  on Amazon Bows To US Censorship Pressure: Refuses To Host Wikileaks
  For everyone on here: I'm not arguing that it's freedom of the press for Wikileaks to do what they have. I'm not arguing that its moral either. All I'm saying is that having one U.S. Senator pressure, coerce or request other companies to follow int he footsteps of Amazon is not amount to governmental censorship. That is all. ;)

  How bout I just quote the good senator...
  
  "(Amazon's) decision to cut off WikiLeaks now is the right decision and should set the standard for other companies WikiLeaks is using to distribute its illegally seized material," he said in a statement. "I call on any other company or organization that is hosting WikiLeaks to immediately terminate its relationship with them."
  
  Read that quote and tell me where he orders anyone to do anything? And tell me where they were threatened? Because its not clear to me nor many people on here. And if anyone was going to "order" someone do you think it would be Joe Lieberman? Seriously? He's as imposing as my 90 year old grandmother and she's in a coma.

  Censorship is suppression of speech or other communication which may be considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or inconvenient to the general body of people as determined by a government, media outlet, or other controlling body The censorship would be when the U.S. government steps into the offices of Amazon with a warrant and shuts them down for not complying. A request is not censorship. Its just like me asking you to be quiet and not tell the world about the time I screwed your mom on the living room coffee table. Its not censorship till I tape your mouth closed.

  You're a douche. Reread his quote. He states an opinion on what he thinks the companies should do. But again, they are a private company and HAVE to do nothing but what they want.

  It's nice how you ignored the fact that you have no proof that Amazon was "ordered" to do a thing. Nor do they have to be. They could simply be doing the right thing or ticked that they are getting flack because WikiLeaks broke their terms of service. It doesn't matter because Amazon is a private company and can do whatever it is they want.
