That reading of the law is frankly stupid. They are organising a protest and AWS isn't able to take on the responsibility of being the moderation team for an entire internet. And not every nasty comment on the internet represents a threat requiring a police response.
There isn't any rebellion or insurrection going on, these are protests. We all know what a US political protest looks like, we've been watching them for years. There isn't anything especially new here.

It's funny when one side does it, it's protesting and when the other does it, it's terrorism. Straight out of 1984

When did BLM try to overthrow the government? When did they try to execute politicians?
18 U.S. Code § 2383 - Rebellion or insurrection
