Amazon cutting ties with Parler
-
I'm with Ax in part. If the dark web guys can figure it out, the Parler people can figure it out.
The problem is, this is gay wedding cakes, except hypocritical. Plenty of other radical groups have organized on already established social media platforms with no consequence in terms of their server hosting.
An optimistic view of all this is that regarding the printing press analogy, it's all part of one large social correction that needed to take place anyway.

Does anyone wonder about the decision by the DOD to choose Microsoft over AWS - when up until President Trump's intervention, it appeared all but certain to go to AWS?
"AWS is alleging that procedural errors in and changes to the request for proposal lead to the Department of Defense, as well as U.S. President Donald Trump’s interference, to erroneously award the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure, or JEDI, contract to Microsoft."

Excerpt from the letter to Parler.
“Over the past several weeks, we’ve reported 98 examples to Parler of posts that clearly encourage and incite violence... It’s clear that Parler does not have an effective process to comply with the AWS terms of service. It also seems that Parler is still trying to determine its position on content moderation,” the letter reads. “Because Parler cannot comply with our terms of service and poses a very real risk to public safety, we plan to suspend Parler’s account effective Sunday, January 10th, at 11:59PM PST.”

It shouldn't be too hard for Parler to move to a different cloud provider. There are plenty of them around. Not many have capacity on the level that AWS has, but Parler is small enough that they have plenty of options.
That said, I also think this isn't good.

I've been preaching for quite sometime about a couple of different facets of this story:
-
The internet is the new public square, especially the Big Tech companies such as Twitter, Facebook, etc. There has to be some level of regulation (at least for Americans) that ensures the same level of free speech as a public square.
-
Big, can be too big. It stifles competition and innovation. It's time for some Teddy Roosevelt trust-busting.
The Left in this country is currently using the Capitol Riot as their Reichstag Fire and Big Tech is helping them silence any and all opposition...

I don't necessarily disagree with what you said, but it's still not so clear to me what specifically you want me to enjoy. It's not like I endorse what's happening. Quite to the contrary...

I'm being somewhat facetious...The defeat of Trump, coupled with the takeover of the Senate by the Dem party, will embolden the Far Left and their fascist bent. I think Big Tech has bought Biden, heart and soul. I also think he is too mentally and physically weak to defend the Center.I
Silicon Valley politics are going to rule, and the Devil take whoever, whatever or whomever they do not approve of.
Lastly, when that is taken into considerarion, maybe Renauda is right in his prognostication.

The far left could gain more actual power, but isn’t there also a chance that moderate ideas could have more space once the “great orange menace” has been removed?
If you believe TDS is a thing, maybe the some of the “D” will disappear with the “T” in power.

That was my thought too (unless they didn’t build their system to be cloud agnostic by using some AWS-only services). That being said, I imagine if they went to Microsoft, IBM, Oracle, Google, etc...they’d get kicked off of each.
