Well in fairness not hosting Wikileaks wasn't violating any user's rights or privacy.

  You don't think that Amazon's pulling Wikileaks' hosting at the urging of a sitting Senator might have any First Amendment implications? I mean, obviously, no law was passed, so it doesn't violate the letter of the law, but the spirit?

    Perhaps, but blame the government, not Amazon. I'm not sure there's even any evidence they really threatened to do anything. And as I said, they didn't leak users private information. In fact it didn't even succeed at shutting down Wikileaks, so it didn't really hurt anyone.
