Let me see if I can summarize this: Some years back, a webhost whose terms of service said "no illegal content" yanked the account of a client who was hosting some illegal content, as they do routinely. The webhost is part of a large corporate structure that ultimately has Jeff Bezos as CEO. Because of this, we know that Bezos, in his role as a private individual, as the new owner (not manager, editor, or CEO) of the Washington Post will, at some point in the future, exert undue influence to kill legal but uncomfortable stories for the rich and powerful. ....wait, what? I have no idea if Bezos will be a good owner or not, but this is the most tenuous argument. AWS yanking Wikileaks account may or may not have been a good idea; publishing the Pentagon Papers may or may not have been a good idea. Let's just accept that the former was a travesty and the latter was heroic. They're still radically different things. TL;DR: We have absolutely no idea what kind of newspaper owner Jeff Bezos will be, but we are getting a good idea of what kind of blogger Corey Pein is... (And if we're reading tea leaves, Bezos has supported libertarian causes in the past. Like them or loathe them, libertarians are the only real organised anti-establishment force in America; the flip side of a coin where Democrats and Republicans are only one face. As unlikely as it is, wouldn't it be amazing if Bezos leaned on the WaPo to hire Radley Balko? Now that would do some comforting of the afflicted and some afflicting of the comfortable...)
