1. It's like if blue states stopped paying most of the taxes for the red states

Not that Amazon is exactly blue but still

3. This!

[Dennis Donovan]

6. Good analogy. The Blue States have been the "host" of the Red States for too long

Cut the Red States off like AWS is cutting off Parler.

2. Oh my

[turtleblossom]

4. Yes, exactly what I'm talking about: ISPs, hosting services, etc.

5. uh oh ..

[servermsh]

7. THIS IS HUGE!!!!

[Wounded Bear]

8. No respectable business should sell hosting services to that shit...nt

[kcr]

9. Yes, this is the big deal

10. Yikes. Effective tomorrow.

11. Smart move. It removes liability problems.

12. And let's not forget the DNS - domain name system

If they can't get a name, then they're totally toast. They'll probably host everything in Russia.

17. AWS isn't the domain registrar.

Dreamhost is.

13. Let them move to Russia

14. SSL certs should be stripped, browsers and anti-virus software could block them as spam

15. That successfully cuts the head off of THAT snake

Getting rid of it in the Apple Store, Google Play, etc. only meant that you could no longer download it. No hosting means no Parler, so HOO FREAKIN RAY.

16. They can buy their own servers and host everything themselves.

Of course, there’s no way they’d be able to make it free.
