Out of curiosity how much time for remediation is generally allowed before service is pulled? Surely the precedent is not "you do something bad and we ban you immediately"?

In FTA it says AWS generally gives 30 days per their contract with Parler, but I mean in general, if there is a general precedent. Even if Parler wanted to do the right thing here, they were pretty much banned everywhere immediately.

For hosting illegal content, their TOS says service may be terminated 2 days after notice. That's what happened.

Ah, interesting. Thanks for the information.

It depends _entirely_ on the contract terms and reason for termination / suspension.

On month to month services, 30 days is normal for almost any reason. But abuse and related ToS violations don't ever get 30 days.

Immediately termination is pretty much the industry standard.

There seem to be a few examples of gcp turning off service with little to no notice and no follow-up.

yeah - probably once a month(?) we hear about a new one on HN though that's in general and not google specific.

But plenty of people/business have been burned before, its not like this is some one-off.

edit: omg, my apologies to the english language! fix spelling/etc.
