Amazon blames "glitch" for reclassifying gay-themed literature as porn



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

If you believe them. Somehow their computers magically took a bunch of gay-themed literature, including the critically-acclaimed "Giovanni's Room" by James Baldwin, and "Brokeback Mountain" by Annie Proulx. Why the "glitch" especially targeted books by gay authors and/or about gay characters suggests that Amazon was up to something, regardless of whether that something turned into a glitch. Amazon isn't saying, nor are they explaining the glitch, or anything else. Amazon needs to come clean, now, and fully explain exactly what happened, and what they were doing.
