How is it any different than if I was banned from HN or an IRC channel? These "platforms" are just large message boards.

  Both AWS and payment processors are substantially different from message boards.

    Cannot agree more, what Obama started in regards to politically weaponizing payment processors (both VISA and companies that interact directly with their networks) against certain industries and individuals in the wake of Sandy Hook is legitimately concerning. AWS creating DNS and routing features is equally concerning, personally I don't want to live in a world where platforms start to build, control and ultimately monopolize the infrastructure they rely on to exist.

  Don't you think that's a little reductionistic?

  Few people on HN have 89 million followers.
