It's a TOS violation, a contract dispute. There are no laws about terminating a contract which was previously agreed upon and the termination is within the TOS; that doesn't mean Amazon might not face financial costs from their actions, especially if it was taken without complying with the contract or for reasons which weren't within the contract.

In other words, a private party dispute which violates no laws.

And that's a problem. There's a handful of companies which can turnkey provide the server ability, throughput, diversity of data centers and otherwise handle the loads of a large scale social network. And there's nothing to prevent them from all rejecting this and many other platforms.

I'm wondering when they'll start coming after other data centers and sites hosted there. It's almost like freedom of speech will take a distributed hosted communication network to continue, otherwise every single word will be only at the sufferance of a handful of companies.
