In light of Parler recently being kicked off the Amazon servers, this has started to greatly concern me in that most of our software that we use today is trending to web host technology and data storage.
Technology wise, this is all very sound and reliable however the recent actions of Amazon would seem to indicate that there is a risk that has not been considered and that is access to the Cloud servers being based on idealogy.
There is also the rumor, don't know if it is true or not that the Parler database was dumped.
Politics aside of Parler, Amazon is a corporate entity and does have the right to operate their business as they see fit.
What greatly concerns me with this monkey house feces fight is that there now appears to be the real possibility that political views and or affiliations can be grounds for being denied Cloud services. This in essence would be akin to putting a paddle lock on a businesses front door. It is also dangerously close to extortion in that you need to uphold the values of the owners of the server farms.
To me this seems to be much too Orwellian in its nature to be healthy for business or society in the long view.
