It's easy to take a single example and demonstrate a principle. That doesn't mean it'll hold water when the next issue comes around.

Should a small bank be obliged to provide payment processing for a supremacist website? Do they have the right to use the logo?

I'm not falling on one side or another. Simply pointing out what reality has been demonstrating strongly in recent years. These issues will come up. So will other, more commercially salient issues.

A service like Kickstarter just won't be neutral. There's no chance. Pressuring Kickstarter won't help. Want neutrality? It needs to be achieved by a different path.

I'm worried about AWS, and such. The current state of affairs is such that exclusion, censorship and such are inevitable.

Yes. That's the point of becoming a licensed type of entity. If you don't like it, remain private.

That lady didn't have to issue gay-marriages certificates, but if she didn't she wasn't going to keep her job at the state marriage office.

Sure, so they need to remain arms-length from government then.

Yup.
