I wish I could take you up on your bet. I’ve read the filing. Unlike you, I suspect. And if Amazon COULD drop anyone at any time for any reason, there would be no value to a terms of service contract.

"if Amazon COULD drop anyone at any time for any reason, there would be no value to a terms of service contract."

That IS the value of the ToS: to ensure they can drop you at any time for any reason and it'll be covered by some portion of the ToS. The ToS is what gives Amazon (and everyone else, because all the major providers have mile long Terms of Service agreements) the legal cover to drop anyone they like. No matter who you are or what you're doing, they can find any number of ways you're violating the Terms of Service. As the ToS is part of your contract with Amazon, your being dropped is covered right there in the contract between you.

Further, as a business, they ought to be free to choose to not do business with anyone at any time, regardless of the ToS. The cake baking case was wrongly decided and needs to be overturned. Businesses have the right to refuse service. Even if they're refusing that service to people we like.
