Hope they win.

These Big Tech companies are colluding and exercising monopoly power, which should be ILLEGAL under anti-trust laws.

There's no monopolisticcollusion in this case. A web service can be hosted anywhere... there's plenty of options. It's not like AWS (or Google, etc) are the only players in town.

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.

Even the US government agrees with that conclusion, although they haven't actually done anything about it as far as I can tell:

A "liberal"??? Liberals/leftists are actually the ones more on your side and arguing "muh free market" and "muh private company" in support of the tech billionaires and their egregious censhorship.

Nice try though..

"As of 2017, AWS owns a dominant 33% of all cloud"


So Amazon can be judge and jury of 33% of the Internet?

Cloud and Internet are not the same thing.... Amazon does not control 33% of the internet by any means.
