This morning a discovery title some offensive in self-publishing platform e-book Amazon has attracted a variety of responses. There are a number of issues at stake here, the first - amendment to a website "Padania" rights And although Amazon has issued a statement apparently take harsh stance against censorship, the book is almost certainly in violation of their digital text platform guidelines, making their defense of the title appear somewhat arbitrary.
Guidelines state that offensive material (which they define as "on what you would expect") will be rejected or deleted, but they stated today that "" it is censorship does not sell some books simply because we or others believe their message is objectionable. ""They it is not in both directions, and it is dangerous for such a sensitive question stay unanswered when the company builds the digital edition of how if he'll be importante.donc?
Both parties have a legitimate defence. Amazon is not the Government, they are a company, and it is their prerogative to publish something or not. They are not able to censor, they are able to choose or not to provide a service.It is one thing different complètement.Et is in fact, if you look at their content guidelines, their current policies. That is why the decision not to delete this book is so surprising.
On the other hand, while it is not easy to defend the pedophilia is not really nécessaire.Liberté expression is protected in that country, with a few exceptions, and even those who are difficult to prove. Usually, they have to do with a clear and immediate danger something that is not this book, terrible. If this is the position of the Amazon that will make available all which is not manifestly unlawful, then they are only questionable because of what constitutes good taste.
This is a hell of a position to take, but the fact is that someone will take if Amazon is. While comparison is somehow a bad, is a natural, therefore, I would say as well as the Bank of APP "organized" versus "open" Android market is a similar basic antagonism.This type of gap will only grow, because both parties claim heights, there are good reasons both exist .the same will happen with the book market, and (in part) the rest of the internet. This is just a skirmish advance caused by a particularly repulsive book on a particularly influential platform. What Amazon does with a hot potato as this draws a line in the sand. And as most of the lines in the sand, people tend to get one side or the other of them.
Say Amazon retracts and takes the book. While many congratulate them on a presentation of caution and good taste, other libraries, which are hovering over this debacle as Harriers, address and day. "Can trust Amazon." "All the books in our store are approved by hand." Slogans write themselves.
They also leave themselves vulnerable to criticism from some ambitious e-book market that says "If Firstly they derive 1984 your Kindle." Then they are a few rules, and then leave it in a book against these rules.Then they say that these rules do not apply. Then they apply, but only after the outcry .Est - this integrity?We do not agree with what you write, but we will defend the bankruptcy of your right to publish.Or something to this effet.Il may not be pretty, but the fact is that it is a stand some people are very passionate decision-making.Even if their store ended up nothing but manuals rape and screeds racist, all they need to do is point to the first amendment and say that it is legal and necessary.And it is not a long walk away on Wikileaks.
If they choose to not get the book, they must specify their position in it, and that would not be easier after this Act opening.Is bold enough to be the bookseller I describe above Amazon? in some ways, I doubt it's an appealing shareholders position.
Where Amazon chooses to stand after this incident, someone will define themselves by its shadow .the ' only appropriate action that they could have been immediately draw the book being notified of its existence, and take the position that he has slipped through the cracks, and they hire you more people to supervise the control of things contenu.Ces arrive, even though I would be suspicious content with large enough to allow such a glaring red flag crack control processes such as "from Pedophile Guide to love and Pleasure", through them.
We expect to hear from Amazon soon on if they have really subscribed to the freedom of expression and good taste, two principles that appear in this case be incompossible.Qui knows, but this could be a watershed for the e-book market time? I doubt it will be only get swept under the carpet.
On a related note, while we definitely encourage certainly do you your feedback (positive or negative) knows that Amazon, because they need themselves to square with the consequences of their actions is, please try to remember that if you buy the book as a means of protest against censorship, you give money to the author of this monstrosity.
