Free speech is an over-used theory on the Internet in my opinion...Amazon can likely do anything they want (I'm sure the agreement you sign to publish books on there gives them plenty of leeway)...hell, they didn't want to sell monster porn written by women. Also, I suspect actual legal action is not worth it due to time, expense, and discovery issues involved.
"Internet justice" is probably the better route if something is do be done.
True. But keep in mind the way these people think.
Amazon/Facebook removes ROK or other politically incorrect things: "They're a private business. They can do what they want."
Amazon/Facebook removes things with breastfeeding, nudes, or men kissing each other: "Even though they're a private business, we're the customers and they can't just do what they want because we keep them in business."
People were saying "It's their business" when the Duck Dynasty guy got suspended for coming out against gay marriage. Had he gotten suspended for saying "Gay sex is a turn on!!!" something tells me they would have been singing a different tune.
