“Human rights groups have asked Wikileaks many times to do more to censor information found in documents. They fear reprisals against aid workers, activists and civilians named in the leaked data.”

Okay? They didn't ask AWS to pull down the entire website though

And again, AWS cited the fact that the documents were classified as being one of the reasons for the termination. You can't get more political than that. Especially when AWS does not care about it when it happens in other countries.


I’m coming to the conclusion that you and I have fundamentally different definitions of the word “political.” That’s fine.


I think so too, though I usually don't have a broad "everything is political" position so I'm usually on the opposite end of this type of conversation haha. But I see what you mean, it wasn't anything related to partisan politics or culture wars.
