Now we're getting into transitive deplatforming. If Parler uses Epik and Epik uses AWS, will AWS drop Epik?

There’s likely collateral damage (a registrar/dns has many customers)...and Amazon may or may not act on this particular case.

Epik is an interesting company. Their previous CTO (from an acquisition, BitMitigate, which is/was a sad excuse of a nginx reverse proxy on Voxility), is a script kiddie that DDoSed Trump and the Trump campaign site with some message similar to (paraphrased) "you should buy ddos protection from me" open in a notepad instance.

Probably a move that satisfies both sides?
