What does "due cause" mean? Amazon owns the servers, ultimately, they can shut it down anytime they want for any reason they want. Of course, there are repercussions of doing so for political reasons. Today, I imagine, thousands of IT managers all over the world are discussing their reliance on Big Cloud (not just AWS). I've had this discussion already years ago with management and they told me they were going head first with Big Cloud. Guess what I'm hearing today? "What should we do now?" My answer is to rebuild our on premise data centers immediately. Fuck the costs, we won't have a business if our landlords pull the plug for any reason.
Management assumed hackers were the biggest threat. It never occurred to them the providers themselves would be a much bigger threat.

You are correct, it's their servers, and they can do what they want. That's all there is to it.
I would expect that, while there is talk about reliance on the "big cloud," it will be forgotten soon enough because the sweet lure of cloud services is a drug that's hard for IT managers (at least those ones that are managers first and IT people last) to give up.

Unfortunately, you are correct. This will be forgotten quickly. "It's just Parler". It was only 8chan. It was only ar15.com, it was only piratebay, it was only dailystormer, it was only gab and on and on, but it wasn't my business. They won't deplatform me because I'm a small business. Right. Tell yourself that.
The drug you speak of is convenience, costs, headaches and others. Yea, Big Cloud is attractive and addictive.

Use open source software, and host your website in your own property.

Using OSS is no guarantee of anything unless you can examine (fully understand) the code and compile it yourself. Hosting a website on your own property, probably meaning a home network, is a good way to get a DDOS, or at minimum, some script kiddie from China hitting your address looking for Oracle passwords.
The only real way around the second is to use some sort of peering system like zeronet, but even that may be suspect at some point.

well, if you have a high threat level, it's better to use your own infrastructure. Obviously a regular e-commerce or a business site doesn't have to avoid AWS, and AZURE, because they are unlikely to be axed by the platform.

If you're at high risk of being hit, then make sure your webserver security is airtight. Put up something and open port 21 to see how quick you get found.
