BBCより。Amazonの検閲が始まる。
アップルは以前からこのような検閲をしているが、それをAmazonは否定していたような・・・
こうした検閲がどこまで有効なのか？
そもそもどのように実行するのかについては課題が山積しているようだ。
必ずしも否定はしないが、こうした本に対する規制よりも、より有効なのはつまらない頭のいかれた人間の殺人などを逐一報道しないことではないかと思う。
耳慣れた殺人は身近に感じてしまうものだ。
知らないでよいことは一杯ある。
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-24491723Retailer Amazon has removed several abuse-themed e-books from its Kindle Store after a report highlighted titles depicting rape, incest and bestiality.

Titles such as Taking My Drunk Daughter had been on sale.

Amazon and Barnes & Noble both say they are removing books found by technology news site The Kernel, but many others still remain, the BBC has found.

WHSmith and Kobo, which feature titles with similar themes, are yet to respond to requests for comment.

The BBC found that on Amazon's store, the search function automatically suggested explicit topics to users typing seemingly innocuous keywords - without age verification taking place.

Amazon has not responded to the BBC's request for comment on the issue, except to confirm that the specific books listed by The Kernel had been removed.

Barnes & Noble said in a statement the titles were "in violation" of its policy on content offered in the NOOK Bookstore and were in the process of being removed.

"When there are violations to the content policy that are brought to our attention, either through our internal process or from a customer or external source, we have a rapid response team in place to appropriately categorize or remove the content in accordance with our policy," it said.

Justice Minister Damian Green told the BBC "the government shares the public's concerns about the availability of harmful material."

Self-published

The titles can be found in the self-published section of the retailers' sites - an area where authors can offer their own work. The companies take a percentage of the sales made through their stores.
