No, it was a brilliant move on Amazon's part. Most of the populace understands wikileaks to be bad, engaged in killing soldiers, letting terrorists escape, etc.

No, it was a brilliant move on Amazon's part. Most of the populace understands wikileaks to be bad, engaged in killing soldiers, letting terrorists escape, etc. Most of the populace thinks that national secrets are a good idea. When you can lose a lot of business, be harassed by the US Senate, etc, it's probably a good idea to let a single customer go.
Yes lots of nerds and those concerned about liberty will be upset. However, when we want to make a purchase online or host some infrastructure we'll probably still use Amazon.
