## What Jamie wrote

My view on this topic is very similar to Thompson's. I see end-user sites like YouTube, Facebook, Twitter as being completely within their realm to block and amplify whatever they want to do. They will make those decisions based on their revenue interests. When you move lower in the stack, and you are selling CPU cycles and network access, you should be less opinionated. Which probably also aligns with your revenue interests. Similar to what Thompson says here I find AWS's position the most challenging here.
