Cyber criminals aside, we need bulletproof hosting providers badly. We saw what happened with Parler. The censorship from Bay Area tech giants is excused with the refrain that you can just build your own social network. Then AWS and others bowed to political pressure from Democratic legislators like AOC to deplatform Parler. Increasingly, every company - including infrastructure companies that should be regulated as utilities - is incorporating rules that ban those whose political views they disagree with. That shouldn’t be the case with internet infrastructure but even Cloudflare caved in a few years back.
Which providers out there advertise and commit to their neutrality?
I think
(started by one of the piratebay cofounders) does that, but their options are pretty limited and not price-competitive (although not extremely off).
