AWS is hardly a single vertebra in the entire backbone of the internet. I’ll start worrying when Tier 1 carriers start blocking traffic. Until then, Parler is free to find another hosting solution.

The typically suggested counterproposal is state control of what is functionally a utility.

And while the First Amendment definitely applies to political speech, it does not apply to threats, which are a large part of Parler's stock in trade.

So what's your alternative?

That's an answer to a different question. You and I might agree there, but that's not an answer to the question I asked.

Exactly, Centurylink demonstrated a couple months ago they alone could take down and disrupt IPV4 traffic worldwide. I'm starting to wonder if that was a simple configuration mistake or a pre-run.
