It depends... do you mean just "free speech" or do you mean "free speech" as in hotly controversial material which makes the hosting provider a lightening-rod for large-scale systematic DDOS attacks, possibly endangering their business and the business of thousands who depend on their services?
- PostOnce 16y agoFree speech isn't free if there are stipulations. I'm not saying Amazon should have to let you host whatever you want on their servers, just that if you can't host controversial speech there, you can't rightly say you have freedom of speech on that particular service.
- eli 16y agoOf course. Did anyone ever claim otherwise? Amazon has always had a whole list of things you can't say or do while using their service. You can't use you AWS site to "promote" child pornography even if it's hosted elsewhere. You can't promote gambling or host pyramid schemes. You can't use it to post anything "obscene."
