Well, you've just lost me as a customer for life. I had no horse in the game and condemn the violence on both sides - I just value free speech. I hope to see this censorship punished by the market and reflected in Amazon's stock price as well. I'm not a big fish but I'll take my couple thousand/mo elsewhere.
Cool. You're a rounding error of a rounding error of a rounding error for AWS. Amazon's stock price is doing really good and is only going to improve.
It's important to note that AWS didn't change any policies. It just found the backbone to enforce them. AWS never allowed free speech; there have always been terms of service. I guess you just ignored the fact that the ToS exists in exchange for the stability and ease AWS provided you. But now you can't ignore that and reconcile your beliefs with your past behavior (i.e. using AWS as a platform). So AWS has to go. That's cool. AWS will survive.
I would suggest you show ideological consistency and take AWS skills off your resume. It weakens your stance considerably if you're using AWS's clout to market yourself to employers. Take a stand. Refuse to use AWS in a professional capacity.
Free speech doesn't require access to AWS. If there is a large market for violent far-right LARPing, the market will adjust and some AWS competitor rise to host white supremacist and white-supremacist-adjacent LARPers. And you can give them your money because you support their stance on allowing Parler and its ilk to use its platform.

This reads like a dramatic breakup prompted by an affair.
Did you just group me - a cuban-venezuelan-american - with white supremacists? This is quite rude. I am familiar wih AWS so I'll leave it on my resume, thanks for the unwelcome advice - though I certainly will advocate my employers choose something else. You don't care about me as a "rounding error" and thats fine. Sad to see that anti-free speech is so pervasive at Amazon that you actually feel comfortable being so arrogant, ignorant, and impolite.
