AWS can decide whether they want to do business with fascists just like bakeries can decide whether they can sell cakes to gay folks. What’s so hard about this ? May be they should not attempted coup if they wanted to set up their Dynamo DB

In country where I live it is prohibited by law to promote fascism. So I think you are not right by saying company can do business with fascists (i.e. to promote fascism) if they like so. Such company would be dragged to court and owners would probably go to jail.

I had to look this up and it took a while to find the answer. There is no clear decision to say whether bakeries can reuse to sell cakes to gay people.

There is a difference between saying: "Sorry - it is against our beliefs to make a gay wedding cake - go somewhere else"

And saying: "Sure. I will make you a cake" and then spoil the wedding by not delivering in the last minute.

Sorry but what does this have to do with anything that I said? I was not trying to make any such distinction between those two acts.

I was simply saying that it's not so clear cut as to whether a baker can refuse service to anyone and they please. The Supreme Court ruled that Colorado was biased against the defendant, not that their anti-discrimination law was illegal.
