They could have terminated with 30 days notice (or similar) but instead they went for max damage.

They, along with trump and the rest of dissidents, deserve much much much worse. You can’t stage a coup and not expect repercussions.

If coup is what he really have done then he should sit on his trial, right? This is very heavy offense, judges should decide and if they rule him guilty he should go to jail. It's judges who should decide if he is guilty or not, not AWS or Twitter.

As I understand those who were involved in any crime are going to be chased and put in front of the judge.

AWS can decide whether they want to do business with fascists just like bakeries can decide whether they can sell cakes to gay folks. What’s so hard about this ? May be they should not attempted coup if they wanted to set up their Dynamo DB

In country where I live it is prohibited by law to promote fascism. So I think you are not right by saying company can do business with fascists (i.e. to promote fascism) if they like so. Such company would be dragged to court and owners would probably go to jail.

> bakeries can decide whether they can sell cakes to gay folks. What’s so hard about this ?

I had to look this up and it took a while to find the answer. There is no clear decision to say whether bakeries can reuse to sell cakes to gay people.

There is a difference between saying: "Sorry - it is against our beliefs to make a gay wedding cake - go somewhere else"

And saying: "Sure. I will make you a cake" and then spoil the wedding by not delivering in the last minute.

Sorry but what does this have to do with anything that I said? I was not trying to make any such distinction between those two acts.

I was simply saying that it's not so clear cut as to whether a baker can refuse service to anyone and they please. The Supreme Court ruled that Colorado was biased against the defendant, not that their anti-discrimination law was illegal.
