Amazon defended the child pedo guide based on free speech rights. They completely collapsed here to political pressure. Hypocrites.

  I'm pretty sure they took that down as well. They initially defended it, but a few hours later they took it down. As is their right. They're a private company, they're entitled to do whatever they want.

    They're actually a public company. But that doesn't matter unless you hold enough shares in the company to make them care the way you want to.

      Private as in "not a governmental body subject to the whims of politicians", not private as in "not traded on the stock exchange".

        Well, they succumbed to political pressure, thus, quite close to if not indeed at the whims of politicians.
