OK. This guys an idiot. Just like the developers of Parler are.
If you rely completely on third party vendors and don’t understand and know their TOS then you only have yourself to blame.
But calling Amazon a monopoly of the cloud is ridiculous. They could use A litany of other providers. Oracle, 1to1, Microsoft, linode, digital ocean, vulture. The list is almost endless.
Diversity of hosting is key to uptime and scaling.
Also, with a little bit of work, they could deploy open stack on their own servers in a matter of hours to days if they weren’t complete noobs.
