Stripe bans Trump campaign

Replying to Chrissnell comment which seems to be flagged.

I agree with your sentiment, and I was there on slashdot in those times. Even though I have nothing for or against the political events happening in the USA. I fear that all these companies are using what happened as a pretext to stop giving service to people with different ideas.

Twitter censoring trump is OK. Reddit censoring some channels is OK. But blocking a chat app from apple/google store? AWS? Stripe? This is exactly what a lot of us fought for ed2k, BitTorrent DeCSS and other technologies: the technology is not bad. And even if we dont like the content, we should allow people with different ideas to talk a out it.

Sure, some of the people at the capitol committed a crime. But it's the same as if companies have banned cryptography because of DeCSS.

Does anyone know why AWS hasn't kicked off Parler yet? Is this a hard decision for Bezos?

AWS laid out the timeline in their letter to Parler:

> "Because Parler cannot comply with our terms of service and poses a very real risk to public safety, we plan to suspend Parler’s account effective Sunday, January 10th, at 11:59PM PST."

According to my watch, it's a few minutes past 17:30 PST.

At the time of writing, absolutely no-one.
