#3Is amazon the only way to pubish an ebook?
Surely he could just post a PDF for paid download and have readers send the PDF to kindle if they really need to read it there.
Calling a book "unreported truths..." while things are rapidly changing is misleading at best

#4Well he's absolutely right, but in 20 years when SpaceX owns the only Mars-Colony/City i vote also to breakup SpaceX

#5I don’t really know what anyone in this situation wanted to happen here? Amazon and Apple and Google have been trying to stem the tide of a massive wave of low-quality books and apps hitting their stores trying to make a quick buck off people’s ignorance and fear.
Refusing to publish content related to COVID because nobody has the time and resources to go through them all is the best you can do. If they just let people publish the story would be “Amazon doing nothing about COVID misinformation spreading through their store.”

Yeah, his point are not are not good, but if you think about the Bell-Story (the us allowed just one company to take over the phones-lines the other can make the computers), if you look at amazon and google today, that's definitely a mono-pol.

If he makes there I’m sure that colony would seek independence and have its own constitution and laws... maybe he’d incorporate SpaceX in Mars too.

#10He's right though. As far as the first amendment goes, books are the most robust medium we have. You can go to Amazon right now and buy a copy of Mein Kampf, hardcover, paperback, or Kindle. Surely Berenson's book is not worse than Mein Kampf?
Here's a though experiment, reductio ad absurdum, if you will.
Say you like Bezos' politics and agree with the stuff he wants to censor. Say tomorrow Bezos is run over by a bus and, through a weirdest twist of fate in history (bear with me on this one) Richard Spencer takes his place, complete with his own, very different editorial preferences.
Would you still agree that Amazon, as a company, has an unimpeded right to censor speech then? And if not, you need to think very carefully why you're _not_ against giving them this power now.
