      Platforms get big by being open, but at some point the way to stay big is to find uses that are unpopular and ban them. Reddit used to be very doctrinaire about free speech, but they've had to make compromises over time.

      yeah i'm just wondering about the buyer side of that "hmm, i am signing up to lose a shitload of money if amazon decides it feels bad about something that involves me"

      network effects - AWS only switched to that mode AFTER they swept most of the market by the time you the consumer worry that you've got no options ... you've got no options.

      Yeah, one way to look at it is that they switch from open to open-except-X only once they know that most of their users would rather change their business to comply than to find a third-party service.

      And because of the newsworthiness of any moderation decision AWS makes, it's not as if Azure or Google Cloud can say "We are happy to host content that is widely regarded as violent agitation."

      It will be extremely funny if the one company that will host this kind of thing turns out to be... Alibaba Cloud. I guess it depends on the N of N-dimensional chess that the CCP is playing.

          what's neat about this is that for all that docker is kinda shitty, the containerization revolution, and the rise of kubernetes as part of it, has made this much easier

          The big issue is not rote container hosting for most companies, it's the lure of using all those sweet AWS-only features. I had this covo w/ a boss in like '08 when Google AppEngine was being born. I was always skeptical of tying the biz to a Google product that cld be sunsetted.

          I briefly did banking once. In our case we couldn't use our preferred cloud vendor because of regulatory approvals. Otoh, this country is also particular with making sure no one person or org owns a large share of any bank, getting a 30% share is pretty much not allowed.
