IMO there are several things being lost sight of here but this -- freedom of the press, freedom of speech and the laws around it as well as other applicable laws such as slander, but also being lost track of is the difference in saying something and doing something. Also the innocent until proven guilty. Many have already strung up this author with no evidence whatsoever that a crime has been committed.

Hi all. I know that there is really nothing that is "off topic" in the V & R thread. But, from this point forward please move discussion of the pedophile book to the thread in the News section. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=106314 Thanks... |

Amazon has not yet properly removed the book. It still shows up if you do a search for it even though there is no actual listing. Amazon, you still have more to do to remove it.

The link to the book shows up, Jon, but when you click on it you are taken to 'sorry this page is not available'.

It's not a political or religous issue.
It's a common sense issue. I'ed like an official list of acceptable "Vent and Rant" subjects, please. So I know when I'm "wrong" in advance. ![]() |
