Those might be valid defenses, ultimately it appears a court will decide. As far as #1, one might potentially argue that the evidence is the banning of Parler by Apple and Google's app stores, plus revocations from Stripe, Twilio and others, all within 48 hours. Further, it also coincided with Twitter (a much larger AWS customer) banning Donald Trump. #2 is probably not so simple either, as Google (i.e. GCP) was one of the participants in the ban, and a bunch of those other companies aren't US-based. It's why we have courts and juries.

- crististm 6y agoIllegal content is decided by courts
- that_guy_iain 6y agoGoing with this comment and the idea that only the courts can decide if content is illegal. The idea that a hoster can't take down a child porn website because they haven't been to court is completely outragous. There are things that we clearly know to be illegal and we don't need the courts to tell us.
- crististm 6y agoThe legality of stuff is something the is judged in a court of law against the laws emitted by the representatives of the people. From this things get complicated. Some stuff is obviously illegal and people know it. And other stuff some people agree with and others don't. What do you think happens when a public corporation takes the role of a judge and sides with either party? Where is the legality of this? Since you mention children. WTF is going on in USA with the gender changes on children? This should be considered child abuse and parents should be stripped from their rights. Or is this not on par with child pornography?
