Re: Beginning of the end for cloud?
Depends if your 'business critical functions' involve breaking the law. If Parler gained popularity amongst Islamic terrorists, I doubt so many self proclaimed 'free speech' advocates would be decrying its demise.
Even if you own your own iron, its rare for companies to own their own datacentres. For each layer beneath what you own there is a business relationship that can be terminated at any time... by law enforcement if need be.
You wouldn't expect TPB to be openly hosted and accessible on AWS et al, so why Parler?
TPB still exists though, so Parler (or its de-facto successor) could end up following a similar path.
