Make your own social media service, they said. Where does this end? What's the endgame?

If you create an "anything goes" application, you better go into it knowing the main cloud providers probably are not going to keep you around if you do not adhere to their policy.

If their infrastructure is well engineered, this shouldn't make a difference. I don't have a lot of confidence in their founder though, he's always seemed in over his head.

What world do you live in where a fascist recruitment tool being banned is equivalent to losing all contact with other humans? Are you under the impression that this is the first time something like this has happened? World keeps right on spinning.
