Modern cloud platforms are essentially giant proprietary server OSes, so is Parler's difficulty in coming back online due to finding hosting, or is it due to using so many proprietary AWS features, switching providers is like porting server software from Solaris to Windows NT?

The ejection of Parler by infrastructure companies like Google, Apple, and Amazon is neither a new nor a surprising development. But it nonetheless represent a significant departure from the expectations of most users. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/01/beyond-platforms-private-censorship-parler-and-stack

5. This first day with an analog watch has already revealed to me just how much a smart watch has created subconscious, compulsive habits. It's unnerving to see tech rewire your brain like that.

Right now approximately 3 people control the ability of you and several billion other people to communicate.
This is possibly the most threatening thing to ever happen to democracy.

There is a coup happening.
It's being executed by Google, Facebook, and Twitter.
They believe they should decide for the entire world that we are allowed to say to one another.
