The exclusivity I was talking about has nothing to do with KDP Select. I was talking about the fact that it is impossible to ship the exact same Kindle book via Amazon's store and any third-party store because of a combination of Amazon's policy that submissions have to be produced with kindlegen and their policy that you can't use kindlegen to produce content for sale outside of Amazon's store.
In effect, the combination of those two policies means that the Kindle version of your book, as sold on Amazon, must be an Amazon exclusive, which in a monopoly or near monopoly situation is legally problematic at best.

I'm just reading Amazon's policies. I have no opinion on what is or is not pornography, nor on whether it should or should not be sold. I'm merely pointing out that it is, in fact, a limitation of speech, albeit one that most people are okay with.
