Complaints about lack of censorship on the Kindle - Heise Newsticker

the accusation of censorship Amazon sees itself confronted again and again – especially when it comes to its Kindle reader. However, according to research by The Kernel, the company looks for particularly sensitive issues not looking hard enough: In the section of the lay-writers, journalists found mass texts, rape, pedophilia and incest celebrated. After the accusations, the company moved quickly locked the consequences and books.

Officially should appear on Amazon’s eReader no pornographic texts: “We do not accept pornography or offensive Depictions of graphic sexual acts.” Some authors felt good to be able to out talk with a reference to fiction or the fact that it only handle the step-daughter, or taught a publishers who helped the plants with an ISBN number to more legitimacy.

Although

Amazon responded quickly, should an accusation sit very deep: the company may earn money with the lyrics. However, amateur writers can offer their works for free though, they require a paying reader, a portion of the revenue to Seattle.

However

All alone Amazon is not there – competitors such as Kobo and Barnes & Noble see themselves confronted with the same allegations. No supplier so far officially adopted this position, but in addition to self-penned children’s books such fantasies should not soon emerge. Especially in the UK Prime Minister David Cameron would be well over the involuntary support for his porn filter. (fo)
