How fascinating it is to see conservatives being all about the free market until it goes against them. Indeed, Amazon is a private business and they certainly have the right to sell only those items they deem worth of selling. In the same way they decline to sell neo-Nazi paraphernalia, they have the right to refuse to sell anti-LGBTQ+ objects.
A similar, equally-fascinating example is the outrage conservatives express when those other free enterprises called Google and Facebook decline to allow individuals such as the former president on their platforms. Consistency is a bitch.
- disposekinetics 6y agoI fully believe they are a free to do what they want up until they run into illegal anti-competitive practices, but I can still be disappointed that I had to go elsewhere for a book for the first time in around a decade. In my case I read this book because Amazon took the time to remove it. I would not have read it otherwise.
- hntrader 6y ago"they certainly have the right" Nobody is arguing that they don't have that right, so this is little more than a strawman. Expressing disagreement (or even dismay) with a company's decision isn't inconsistent with support for a free market, either.
