i'm curious, what are you meaning by "freedom of speech"? in what way does releasing sex tapes constitute this?

i think the court has definitively answered this question (pending appeals etc), and i personally agree with the judgement.

plenty of games use aws, so i'm not sure why you say that.

i don't think this actually addresses the post.

of course they're biased. profit-seeking enterprises are strongly incentivized to not bite the hand that feeds. (not that state news isn't subject to this.) as noam chomsky has talked about, they "manufacture consent"
