Yes Amazon.com seems to have gotten itself into a controversy. The story so far is this - Amazon is selling a book that is a how to guide for pedophilia. The story was hotly debated on Anderson Copper and is making headlines around the globe. Amazon users noticed that the company was selling this book and raised an alarm. A Facebook page was also created alerting everyone else. Amazon.com has a policy about porn and will not sell anything related to it on their site but they have this how to book up for sale. The controversy is that if the company refuses material that they consider offensive to the customers how come there is a book on this subject available.
If you visit the Facebook page which asks people to boycott amazon.com you will find there this whole thing is being hotly debated. There are people out there who says that they believe in free speech and others who says no. There is a line that needs to be drawn and Amazon should not take profit for something that is so offensive and wrong to citizens living in a normal society.
The latest update visible on the Facebook page is that Amazon has not removed the book listing but the link to buy has been broken.
Here the description from the Facebook page.
