Amazon: Please terminate your streaming agreement with NRATV

Jeff

We ask that you consider termination your server contract with NRATV

The service owned by the Nation Rifle association streams from Amazon AWS servers on DNS

NS-341.AWSDNS-42.COM NS-731.AWSDNS-27.NET NS-1430.AWSDNS-50.ORG

This Service regularly streams video accusing political opponents of their polices and mainstream media of plotting to overthrow the second amendment.

Of course there is no proof to justify any such claims but they are targeting a particular portion of their base sensitized to conspiracy theories of government takeovers.

Their most recent video entitled “Take Back The Truth” not only targets cable media but the student survivors of the Portland shooting. accusing them of being manipulated by

media looking for nothing but ratings.

This is in clear violation of the AWS services TOS agreement specifically the sections on abuse . "No Illegal, Harmful, or Offensive Use or Content”

To me someone who has been in IPTV and streaming for many years this just goes beyond the pale , My child is a young adult now but I can sympathize with how parents of school age
children are terrified that their child may come home in a casket. My daughter was in school during the 911 attack and I remember how worried I was about her.

Yet the NRA uses this streaming service to promote false claims against law enforcements, media, and even shooting victims to prevent any attempt at reasonable gun control.

I am a big advocate of freedom of speech but when our Children’s lives are on the line , the time for compromise is now.

I ask you to take this action As a streaming developer, I work with many clients one of which had 30 EC2 instances dedicated to their social media services, I cannot share the name of that or other
clients in a public petition due to NDA, and I use that as one example of the kind of commitment many of us have to Amazon.

I also ask as a concerned Parent, and Citizen of this country. The NRA does not think you will do anything about their actions, but Please Sir show them they are wrong.

Why is this important?

I am a parent , two of my relatives are teachers, My sister's 4 year old has Autism I cannot help imagine if he was involved in one of these school shootings I fear he would not survive in the panic.

Two of our friends were in Las Vegas during that incident and found themselves running for cover,

this issue hits close to home.
