I really despise when corporations choose to censor their customers and users. I don't care what the content is if it's technically legal.<p>If it matters at all, I am neutral about abortion.
I believe that the whole Texas anti-abortion law is unfair. Nevertheless, undermining public discourse based on political preference is going to be always wrong.

I don't support restrictions on abortion for the same reason I don't support vaccine mandates - bodily autonomy is a fundamental human right that must be upheld. That said, infrastructure utilities like AWS, GoDaddy, and others are exerting their own political bias into their services. We really need new laws and new regulation to prevent this. We need to start treating people's political positions as a protected class across the board, and also recognize that existing fundamental rights like free speech cannot be exercised if giant companies censor others. Even if there are multiple companies on the market, their affinity to Silicon Valley means they carry the same political biases, and often act in unison when it comes to censorship and deplatforming - as we saw with bans of Donald Trump or Parler. And no I am not interested in building my own hosting service, and no I don't think private companies can do whatever they want just like private power utilities can't.
