What happened? Last night, Amazon Web Services announced that its most-Marxist employees have commanded it to cancel its web-hosting contract with Parler, the alternative-of-the-moment to Twitter.
Why does that matter?
Third, Amazon has now joined Google and Apple in dropping a triple-guillotine on a Twitter competitor – which will make for very juicy evidence in forthcoming anti-trust suits.
Second, many, many millions of pissed-off Americans will now boycott Amazon. Don’t believe me? Ask Fox News. Ask NASCAR.
But first and most astoundingly, AWS has just announced to its thousands of web-hosting clients that its most-Marxist employees have a Papal veto over their content and can put out their lights at any moment.
Billions upon billions of dollars in hosting contracts will be cancelled as soon as practicable until Amazon explicitly abjures content discrimination.
Won’t shareholders self-correct all of these unforced errors? Why haven’t they, so far?
Why would Jef Bezos commit what may turn out to have been a trillion-dollar blunder?
Is his hatred of Trump even greater than his storied greed?
Or is all of this just more China – burning its infowar assets as it goes?
