       | But to this issue, I think a strong argument can be made that as
       | CEO, he should have known Parler was at risk to be de-platformed
       | and he should have had alternate hosting plans. It's really a
       | question a lot of leaders should have about their cloud
       | providers.

       | Even with all the 'infra as code' tools like Terraform, Ansible,
       | etc. There's still a tremendous amount of vendor lock in when you
       | choose GCP, AWS or something else. Still, if it's a big risk to
       | your business, it's work a big effort.
