There’s a deep #cloud stickiness story here. You can’t lift and shift *out* of AWS. It will take months, nothing works outside the walled garden, security groups, S3, load balancers etc. Gone.

Azure and GCE won’t want it either.

Extinction level event. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/johnpaczkowski/amazon-parler-aws

Not in the least bit sad to see this toxic cesspit be extinguished.

However.

What if in the future, say a mega tech decides that *you* have crossed a line they deem is worthy of ending access?

Maybe you’re a competitor who won’t sell?

It couldn’t possibly happen right?

We tend not to have a good track record in tech with large corporations coming out on the right side of history.

Sure let’s stamp out all these toxic vehicles of hate today and 100% get rid of them.

But, let’s take time to think about what’s also happening here longer term.
