Eventually people will go after payment processing and this will get shut down.

The left seems to think they can control this monster they've created forever. I hope to God they're right.

I miss the left that was against big business, monopolies, and gatekeeping.

The left is still against big business and monopolies, but the left in America is basically dead.

Just adding, for an example of someone on the left talking about this, look at Greenwald's post on the frontpage of HN: https://greenwald.substack.com/p/how-silicon-valley-in-a-sho...

At this point Greenwald has been pretty thoroughly disavowed from by the left, is my understanding.

Facebook (has much more to do with the attack) YouTube and Twitter has tons of similar content to Parler. Tons! And nothing is done to them

who cares? isnt this what they always say? "don't like it? build your own x". Then you cant get mad when they do it.

HN users ovewhelmingly prefer that money that could have been spent with AWS now goes to this hosting company so this is good news, I suppose?

Secondly, if that content can be legally hosted there, AWS should find it harder to defend its sudden termination of Parler's account. I think they should be able terminate any customer account as they see fit, but when they do it without reasonable notice they should pay for damage caused.

i and many others have taken this as a wakeup call that its not safe to build our companies on someone else's platform. hopefully itll have a big enough effect to hurt AWS in the long term but i guess well see.
