You don't necessarily need the cloud, a lot of times you pay a lot more for using AWS, GCP, Azure etc. There are of course times it may make sense but just because you can't or don't want to use the cloud does not mean you cannot put a service on the internet you're just going to need some classical dev ops and networking.

Hilariously, you are missing the point that it actually is illegal for the power company to deny service. In fact in my country it's illegal for them to cut your power off even if you're not paying your bills since it's considered an essential service.

Alternatively, if I spend time and resources building my own cloud infrastructure, I would like to be able to choose my clients. Political beliefs are not a protected class, nor should they be.

And politics aside, if a client had a bad moderation policy or refused to moderate their content per my standard, then I should be allowed to terminate the contract. They should then be free to choose another provider.
