As a person who works in Website Hosting, I can confirm that 'The Host can terminate your service at any time if they feel you've violated our ToS' is VERY MUCH a standard clause.
@camadams91493 жыл бұрын
Yes and that is certainly a problem when a few companies control the vast majority of hosting. We had a similar problem with utilities and we took certain actions to fix that. Something similar needs to happen with hosting.
@Malicebane3 жыл бұрын
@@camadams9149 fun fact, there's actually a metric BUTTLOAD of website hosting companies. Sure, there is a rather large 'family' of hosting companies that are under the same umbrella, but there's also a ton of individual and privately owned ones (I actually work for one of the ones that is outside of that umbrella). If you just go looking in to it, you can easily find more than a small number :). Not to mention a lot of hosts that resell, and people who set up their own hosting. regardless, though, I do disagree with the analogy on principle. If you sign a contract to not put certain things on a platform, and you violate that contract, then your service should be terminated and you should have to take your business elsewhere

@@Malicebane "there's actually a metric BUTTLOAD of website hosting companies" Fully aware. However, there is a reason people shop on Amazon instead of jackson's local store. There is a scaling, pricing, features, reliability, etc issues that come with the smaller companies. "If you sign a contract to not put certain things on a platform" You are making the same arguments utilities made. It wasn't an analogy. It was a direct statement on business model similarities.
@Malicebane3 жыл бұрын
@@camadams9149 so first of all, a 'direct statement' about the similarities between two things and how they're the same IS an analogy. that's actually what an analogy is. I'm sorry to hear you had a bad experience with your utility, but honestly if the hosting service owns the servers then they do have a right to be able to make the call of whether or not they want them used for certain things. your argument basically boils down to "I can use your equipment for whatever I want and it doesn't matter what you, the owner of that equipment, thinks." you have other options at that point. If you get kicked off a platform for violating your contract, then the onus is on you to do research and find a new platform. Does that suck for you? yeah, a little bit. But you should probably also read a contract before you click 'I have read and accept this contract'. If you don't, then you've really got no one to blame but you if you violate that contract and get the boot

@@Malicebane Analogy is comparing two things with shared characteristics for clarity. Im not saying they are similar. I am saying they are the same exact thing. "I can use your equipment for whatever I want and it doesn't matter what you, the owner of that equipment, thinks." Yup that's typically how utilities work. Doesn't matter what Im doing with the water, roads, or electricity. They provide a set quantity at a price (that's also regulated). Their control? Is it residential or commercial. That's it. You aren't "entitled" to the US market. Society get's to make that call. So I support making it so you can't use "your" equipment unless it's used in a certain way "'I have read and accept this contract'." Typical CS attitude, no wide contemplation. Which explains why we have the problems we do. Terms of service in the modern day are identical to laws. Make everything a violation then selectively enforce. Given hosting is a utility, that can't be allowed

Except in this case, AWS controls a HUGE part of the internet thereby making them more of a public utility then a private company. AWS can't claim to be a private entity while providing public utility services (this issue of them being a public utility hasn't been adjudicated yet but I assert they are, in fact, a public utility owing to their massive control of the internet and it's traffic). In other worse, your claim that AWS is part of the "free market" doesn't stand. The free market refers to a situation where there is equal corporate representation in the marketplace, here that isn't the case because of AWS' massive market share. In short, I assert AWS cannot cancel Parler because by cancelling they are effectively shutting down their access to the internet.

Wait, they're claiming defamation because Amazon said they're unable or unwilling to remove content? But, they didn't remove the content, they admitted to 27,000+ backlogged items. It seems to me Amazon was being charitable by including the "unable" part, what other options even are there for why the posts would never have been moderated? The only theoretical other option for why the posts were left up I can think of would be "we were forced to", which definitely doesn't seem to be what they're claiming at all.

I've submitted reports about people saying horrible things on twitter (e.g. calling for someone to be killed) and not received a response for over a month, while the person and the tweet both remained on Twitter. I suspect 27,000 is a rather small number when it comes to moderation backlogs.

It may or may not be an indication of a failing system. I have no context to know. Giving the number without context seems a bit disingenuous to me if, for instance, the backlog on any given day on Twitter could be in the millions while Twitter is presumably considered to be doing an adequate job. Either number will seem large without context. It seems kind of sketchy not to explain what the number _ought_ to be, perhaps when compared to an operation where it's appropriate. What number is considered successful? 10,000 1000? 100? Would those numbers seem large if they had been the ones we saw first? It's all about context.

@@Felice_Enellen One of the lines he highlighted in the contract said objectionable posts had to be removed *immediately.* That might be impossible to actually do (hence the backlog) but if they agreed to it, they’re still on the hook and likely in for a lengthy argument about how the contract defines “immediately” in this particular context (e.g. within 24 hours).

The issue with platforms like Twitter and KZbin is the vagueness in their ToS, allowing them to ban you for basically any reason they desire. An example would be to ban someone for "hatespeech" which doesn't actually tell anyone what they did wrong, which doesn't help at all. The person who was banned will merely go onto a different platform and play the victim and make the platform they were banned from look worse than before.

It's called the free market and capitalism, you know, the ones the republican party are all for. If their ToS and actions drive people away then they'll amend their ToS and moderate their actions to get back customers.

As providers they can do whatever they like and the free market will determine if they are successful in the long run.

ToS is full of terms and conditions that are directly tied to legislation.

I'm a Canadian Web Developer and Programmer, and honestly putting all the politics and right-wing terrorism aside for the moment; I'm honestly shocked a programmer would choose AWS for such as site. Amazon's Web Hosting division is a huge company, much bigger than their retail business with 10s of thousands of websites hosted world wide, so their terms of service are very specific and among the strictest on the internet. Since, if they had to adjudicate or investigate every little questionable piece of content on that many websites, they would need an army of moderators in the 100,000 range and given the kind of content those moderators come across on a regular basis, they typically demand to be well paid (gotta pay the therapists for their eye bleach); being less strict would be unbelievably expensive and could make their service offerings unprofitable. If it were me doing the coding (not gonna happen I'm NOT a Nazi!) I would have advised them to host the Website & the rest of the platform on their own servers. First-time setup can be very expensive, and for a platform that large you would generally need to hire at least one fulltime Web Master to manage the servers, but in general it's cheaper in the long run and you have direct control over your own content moderation (although, that's not always a good thing as it can make it easier for malicious users to abuse your platform's services, See the capital riot for a textbook example) Evidently these people have never heard of 4chan and they think AWS is the only game in town.

Yes in a legal sense social media platforms can do what they want, but I do think it is worth considering the large platform these companies give people and in turn can have a large influence over one's ability to speak and asking, is that a good thing? Is that a good system in concept, or do people just like it because they agree with how these companies censor people?

@@Noschool100 people are stupid and give power to companies who clearly state what they can and cant do, they dont read anything and then bitch about it, thats the problem, but how can they live without these social media apps? Now is it a good system for these companies to censor people? Morally speaking course not, but they have the freedom to do that and that is fine, its their platform and can do whatever they want with it, its dumbass people who give them that power. Is it a good system as a business? 100% yes.

@@XxDrJewxX "its their platform and can do whatever they want with it" Yes as it is now, but like previous things private entities were allowed to do, eg segregation, discrimination, nonexistent safety standards, owning people as property, there is an argument to change that. nobody needs Facebook just as blacks didn't literally needed to eat in a legally white restaurant in the 50s but that doesn't mean it's unreasonable to complain about policy people see as unfair.

Section 230 is full of amendments that are part of international agreements/pacts. One of those amendments requires domestic/international terrorism content be removed as quickly as technically possible. Its a pact a lot of nations and tech companies agreed to unilaterally after the NZ massacre. This law is reflected in S230 and most Code of Conducts and Terms of Services. Amazon was complying with an international agreement that Parler refused to acknowledge, by their own admission of the backlog. If Parler was refusing to take down terrorist content, Amazon took down the terrorist content the only way it technically (and quickly) could.

The argument is that "We can do just about anything ToS" are unlawful. As they should be, Amazon have a dominant market position and that should to be taken into account. They can't use that position to kill competition.

@@MrBlack1968 Parler freely agreed to that ToS though, and Amazon holds a big but hardly monopolistic market position. The internet is by its very nature immensely distributed and the fact that even sites like The Daily Stormer and indeed now Parler still find someone to host them cuts strongly against the argument that Amazon has a position in the market that would merit regulating them more strongly.

When agreeing to an EUA, I say to myself, "Yes, I'm selling my soul but it's cheap anyway". Parler on the other hand had already sold its soul (although it's really soulless) to the devil. Your ad for Mack Weldon was excellently transitioned to, as are all your sponsor's ads. It reminds me of the old cliché "Only a lawyer would consider a 500 page document a brief".

I know you have to have all these "probablies" and "maybes", but effectively it really seems very, very unlikely that this lawsuit is going anywhere. Sure: If they can prove that AWS have let their guard down specifically with regards to Parlers security, thus allowing them to be hacked - ok fine. But they have some responsibility to keep their own data safe too, and they really did not. The leak was done via SQL injection which would indicate that the "security lapse culprit" is Parlers own code.
