Is putting something like "otherwise objectionable" as a reason to terminate contract legal? Can AWS terminate contract with a website owner who supports, say, gay marriages, because there is someone in Amazon who considers this to be "objectionable"?
- notahacker 6y ago'Otherwise objectionable' is meant to be a catchall, but isn't really the one Amazon is relying on, since much of the content Parler stated it didn't want to remove is also unambiguously abusive and defamatory. The words itself are the same as Section 230, except in this instance Amazon is saying it is willing to consider its clients responsible for their user generated content. There are religious web hosts that will terminate you for not following their Statement of Faith, so I don't think Amazon would have any issues in requiring its customers to have a particular stance on gay marriage in the very unlikely event it wanted to.
