Amazon has banned books containing anti-semitic content before.

All of this has nothing to do with DRM and everything to do with the author's ideology, which is harmful.
Can i'd agree with stop of selling of "dangerous" books but not with remotion of books by kindle. It's a dangerous precedent in a democratic country that it's sufficient a law to delete technicaly opposite ideas by people's libraries.

If Hitler had power today he'd be happy to delete communist and liberal books with a simple law.

Amazon is co-responsable of published books so it has reason to stop to sell transphobic and antisemite books.
