Amazon quietly ends sales of books it labels 'hate speech'

Retail giant made policy change sometime prior to purging from its store "When Harry Became Sally," a book criticizing transgender ideology.

Sometime before this week, when it removed from its digital shelves a book critical of transgender ideology, Amazon altered its content policy to explicitly forbid books that promote "hate speech," a major rule change that could be used to rationalize action against a broader range of books sold by the digital retail giant.

Amazon this week yanked "When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Movement" from its main web store, its Kindle servers and its audiobook lineup with no explanation, even as the book had been available on the site for three years with no apparent controversy.

In the 2018 book, author and political philosopher Ryan Anderson draws on years of scientific research and data to criticize the prevailing approach to transgender issues in modern medicine. The book "exposes the contrast between the media's sunny depiction of gender fluidity and the often sad reality of living with gender dysphoria," according to its sales blurb.

Amazon is a business. What they choose to do is their affair. Not that I like it at all. My problem would be if libraries begin banning books. They are public entities and are supported by tax dollars.

No doubt their goal will be to eventually rid the world of paper books and make everything digital. By issuing chromebooks in middle and high school, they are already laying groundwork for this.

This will allow them to edit and alter history on the go, and as they see fit. What will pass for knowledge will no longer be based in truth, but rather, whatever narrative they want it to be.

Farenheit 451 is a roadmap for them.

This actually happened last Spring 2020.

I knew something was up when Amazon banned sales of "The Turner Diaries" and "Hunter".

Many other books also disappeared at that time.

More censorship.

The only books you need is the anarchist cook book the improvised munitions us field manual and combat medicine. The rest is just formality at this point
