More Scientology Censoring: Amazon.com Review Guidelines Disallows Critiques Of Authors Or Their Intentions
I slept poorly last evening thinking about how a small, secretive, dangerous “religious” sect has hijacked this country’s values, beliefs and its rich history of free speech.
We are free to criticize our President, our Famous and Wealthy, CEO’s of powerful businesses, the Pope, World Leaders from around the globe, heck we (as a nation, not individuals) are even allowed to invade countries and dispose of their leaders, but the one thing apparently citizens of the U.S. are not allowed to do: express anything negative about a science fiction writer who created a religion for the sole purpose of generating money and controlling people.
I am genuinely concerned with the path the internet has taken, which by most people’s standards is the last bastion for the exercise of free speech.
A book reviewer and concerned citizen has been working on a story with me about Amazon.com’s policy of censoring negative reviews on all books by Scientology found L. Ron Hubbard.
We wrote about this is brief a few days ago, but now there have been more developments. And I must admit, I am shocked and disturbed by the heavy-handed manner in which those who run Amazon are willing to side with the Church of Scientology. Not only is it alarming, but it serves to eat away at the fabric of our most closely held doctrine for which this country was founded on: free speech.
This is long, but I saw no way to edit it without altering the whole picture of what has happened:
