What if your service provider cuts you off?

I change the provider?

Are you arguing I'm not allowed to host because a service can cut me off, so I need to open myself to more services that can cut me off?

No, I’m saying that trusting [Internet service provider whom you don’t control] to keep your site up is pragmatically identical to trusting [web hosting company whom you don’t control] to do the same.

right, just like you can change the provider of your hosting.

Why not work instead on reducing the number of roadblocks and services that you need to manage, rely on, hand over your rights to, and entrust them with your personal data?

I don't know about you, but that seems to me the logical thing to do

Convenience of course.

Great, that means we don't disagree

Because the entire point of the article is that hosting on mobile should be indeed more convenient and accessible.
