Walmart to Vendors: Get Off Amazon's Cloud (wsj.com)

Amazon vs. Walmart saga continues. It turns out, Walmart isn't thrilled about its partners using Amazon's cloud, and it's telling them to get off it (alternative source). From a report: Walmart is telling some technology companies that if they want its business, they can't run applications for the retailer on Amazon's leading cloud-computing service, Amazon Web Services, several tech companies say. [...] Walmart, loath to give any business to Amazon, said it keeps most of its data on its own servers and uses services from emerging AWS competitors, such as Microsoft's Azure.

    Well what do you expect? Hillary Clinton was on the board of directors. The democrats, and by extension these liberal companies that are either run by, or afraid of Democrats use their power to control you. If it's not illegal because of a little thing like constitutionality, they just do an end run around that by controlling free speech in some other way. Usually some form of intimidation. Sadly, Amazon is owned by a liberal too. They all get big and successful, and then decide that they know what is best for you, and therefore they should be able to control you.
