Mark Levin interviewed the CEOs of Parler and Rumble last night. What Amazon did to Parler was even worse than blocking their website. Parler actually rented servers from Amazon and Amazon shut down their servers essentially isolating them from their software and data!!!!! AWS gave them a short while, I think it was 24 hours to get everything they wanted and then shut them off.
Think about this people. I have always worried about this push to the cloud. Once you give up your own servers, you have lost control over your data. This is a really scary action. Lots of small companies have taken the opportunity to give up their hardware to let someone else manage it. I don't think they were thinking that they were giving up what Parler gave up. They are still locked out of their servers and don't have all their data. Who knows if they will ever get it back.
@Jon,
Does your contract with your provider protect you from something like this? Shutting down the website was bad enough but not giving a company sufficient access to rebuild somewhere else essentially destroys a business!!!!!!!!!!
Rumble is the alternative to YouTube. They currently are suing Google for manipulating search results. Google's algorithm seems to be set to divert traffic from Rumble to YouTube. The example he used was "silly dogs rumble". In Google, you are directed to youtube videos but using duckduckgo, you get right to Rumble. Another example he gave was of a blogger who after several years had only managed to acquire 10,000 followers but after moving to Rumble got up to half a million within a few months. Google is playing favorites
