Elizabeth Warren Demands That Amazon Crack Down on COVID Misinformation

Amazon's customers are apparently unable to judge the veracity of COVID-related information for themselves.
reason.com reason.com



Here you have the federal govt yet against asking a bookseller to hide books the federal govt doesnt agree with. The only thing missing from her letter is 'or else'. Sadly Amazon will likely go along, as they already shown a few times they do not respect free speech or limited govt. And since most people dont care either, Amazon will go along, make lots of money, give lots of it to the govt, in taxes and campaign donations, and get favorable treatment from the govt.

Simply going along with the govts tyranny is more valuable to politicians than money. And the minority of us with principles will continue to get screwed from all sides.

And these people had the gall to call Trump a fascist.

"Doesn't agree with" you mean objectively false information that is killing people?

Opinion isn't what you think it is.

Reason.com LOL.

Well any "bias" that you're so afraid of would I imagine only apply to their opinion on a topic.

However, if you're questioning whether or not Ms. Warren actually made those demands, that's not an issue per se of bias, but one of fact. Either she said it or she didn't - totally irrelevant who publicizes it.

And P.S.... she did say it.

How come any time a liberal expresses an idea it's a "demand" but this isn't the case for conservatives?

I’d be fine with leaving politics out of algorithms altogether to avoid that question.

But then that begs the question, who writes the algorithms that determine what is misinformation and what isn't?

Frankly, I think I'd rather know who the authoritarian is deciding what I can read/view rather than some unknown, energy drink guzzling, programmer working out of his parent's basement with a pizza on his belly and donuts in his shirt pocket.

It's not - you are welcome to tell all your friends about your latest Conspiracy Theory and give them links to buy those books. She does not prevent that at all.

Not a conspiracy theory. It' s a doofus Senator asking that Amazon engage in censorship.
Slavister said:
And they still can

Not for long if this fascist left wing continues and picks up steam.
Slavister said:
Many people clearly can't - including yourself. Thanks you Trump for showing that to us.

We were talking about books and alleged disinformation, however you cannot get Trump out of your head. Just another case of Trump living in your head rent free.

How did anyone not recognize the fact Reason is a fake news organization? Despite claiming to be unbiased, they only feature conservative stories. They put "Libertarian news" in the first sentence on their About page.

Did Warren not ask of / say these things about Amazon?

The democrats are full on book burners. It’s why I no longer buy books from Amazon and pay cash at shops. There will come a time where the library I have because of some Amazon purchases will be declared “subversive” and pink haired weirdos will be dispatched to confiscate my library.

What Warren wants to force fascist in nature. It's the equivalent of book burning. In a free nation, citizens are allowed to read what they want to read and make up their own minds. Most can work out what is or is not disinformation.

Unfortunately. the way millions around the world have bought into crazy conspiracy theories because they just like the ideas, tends to disprove your thoughts on how well people recognize disinformation. Imo, the conspiracy theory industry has become one of the more destructive influences in the world since social media etc empowered it. I know otherwise really intelligent people who just have some sort of mindset that embraces conspiracy theories, and it definitely impacts their families lives.

Amazon, in this instance. They are already refusing to carry at least one book guilty of "wrong think" that I'm aware of
