Amazon removes hosting for Parler

[nobody's_hero]

Who is selling Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Twitter stock on Monday?

Our household will be canceling our prime subscription.

BUT, we're fooling ourselves if we think these companies are worried about their profit margins. I've long suspected that the government has their backs. Boycott for our own personal satisfaction, but don't expect them to go under.

So I guess I'll be canceling my Prime account too.

AWS sucks anyway. It would be much cheaper just to host themselves. The real problem begins when ISPs start getting in on this action.

Hopefully companies take note and get off this absurd "cloud" bandwagon. It's more expensive and you put your entire business at risk of being shut down in a moments notice on the whims of a few communists in their mid-twenties.

I remember reading a couple of years ago about a liberty focused ISP. I believe it was a WIRED article iirc. Thought it was posted here too..

Does no one want to make some money?

In the fiat world it doesn't matter. The central banks will just give them more. That's why they don't care about money anymore. We saw it first with banks. Customers and banking have become an unnecessary nuance to them. Instead they can just buy up speculative assets pretty much risk free.

RPF is hosted on a Private Server?

Does no one want to make some money?

If I were an executive at a hosting service, I'd be reaching out to Parler and talking numbers immediately.

Putting that simple narrative argument outta the way, we all know what's going on and why. I wish Parler the best...

There's more money to be made by doing what the left wants. Besides, for most of these tech companies it's not about money, they'd gladly go broke to force their ideology on you.

If only we had Libertarians back in the 1955 to tell Rosa Parks to build her own bus and roads

 

[Okie RP fan]

That would be a really good theory if these companies were free market enterprises.

I've seen more libertarians and conservatives continue to spout this line of "they're private companies, they can do what they want. Go start your own."

The people who did start their own (Parler) are still being taken offline.
And these companies aren't private. Michael Rectenwald has plenty of material about all of this showing how Twitter, Google, Facebook, etc. are all very much in bed with the government to the point where we can't call them private. And most of them are taking orders very similar to the CCP's policies on censorship...

Yea, people are still stuck with this mindset and I'm struggling to understand how people can still be so ingrained in their own thought processes to not see what is happening today transcends the simple arguments of yesterday.

Fantastic

...you have no right to the services of any of these enterprises.

Don't like it? Don't use it

Literally nobody before you in this thread was claiming they have any right to these services. Instead everybody is presenting alternatives, like a typical RPF'er would and should.

You act like nobody else here understands these principles that have been repeated over and over to death for the last decade, but instead think that you're the only smart one in the room. After ten years of measuring each others' dicks, this libertarian virtue signaling needs to end.

Parler is already working on their own alternative, something they claimed to already have in place but needs one week to get everyone back up after getting kicked off AWS. They didn't cry about claiming to be entitled to AWS.

In bold, it has to stop, period. We can still respectfully disagree, but the snobbery is so uninviting and we have at our hands an opportunity to ride a bigger wave that's rolling to shore. I wish more libertarians and ancaps saw this instead of just b*tching about Trump and his supporters.

I bet Larry Ellison (oracle) will do it no prob, he hates Amazon.

I hope you don't really believe that. Oracle is just as deep in bed with the intel community (deep state tm) as the rest of them are.

People have been screaming for years about the ridiculous consolidation of internet control under Google and AWS. What we're seeing now is exactly why.

They're all In-Q-Tel funded, MIT/DARPA developed projects (along with FB, Twitter, etc), designed for exactly the purpose they're displaying today. All of this cloud stuff is materializing now into the WEF's "You will own nothing" vision. They're pushing for no one to have any control over data except them, Oracle included. But no, there's no plan and no script

Lol ok great. It was a half joke meant to poke fun at Oracle/Amazon rivalry but I guess it flew over your head a little there.

Now go look at your magic 8 ball so you can plan tomorrow's lunch.
