It is the responsibility of the government to determine what's legal and not, there's an entire court system that does just that. And Parler is using that system by filing a suit against AWS.

But that doesn't mean that I can help someone load a body into his car, then tell police later "Well, I wasn't sure if he was legally killed or not, so I was just trying to help out, it's not my job to determine legality, I was going to come in later today and ask you guys about that. You can probably still catch him if you want to, I got his contact info: he said his name was John and his car said he lives in the Ukraine"

Ok, fair point. I think you convinced me that Amazon had a moral responsibility to terminate their relationship with anyone they believe is breaking the the law. I suppose that if the customer sues and wins they can try to recover damages.
