Amazon's history of cutting off cloud resources to anyone that the government might frown at goes back almost as far as this history of AWS.

Bezos complied immediately (and later issued a press release that said, effective, "we totally did it because Wikileaks was not complying with our terms of service and it totally wasn't because a Senator called us and told us to."
