Eh I'm not so sure about that? I mean, "Did your userbase activately participate in a plot to storm the Capitol and potentially take lawmakers and the VP of the State as hostages (or worse)?" is an awfully high bar to clear.

The Acceptable Use Policy is here: https://aws.amazon.com/aup/ https://aws.amazon.com/aup/ If your users use your service for illegal or fraudulent activities, you have no way of stopping them, and your service is on AWS, then you risk being shut-down. That hasn't changed today. That was true as of September 16th, 2016 (and probably before then as well)
