## Quote — verbatim

> Deplatforming is being weaponized by state actors, against corporate transfers, against individuals that disagree with them, and we need a solution... you can run your primary site on Amazon... in case you get deplatformed you can switch over to Akash in an instant, instantly, without losing any of your customers.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Prompted by Anthony Pompliano's YouTube takedown the day before; disaster-recovery/failover pitched as a real adoption vector.
