Amazon already asked Zello, another banned communication app, to stop using their servers to circumvent the Russian ban.
Can't see why they wouldn't shy away here as well.
- slackuser 8y agoWhats funny is that Amazon "support" net neutrality and free speech only if this "democracy" will help they business, if not they will block your account even if you haven't violated any rules
- JumpCrisscross 8y ago> Whats funny is that Amazon "support" net neutrality and free speech only if this "democracy" will help they business Amazon supports net neutrality in America, a democracy, where debating such things has meaning. Opposing the Kremlin in Russia is meaningless. You'll just get stomped on. As long as Amazon don't directly support anything insidious in Russia, that's a fair compromise between two incompatible systems. > haven't violated any rules Different sets of rules.
- Buge 8y ago>Opposing the Kremlin in Russia is meaningless. You'll just get stomped out. Isn't there some line where if a country does something bad enough you will refuse to do business with them? That doesn't seem meaningless to me. You would only get stomped out in that country. You would not get stomped out globally.

- Buge 8y agoThere's probably still some line. Just China hasn't reached Apple's line yet.
- rhcom2 8y ago"Stomped on" in this context just means Amazon can't make money in Russia, right?
