This is a list for Network Operators, AWS certainly operates networks.
This is a list for pushing bits. The fact that many/most of us have other businesses doesn’t make this an appropriate forum for SIP issues (to use my own work as an example).
No, this is a list for Network Operators.
Right, it’s not a list for content hosting.

I assume multiple networks/ ISPs that have acceptable use policies that call out criminality and incitement to violence, for example:

Have these AUPs been invoked previously for these reasons, or would that be new territory?
They certainly have been many many times, but that's an entirely
different animal than the rules for content hosting and publishing.
Actions from network providers have (AFAIK) always been in conjunction
with some traffic from or to the violating party rather than an
otherwise legal content hosting arrangement.

Imagine if Tier 1 ISPs had a censorship free clause that required companies like Twitter, Facebook, and Amazon to provide services free of censorship or have IP blocks blackholed. They would lose hundreds of millions of dollars per day. I bet they would reverse their tone in a hurry.
“You have to let your customer’s services contain death threats against the owner of your company or we’ll blacklist you” is the wildest take of 2021 yet.
Blocking Amazon because of who they allow to remain a customer is something I wholeheartedly encourage my competitors to do.
And yet, Amazon will still happily sell you this item:

In fact, it is listed as: #1 Best Seller in Anarchism
Thanks for the reminder! (I hadn’t realized it had been updated recently

According to reviews though the updated version is an edited/sanitized version, not the same as the original.

Clickbait title.
"The company said Monday it decided to block Facebook and Twitter
for customers who request that starting next Wednesday after the
company received several calls from customers about both websites."
The way I read it, they aren't blocking Facebook/Twitter for everyone
- the customer has to request the filter for their service.

It was actually the reverse in the initial email they sent out.
They were going to block and only let you access if you contacted them.
They are honestly a bunch of morons trying to cover their own asses at this point from the blowback. Obvious whose team they are doing this for.
I spent a week in northern Idaho around 10 years back, and I believe they were the provider I had to use up there. Seemed like multiple layers of NAT (like one layer per tower) and I was showing up on the ‘net with an IP address from a lawyers office.
Yeah... I’m used to really shitty WISP networks, but this took the cake. To be fair, they may be better now.
There's a pretty big difference between imparting knowledge and inciting violence.
