David Winer spekuliert, darüber warum Amazon WikiLeaks von seinen Severn verbannt hat.
It makes perfect sense that the US government is a big customer of Amazon’s web services. It also makes perfect sense that Amazon wouldn’t want to do anything to jeopardize that business. There might not have even been a phone call, it might not have been necessary. Permanent link to this item in the archive.
Update: Of course most tech companies do business with the US government, and if they don’t they probably want to. For example, a couple of weeks ago, a story came out about the Army equipping every soldier with an iPhone or Android phone. Not saying there’s a connection, but a week later Apple banned the WikiLeaks app from their store. Permanent link to this item in the archive.
