amazon.com’s elimination of gay, lesbian, transgender, bis-xual, polyamorous, pagan and other books because they were “adult,” while leaving p-rnography and hetero adult items ranked. when the public became outraged, they practiced evasiveness and obfuscation…and claimed it was a glitch.
also, #amazonfail, the twitter channel regarding the event.
amazonfail is degrading to all shoppers; it is censorship and discrimination.
