The cloud platform faces subscription losses as users migrate, amid growing scrutiny of Israel’s wider push to influence tech and social media
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.
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.

I don’t know, well AFAIK Filen in its free version (10GB) isn’t encrypted, but why do you want an unencrypted storage?
I’m saying we should avoid providers that offer unencrypted storage, like pcloud, filen, etc.
