John,

What’s your point? Are you saying that it’s OK for an ISP to break antitrust 
laws for a political cause? To bring this discussion back into the realm of 
operational discussions, shouldn’t we be building infrastructure that has the 
audit and change management components needed to detect ill-advised actions 
like Amazon’s?

I recently read that Theranos IT conveniently “lost the keys” to the encrypted 
database files that are key evidence in the DOJ’s fraud case against them. 
Clearly there is an ethical case for us as technologists to treat these events 
in a non-partisan way. The days of “I was just following orders” are long gone.
