The move came after four Republicans Sens. Marco Rubio (Fla.), Mike Lee (Utah), Mike Braun (Ind.) and Josh Hawley (Mo.) sent a letter on Feb. 24 to chief executive Jeff Bezos questioning why When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment was no longer available on Amazon platforms, including Kindle and Audible. <cite>sneakysnake posted [p:951641689] in Amazon rem...

Maybe, but two things. 1. I never heard of when Harry became Sally till now, so I am guessing somehow this actually will have people go out and buy the book just to see what is up. 2. The idea is that the book is reprehensible and might make someone share those views. Mein Kampf checks that box whether historical or not. <cite>WingsOfGood posted [p:951642224] in Amazon rem...

This might be the most blatant trolling Ive ever read Amazons vice president of public policy, Brian Huseman, wrote in the letter that the company had changed its content guidelines for books since 2018 but did not elaborate on how. Amazon said it provides its customers with access to a variety of viewpoints, including books that some customers may find objectionable. "That said, we reserve the right not to sell certain content, Huseman wrote. All retailers make decisions about what selection they choose to offer, as do we. <cite>WingsOfGood posted [p:951642705] in Amazon rem...

I dont know why youre quoting that as if you didnt just accuse someone of liking Mein Kampf The quote explains that the policy change is not just lgbtq+ and was not disclosed exactly what they desire to remove. So wondering if another reprehensible book was also removed is natrual. That is unless you think Mein Kampf is a good book. <cite>WingsOfGood posted [p:951642890] in Amazon rem...
