Amazon policy on LGBT books spurs twitter uprising


Amazon policy on LGBT books spurs twitter uprising

Amazon's official response to the disappearing sales rankings is that it was a "glitch" that would be fixed.
But that explanation seems only to have angered people and sparked calls of homophobia. Twitter users began adding the tag #glitchmyass fuelling even more fire to the PR crisis.

*********************************

This from their terms of use. Amazon is supposedly for adults only. So where does the deranking "adult" books come from anyway? Like the twitter folks said #glicthmyass.

"Amazon does sell products for children, but it sells them to adults, who can purchase with a credit card or other permitted payment method. If you are under 18, you may use Amazon.com only with involvement of a parent or guardian."

From Amazon's Conditions of Use policy.
