Bill Dembski on censorship of books at Amazon

You think you’re free to read what you want? Think again:

Three days ago on this forum, I raised the question how long would it be before Amazon, which has now started banning videos skeptical of vaccines, starts banning books. I thought books would be safer.

But no. Tommy Robinson’s book Mohammed’s Koran has now been banned on Amazon. For the story, see here. For the Tommy Robinson page at Amazon showing that the book has indeed been removed (proof by absence), see here.

Barnes and Noble has likewise removed it.

The Big Shuddup was bound to happen in monopoly markets. It is much easier to stop a single leak than hundreds of them.

One naturally hopes it won’t spread to ID or whatever we want to read or watch but who knows? Today, for those in power, the big thing is not to win a debate but stop it from happening.
