Heritage Foundation scholar is latest conservative censored by Amazon
Amazon blocked an ad for a book critical of the Black Lives Matter movement, the latest example of the retail giant censoring conservative voices.
The online retailer prevented the Heritage Foundation from purchasing ads to promote Mike Gonzalez's BLM: The Making of a New Marxist Revolution. Amazon told Heritage that the ad "contains book/s or content that is not allowed," specifically "content that revolves around controversial or highly debated social topics is not permitted." Amazon later REVERSED its decision and posted the ad, telling the Washington Free Beacon that its "policies were not enforced correctly in this case" and that the employees responsible would receive "additional training."
Amazon refused to explain the nature of the error. But in recent months, the company has used its policies to suppress conservative books.
