Amazon bans books without reveal!ng why. Half of all books and 80% e-books are sold in the US by Amazon, so its ban is effective. A journalist author who's both-sides view of the Gaza war was banned, found (like others) they unbanned it after a media storm. But still no explanation about why they banned it.
Books bearing witness to the Oct. 7 slaughter and reporting the war from both sides are being barred for violating Amazon’s secretive “content guidelines.”
