Should Lolita be banned? And is a book ever appropriately dealt with by a self-righteous Twitter lynch mob seeking to enforce their own standards of offence on the wider community?

Part of the problem there was even kids could have bought that book on Amazon. It wasn't age restricted. Plus, do you want to see someone making money from pedophilia?
Personally, I think it was right of Amazon to have finally pulled the book. It's akin to shouting fire in a crowded theater when there is no fire.
