COURTHOUSE,
Oct 29 – There is a lot of
talk these days about
censorship and book banning.
Here is one example, from
Amazon's Kindle Direct
Publishing on the evening of
October 24 to Inner City
Press:
"We have
terminated your KDP account
because you submitted
offensive content, which
violates our content
Guidelines, in the book(s)
listed below.
Maximum Maxwell:
The Narrow Prosecution: From
UN Collusion to Five Guilty
Verdicts, Impunity on Trial-
external_id:46769426
American
Ugly: Kevin Spacey Beats the
Rapp: But Dark Secrets Made
Public in SDNY Live-
external_id:52331181
As part of the
account termination process:
• You can no
longer access your KDP
Account, Bookshelf, or
Reports.
• We have removed
your published books from the
Amazon Store.
• You are not
eligible to receive any
outstanding royalties.
• You are not
allowed to open a new KDP
account.
Inner City
Press appealed, including to
Amazon's general counsel David
Zapolsky, and on October 29
got this:
"we are removing
all of the titles [on SBF,
Eric Adams, BNP, Sudan and the
UN]. Please be advised that
this is our final decision and
we won’t be offering further
insight or action on this
matter."
Amazon
offered no insight, no due
process. Meanwhile over the
transom come more and more
complaints about Amazon, and
clues such as the Jeff Bezos
invited Maxwell to his
Campfire "literary" retreat,
and dined with Jeffrey
Epstein. And Andy Jassy? We
will have more, much more, on
this.
