I don't remember it being about either DDoS (if anything, I thought they went to Amazon to avoid the DDoS, seemingly somewhat successfully) or "ToS" (which to me has an implication that Amazon decided they didn't like the service, as opposed to caving under the pressure of other people not liking the service).
> The Wikileaks website migrated to Amazon's cloud hosting service yesterday after being hit by a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack. Amazon decided to discontinue serving the controversial website this morning in response to pressure from critics, including prominent members of Congress. ... Senator Joe Lieberman (I-CT), chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, was among the congressmen who pressured Amazon to stop hosting Wikileaks. He told AFP this morning that he plans to question Amazon about its relationship with Wikileaks.
Well, if you want to believe that public statement (which I see maybe you don't in the second paragraph you edited in), then you also have to retract the DDoS argument, as Amazon expressly and clearly states that that is an incorrect assessment.
> There have also been reports that it was prompted by massive DDOS attacks. That too is inaccurate. There were indeed large-scale DDOS attacks, but they were successfully defended against.
