Cloud hosting platform Vercel is under fire after its CEO, Guillermo Rauch, shared a photo of a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday.

The image, which Rauch framed around discussions of AI education and “keeping our free societies ahead”, was immediately read as a political statement given Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

Within hours, developers and users across social media declared they were cancelling their Vercel subscriptions, deleting accounts, and migrating projects to competitors like Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, Fly.io, and Render.

    +1 for pCloud. I've been using them for years. Really great service.

    -1 for pcloud. They support unencrypted storage.

    Most of those provide unencrypted cloud storage. There's only a few you'd want to use

    Wrong, all provide encrypted no knowledge storage, Internext even with Quantum encryption. Privacy protection is mandatory in the EU to be able to operate.

    What I said was that they provide unencrypted storage. It's possible, for example, to store something unencrypted on PCloud. It's not possible to do that on Mega.

    Do any of these even do what Vercel does?

    Visit the homepages and look which features they have, normally similar in all cloud services. But for sure they don't have friendly meetings with Netanyahu
