There is still a risk of Google taking over the server. A month before AWS shut down Parler.com, I asked its founder how they had prepared to prevent a coordinated Silicon Valley attack. He responded that Parler maintained a good relationship with its vendors.
A few weeks later, AWS violated its own terms, which mandate a 60-day notice. Instead, they gave Parler just a two-day notice to remove Parler's services on a Friday afternoon.
Yep, this is a very good point. I think many in tech/bitcoin don't get how connected the fortune 500 is to the state. Honestly, its hard to say who is driving the car. We can be naive and forget that big business is one of if not the biggest driver of regulation and restriction of freedom. Especially in the US the government often uses business to do their dirty work. The lines between business and state are very blurred.
