Pff, kek, "good publicity".
I was already avoiding amazon, but would still cheat here and there and buy little bullshit things that are just so easy to buy from them... NO MORE! I am actively shutting down everything AWS that I can at work right now, in fact, and calling meetings with other teams we support to shut down even more where possible. Fuck amazon right in the pussy.
And I was never even a parler fan; it's just the principle of the thing.
I would say that is reasonable. Anybody who is in the business of reproducing what a user put into a form should be wary. Amazon is unlikely to stop with Parler if they get away with it. You know how SJWs are.
What I'm trying to figure out is if businesses let Amazon do whatever they want in the first place, and why In other words: Why would a customer who is paying money to Amazon agree to be shut down arbitrarily and with little notice? Did anyone really sit there and think that Amazon would never abuse the right to do that?
I'm fortunate in that I am the biggest fish in this small pond, in that I am in charge of my department; it's just a matter of migrating the stuff we run for other departments somewhere else, and I shall make similar points as you just did and expect not to have too hard of a time persuading them to let me come up with safer approaches to hosting our own stuff preferably on our own servers.
