Flagged. Calling Assange a "homeless beggar who wants to take a shit on your carpet" adds nothing at all to the debate. Amazon has every right to turn WL away.

Flagged. Calling Assange a "homeless beggar who wants to take a shit on your carpet" adds nothing at all to the debate. Amazon has every right to turn WL away. That they chose to do so is, IMO, unfortunate, for the reasons laid out here: http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2010/12/amazon-and-wikileaks-first-amendment-only-strong http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2010/12/amazon-and-wikileaks-fi... but that's their choice to make. And if people who wish Amazon had done otherwise want to spend their dollars elsewhere, well, that's their choice to make, too.
