    Amazon can (by a bit of a stretch) claim that refusing to sell a certain book is just curating their selection, not banning it. But when they prevent used booksellers from selling you copies on Abebooks, that really is banning it in the strict sense of the word.

        I feel like Americans are great at missing the point. A private company is well within their rights to ban or remove something. The problem in America is one company being the entire market, whether it be selling books or hosting videos.

        They might even have to due to legislation in certain territories.

        Do they do this? Is there a specific book you are talking about? I have rarely used Amazon.

        Yes, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is most recent “delisted” case, and two weeks ago, Ryan Anderson’s 2018 best selling, When Harry Became Sally was dropped from Amazon. People bought it from the publisher, Encounter Books:https://www.encounterbooks.com/features/statement-on-amazon/ …

        Can social media platforms also do this with the posted content? By claiming that the algorithm responsible for curating feeds might not have prioritised the post?
