Geez, self-rightous censors! There's a difference between censorship and moral pressure. People have every right to pressure Bezos to do the morally right thing.

The threat of "protracted litigation" struck me as a threat of censorship. Moral persuasion, fine, everyone has the freedom for an opinion.
Threatening litigation, oops, that crosses the line for me!

There are limits to free speech, among which is speech that is a direct threat to public health ("FIRE!" in a crowded theatre" and encouraging people to imminent lawless action. Molesting children is, of course, against the law.
