative hosting and that it would be back online within a week, the court filing suggested that would not be possible.
“Parler has tried to find alternative companies to host it and they have fallen through. It has no other options. Without AWS, Parler is finished as it has no way to get online.”

"AWS's decision to effectively terminate Parler's account is apparently motivated by political animus," the complaint reads.
"It is also apparently designed to reduce competition in the microblogging services market to the benefit of Twitter."
Parler social network sues Amazon for pulling support - BBC News
So apparently there is no proof of what they are claiming
Note - apparently they don't dispute wrongful decision under ToS they've agreed to, clearly that would have been their best line of defense - breach of contract that leads to losses. As one would expect AWS ToS would be bullet proof.
Also brings back to one thought- perhaps having Trump piss off Bezos was not a good idea afterall: getting Saudi allies to hack his phone to cause him to divorce his wife and pay her biggest divorce settlement would perhaps make Bezos less willing to protect Trump's interests, apparently.Last edited by AtW; 11 January 2021, 23:23.Comment
