Comment on Amazon user feedback used for censorship

Sounds like paranoia to me. Amazon is following their policies. Nothing to see here.

The complaint is not that Amazon are intentionally blocking certain controversial material, but that their policies are fundamentally flawed and easily-abused.

This also isn't the first time that one of Amazon's policies has been abused... http://blog.seattlepi.com/amazon/2009/04/12/amazon-under-fir...

I don't think it's paranoia, so much as it is someone lamenting a loss and looking for someone or something to blame. He's wants this to be a big deal, even if it isn't..

I'd say it's more about too big a sense of self-importance than anything else.
