I'm calling total crap on that. At best this is civil law and contract interpretation between the two parties.

Or, should AWS be forced to host the Daily Stormer against their own freedom of association?

Yes. AWS is so big that the common carrier laws should apply to it.

Then argue that law in front of congress.

Even still, the first amendment doesn't cover calls to action so even this would have been well within legal rights to block or terminate.

Ah yes, the old “someone can’t have an opinion on what should happen unless they themselves draft legislation and take it into congress.”

I was addressing OP who said the content was illegal. AWS is within their legal rights to boot anyone off because of the Terms and Conditions. This thread is about the ethical side of what they did.
