Sure, Amazon is a private company. But being nearly a monopoly, certainly headed that way, it bears more of a responsibility to behave in the best interest of the public (look at how dot-gov interferes with Microsoft). Book burning is NEVER in the pubic interest, only in some of your personal interests.

Exactly. You wouldn't sell a Hustler magazine to a 4 year old. You would sell one to someone of legal age to be developmentally able to responsibly read/view the content in an adult manner.
