AMAZON FILES: These Are the Books Biden Told Amazon to Digitally Bury
24th June 2024
House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan’s latest drop of (R-OH) Amazon Files uncovered that the Big Tech giant suppressed at least 43 books at the behest of President Joe Biden’s administration.
The third installment of The Amazon Files, released Friday, revealed that the Biden administration pressured tech giant Amazon to censor vaccine-critical books that came out even before the COVID-19 vaccine. “Under the guise of combatting ‘anti-vaccine’ misinformation, Amazon censored everything from picture books for children to books criticizing Big Pharma,” Jordan wrote in an X post.
Jordan shared screenshots of internal emails at Amazon revealing that employees “create[d] a new [Do Not Promote] class for anti-vax books.” The employee added, “The impetus for this request is criticism from the Biden administration about sensitive books we’re giving prominent placement to, and should be handled urgently.” The emails further show a discussion about whether books should be “remove[d] from sale” since they were often sought out by name rather than being discovered by general searches.
