No the right is literally like "We should be allowed to sell whatever we want to whoever we want, bakers should be able to refuse gays etc" then like "How dare amazon stop people selling dangerous books that can ruin the lives of autistic children?" Have your cake or eat it, stop flip flopping.


Lol a mom and pops vs a corporation that has so much power and money it could've stopped NY from going the way of California. Good thing that smart economist you love so much stopped that.

"Amazon is removing books that promote supposed "cures" for autism"


Again, if you had told me 15 years ago that the Internet by 2020 would be basically the same sites and same functionality and same speed as it was in 2005, with the only differences being that you'd browse it from cell phones and everything would be buried under ridiculous heaps of orwellian censorship, well, if you told me all that I'd shoot you and steal your time machine and jet off to the 2300s and bang some androids. Because maybe at least by 2300 we'll be rid of this nonsense


GOOD !

There is no cure for autism.

I'm in no way FOR censorship, but removing those books is a GOOD thing. Think of the damage they will do, if not removed.
They shouldn't have ever made it to amazon. Peer review should have eliminated them.

Still, they should have some kind of oversight. Especially for things like medical advice books.

I can walking into a hundred book stores right now and order any book i want.



Amazon is on the borderline whereas paypal is a definite monopoly I think. Amazon takes up 40% of the market share.
