Curious thing I'll note: Oracle, who has orchestrated much of the disingenuous "destroy big tech!" hatred, has a decently large cloud business, and could easily host Parler, if it chose to. Seems notable that it's not rushing to pick up the pieces after AWS's decision...
After all, Oracle has spent the last few years cozying up to Trump, and doing things like scoring the TikTok deal, orchestrated by Trump. So why isn't it publicly standing up and saying it'll host Parler and its Trumpist userbase?
I mean, perhaps it's because Oracle is *also* actively trying to undermine Section 230, and at least some of the many, many, many (many, many, many) lawyers at Oracle are beginning to recognize that Parler might... be a liability.
