So is aws going to be pressured to ban him now? I think aws banned parlor before. So this is not really going to be much of barrier to deplatform Trump again. Assuming he will be running for office again.

Yes and they will. Big tech and the DNC are tightly coupled. If he doesn't like it he can build his own data centers, but they can still refuse to serve him at the DDOS protection tools, the DNS servers and even the browser. Edge, Chrome and Firefox are all run by DNC cohorts. If they really wanted to unperson him nothing would stop it.

The millisecond that he officially announces that he will be running again, GoDaddy will strip the domain, AWS will terminate his account and the banks will find and block any accounts used to fund his campaign.
At that point, they will appreciate using free software, cryptocurrencies, decentralised finance (DeFi) and self-hosting your own services.
