Huawei is the global communications technology arm of the CCP so yes. It is evil.

It is running in a 'cloud environment' but it is not AWS.

Everything you use/like/love is hosted (in some part) on AWS

I'm incredibly offended by the stuff on Twitter and Facebook. Who do I speak to to make AWS bring them down?

You file a complaint.. Boney Fuller gets suspended about once a year.

Oh so AWS doesn't pull the plug and blast Twitter into oblivion for offensive content. Weird double standard

You need to take a step back..

Plenty of that offensive speech is on Facebook and twitter. AWS is still happy to host them. Why?
