John, What’s your point? Are you saying that it’s OK for an ISP to break antitrust laws for a political cause? To bring this discussion back into the realm of operational discussions, shouldn’t we be building infrastructure that has the audit and change management components needed to detect ill-advised actions like Amazon’s? I recently read that Theranos IT conveniently “lost the keys” to the encrypted database files that are key evidence in the DOJ’s fraud case against them. Clearly there is an ethical case for us as technologists to treat these events in a non-partisan way. The days of “I was just following orders” are long gone. -mel

Parler also has an excellent antitrust case, as the idea that three companies would simultaneously pull the plug on their services for a single common customer is going to be hard to explain to a judge.
Aw, come on. Judges have even beeen known to read the papers or turn on the TV now and then.
