Literally in the OP - The ban goes into effect on Sunday

It's Sunday somewhere, right?

farewell to free market capitalism the actions of tech giants will forever suppress any company that expresses views differently. The next target will be bitchute and chicfilet. The days of the term start up is over.

Damn that’s a surgical strike. Better not upset these corporations, be homeless in no time.

If I had to guess, it's not going to happen until it hits US availability zones. Either Eastern or Pacific time, depending on how they set the job up to turn the host off. Will take a bit to replicate out to DNS, although I imagine Google DNS is already killing traffic there.

Good.

Fascism is good?

I guess it really is more popular than most give it credit for.

From a follow up article with a reply from the Parler owner to Fairbanks...

Matze concluded that “this was a coordinated attack by the tech giants to kill competition in the market place. We were too successful too fast. You can expect the war on competition and free speech to continue, but don’t count us out.”

No worries, I saw what you were doing

Amazon just lost all of my business...a substantial amount of business.
I won't support a company that advocates censorship and bigotry.

Yeah I know, I was being facetious.

On a related note, Bitchute was mentioned so I looked up their DNS. It's on Rackspace in the US, then has a Canadian and Holland backup. Quite nice actually.

Have you ever actually been on it, Parler, Voat, or GAB? It's DISGUSTING. Basically platforms for people to use the n-word as often as possible, and call for the slaughter of gays. I DO frequent these places as an opposition troll.

By actively suppressing an idea, all you do is give it power and legitimacy in the minds of those who perpetuate it. If you want to change or eliminate an ideology, give those who espouse it good reasons to abandon it.

Crap.

I like using Amazon, but since you said that, how can I support them.

Yesterday we had Apple and Google getting rid of the Parler app, and some members brought up that it wasn't really an issue because we could still get on the website.
well guess what...

Amazon has kicked Parler off their webhosting service, meaning the platform will be offline until they find a new host.

The ban goes into effect on Sunday, effectively shutting down the platform that conservatives have flocked to since the big tech giants began banning conservatives.

That leads closer to the dire scenario that I brought up...that this could only be the next step, with ISPs eventually refusing to allow it

How many Americans would it take to storm anti-American corporate fascist Amazon and change the company for ever?

200?

The people / corporations only hold power over us because we let them.

My Amazon account will be deactivated after I move around some things tonight.

I'm going to start decoupling from these people. I will then write a how to.

I'm done supporting fascism as it is used against the very principles I hold dear.

Please share it.

Thank you.
