Amazon: Hate for Sale
Hey Amazon: are you going to make me stop Prime? Everyone in the US has the absolute right to be a bigot, to be a hater, however nobody is obligated to help them spread their hate, and when we see major retailers helping hate and extremism we must take them to task.
Items and merchandise promoting right-wing extremist ideologies, including white supremacy and the anti-government militia movement, are still being offered for sale by various third-party sellers on Amazon, in apparent violation of the company’s own policies, according to a recent search of the retailing site by experts in ADL’s Center on Extremism.
Hateful books (including paradigmatic white supremacist novel The Turner Diaries) are easily accessible, usually available without warnings, and often proactively “recommended” by Amazon’s algorithm.
Hateful merchandise, including flags and t-shirts, can be a bit harder to find, but it’s available, as long as you know which – slightly obscure – search terms to use.
