Social Parler back up Hosted by same company as HAMAS

Pirate Bay Founder Thinks Parler’s Inability to Stay Online Is ‘Embarrassing’

“The Pirate Bay, the most censored website in the world, started by kids, run by people with problems with alcohol, drugs and money, still is up after almost two decades,” Kolmisoppi said. “Parlor and gab etc have all the money around but no skills or mindset. Embarrassing.”

He's pretty much comparing apples and oranges. Pirate bay is a website that arguably has minimal overhead cost. The majority of traffic is being used in a static manner. Seems pretty short sited to imply a social networking application can do it the same way as well. Even huge company's like Netflix would struggle to be back online if they had their cloud infrastructure yanked with 24hrs notice.

Also this bit is a little funny:
In more recent years, Kolmoisoppi has moved on to fund Njalla, a privacy-centric domain name registration service. One he says was already asked to host Parler, and refused.
“Of course we wouldn't,” Kolmisoppi said. “We're pro human rights, which includes the right to not be killed by extreme right wing terrorists.”

Meanwhile piratebay trafficked child porn. But I'm sure his attitude is he isn't responsible for a few bad actors misusing his service.

I mean, do they want absolutel free speech or not?

What rules and regulations do they want concerning speech on a platform?

You can pretty much say whatever the fuck you want.

It just seemed like you were trying to paint it as the people that advocate for free speech are the ones who are in racist cesspools using the N word constantly.

I'm just saying that advocating for free speech doesn't mean you're the type of person who says terrible things.

The founder is right in the sense that Piratebay build their infrastructure decentralized and encrypted. It's not hard to host because they made it that way through good decisions. Before magnet links, they were hosting their own torrents and staying afloat as well. Websites often build their app cloud native but they have no reason to believe the plug will be pulled on them. Makes no sense at all that Parler, considering the business they were in and having seen what had happened to Gab, would build on AWS knowing they were breaking the TOS of their partner. Seems they don't to have redundancy ready to go despite the predictable removal. The CEO focused on the "idea" of a free speech platform, but the tech side was an afterthought. Bad dev team / poor recruiting for sure.

What would you have them do differently? Have you been seeing whats going on with gab lately? It can't handle the new traffic because scaling out metal servers isn't with the times. From what I know, the CEO had a contingency plan; however, it unexpectedly fell apart due to all the negative press.
 
annnnd its back up for now ... hosted by the same company that hosts HAMAS

Only took until late 2019 and pressure from Israel until Hamas was taken off Twitter. I wouldn't be keen on using the guilt by association thing here.
 
Why am I not surprised?
