There are many cloud providers and if they can’t find one to accept their breed of traffic, they’ll have to go old school and create their own infrastructure, create their own cloud, possibly collocation where they pay an ISP to host their computers and pay for bandwidth and power consumption as was done in the aughts. Time to start learning about rack mounted servers, U form factor and power/bandwidth packages that ISP’s still offer to clients.
Judgements about Parler aside, I find it very worrying that Amazon has this kind of power. Imagine Parler depends on AWS Lambda or is locked in some other way - it’s a death sentence (even if they don’t, this is extremely damaging).
This kind of decision should not be at the discretion of a tech company, in the “real” world there is a legal system for such matters.
