Snowden Lashes Out at Amazon for Blacklisting Iranian Accounts Under Trump Pressure
Prominent whistleblower Edward Snowden on Tuesday described Amazon's decision to stop providing services to Iran's opposition as a "misguided attempt" to please the US government.
Snowden's tweet reads: "You might not know it, but Amazon runs basically half the internet on their cloud platform. Now they're cutting off the lifeline of Iran's liberal opposition in a misguided attempt to please—far beyond what the law requires—one of Amazon's biggest customers: the US Government."
Iran is currently under the wide-ranging US sanctions that were restored by Donald Trump after pullingd out from the landmark 2015 nuclear deal.
