Pentagon Papers leaker Daniel Ellsberg calls for boycott of Amazon.com

The man responsible for what was once the largest amount of secret US government information ever leaked has called for free speech advocates to boycott online retailer Amazon.com over their removal of WikiLeaks from their cloud servers.

Saying that he's "disgusted" by Amazon claiming a violation of their terms of service for taking WikiLeaks offline, Daniel Ellsberg sent an open letter damning the company for capitulating to public and private sector officials who "aspire to China’s control of information and deterrence of whistle-blowing."

2. I had just heard this on NPR and was going to post it.
I've never purchased anything on Amazon before and now I know I won't be in the future.
