It says more: “don’t get caught providing a service for terrorists organizing violent acts”... AWS doesn’t want your business. Neither does anyone else. Nor do they want to be legally liable in any way. So if you’re in that business you probably should not host on US based providers of any kind.

The funny thing is that HN wants to get rid of Section 230, yet when these services dispense rhetoric that might bite them in the ass, HN gets upset.

HN doesn't want anything. Or if it does, you—as a member of HN—want it, too. If you're going to grant an exception to yourself, grant it to others here, as well.
HN is a huge community of humans. Those that post things on what you perceive as arguing one position are probably not the same ones you're seeing arguing the opposite. And even if they are, humans are well known for inconsistency.

I'm not going to sit here and pretend for the sake of other's comfort that 230 Repeal isn't the majority opinion in this site.
We tend to remember things that catch our attention over things that we think are normal, which can bias us to believe there's a higher number of voices against us than there actually are.
That's not to say that perhaps there's not a majority, but I don't think we can assess that without some real numbers. Do you have those? If so, what was your methodology?
