rhogan23.jpgAccording to BNet, more controversial material seems to have been removed from Amazon.com in the wake of last week’s controversy over The Pedophile’s Guide to Love and Pleasure. What do you think–how far should Amazon go in removing objectionable materials?

Here’s an excerpt from the report: “Now it looks as though Amazon has been doing some spring cleaning by tracking down and scrubbing its site of videos featuring nude and apparently underage girls as well as extended videos of young boys dancing and wrestling.”

On the Morning Media Menu, former GalleyCat editor and Beatrice.com founder Ron Hogan (pictured) discussed the ongoing debate over censoring The Pedophile’s Guide and other controversial books. Years ago, Hogan wrote about this topic on our site. We also talked about Hogan’s recent series of reviews at Tor.com. Press play below to listen.
