I'm not arguing that Amazon doesn't have the right to pull things that are either illegal or have the appearance of being so, I'm just saying that when you pull this title but leave that one you should expect scrutiny from others. Should content that goes into detail about how to commit a crime be published? No, because that would be irresponsible and could lead to legal problems for those who sold it, but pulling things off the shelves without making it clear what and why leads to others wondering where the line will be drawn. From what I remember of previous topics relating to this Amazon has a habit of not making it clear why they pull some but not others. That sends a bad message (IMO) because even if they aren't legally required to explain themselves morally they should, because free speech and censorship cannot co-exist with each other.
