So Amazon can be judge and jury of 33% of the Internet?
Part of that 33% are cloud services for three-letter US government agencies, but hey, if you want to shut down folks that are defending our freedoms so you can make rants against said government, be my guest Comrade.

The bottom ls is AWS is a dominate force that can play judge and jury over many of the companies on the Internet.

You liberals hate it when private businesses refuse to do business with a customer. Force businesses to serve cakes that they don't want to and now this. This is just sad.
do you understand web service? or you think a web service is a website? anyway, do you know Aws is over 50% market share?
So, you will fight for a gay man's "cake right" (how many barkers in a county), but not fight for a company's operational right (how many web services providers in the US?)

AWS is just over 30% market share of cloud services. (It is growing though).

Leasing of compute, network, and storage resources by a company isn't a "right"... no more than demanding a goods or service from a business is a "right".

The 33% is only public facing servers. The point is they can play judge and jury over anyone on AWS. They can pull the plug on anyone they want any time they want.

You do realize how silly that sounds? That's like saying Imgur is the biggest image hosting service by far and thus it can play judge and jury over many companies on the internet. It's a silly thing to say.

They are talking about cloud services, not the internet. They aren't the same.

AWS hosts websites and company servers and can put companies out of business with a flip of a switch.

I'm talking about web services. According to that article, AWS only owns 33% share of cloud service... so how can it own over 50% of marketshare?

You liberals love your gay cake rights for everyone. I can see why you take this stance with AWS just like you do with your gay rights friends. Sorry, these are private businesses and can refuse business to anyone. There's no monopoly in the cake business or in the cloud business... as much as you keep emplying...

Would be good for ANYONE to win something against Amazon or any tech giant. They have way too much power.
