We do have laws. Parler has taken AWS to court. We'll see how good the contract AWS had with Parler is.

that’s not how eviction works though which was the context. just like you need to show proof before evicting someone and give them time

AWS is a place of business not a home. You can be immediately kicked out of a place of business for bad behaviour.

The OP makes the opposite case. We are discussing under that assumption.

shard972: innocent until proven guilty doesn’t apply in emergencies, e.g. insurgencies, coups, terrorist attacks, ...

But Im sure that if Parler is proven innocent they’ll have recourse

Parler should have deployed a multi-cloud strategy, even using OpenStack perhaps. They should have better prepared.

That's the thing that's pretty dumb here. Regardless of what anyone thinks about what happened, the Parler owners should have expected something like this to happen and planned for it.

given that google also banned them from the app store, i’m guessing they would be banned from the cloud. not sure about azure though...

but almost every large company blacklisted them in concert

Sure, but they don't need a "cloud". Just a hosting provider that would sell them enough dedicated servers to run the service. Like how everyone hosted a website before 10 years ago or so.
