I'm a supporter of extremely strong free speech protection, but this doesn't seem entirely black and white to me.
AWS is a private hosting company, and they may be exposed to legal or authority action based on what their clients host. It seems a lot like the Facebook arguments to me.
If you want to obligate them to support free speech, I think they need to be regulated as carriers otherwise it's not a reasonable standard to hold a private entity to. At least there is more competition in the hosting space than there is for Facebook.
Maybe this is an argument for regulation, but I don't think it's an argument for finger wagging. Either there is some sort of enforcement, or we acknowledge there are alternatives.
