Amazon banned a gun book from their site last night. It told me the book violated their content guidelines but wouldn't say which guideline and wouldn't answer any further questions.https://freebeacon.com/issues/amazon-bans-gun-book/ …

This is absolutely infuriating, and I'm a liberal who's fond of firearms. Amazon might have every right to do so, but that doesn't make it any less heavy-handed and wrong. Information should not be censored at the whims of whatever tech bro has the most money this week.

Amazing with how offended you are with a private business choosing which products they choose to sell. If you can still buy the book elsewhere, then the book isn’t being censored. It’s like telling a baker they are censoring cakes b/c they aren’t selling gay wedding cakes.

But that's the point isn't it? We're not talking about forcing someone to provide something they don't want to. We're talking about the morality of the freely made choice. You can say it is a bad choice for Amazon while acknowledging other outlets exist. It's not exclusive.

Exactly this. It's absolutely Amazon's choice to carry the book or not. They should not be forced to do so, that in itself would be immoral. But the way in which they're going about their lack of support appears opaque and underhanded.

“But the way in which they're going about their lack of support appears opaque and underhanded.” How so? They are simply choosing not to sell this particular product; much like many products that choose not to sell. The whys are really irrelevant.

It would be helpful to potential sellers for their guidelines to be well-documented and available for anyone to read. Otherwise I will stand by my statement that it's opaque and a bit underhanded.
