"Go make your own Facebook"

Then AWS takes down Parlor. And so many on Hacker News rejoice.

"Go make your own AWS"

Where does that end? Go make your own domain registrar? Go make your own ICANN? Go make your own ISP? Go make your own internet? Go make your own microchips?

If some virtue signaling Silicon Valley execs want to impress their friends, you're done.

Oligarchy. Has nothing to do with capitalism or democracy. It has to do with internet points and social standing for elite tech executives.

Looks far more like McCarthyism or totalitarianism than anything resembling a free democracy.
