Does this include older books, say 100, or even 1,000 years old? Anyone know?
There are 1000 year old books that discuss these types of topics?
A couple command people to stone them to death, but I guess Amazon won't drop those.
An LGBT couple, having Amazon sponsorship tattoos, asked to be murdered or married books were co-cult leaders?

The oldest known books are about 2,500-years-old.

Ancient Greeks and Romans didn't definite sexuality in discrete groups, they instead indicated masculine/dominant/penetrator and feminine/subordinate/penetrated. Nero married a castrated slave.

Maybe Amazon will ban ISIS books, the Bible, and Gilgamesh? Better ban all books, just to be safe.

The censorship purges continue...

Book burning without fire!

edit: Flagged? How is it that X liberal topic is generally discussed as though it's just obviously correct, but anything remotely critical in the opposite direction has to go (in this case, anti-censorship should be non-partisan but in practice generally cleaves to the opposing side depending on who's in office).

It's not like this isn't important to discuss in tech, given the long history of orgs like EFF, GNU, etc. And simply that these are matters of information.

How much were we told that the previous admin was literally instantiating The Handmaid's Tale but somehow erasing books with offensive ideas is "just the right thing to do"?
