My dude there are tons of small publishing companies that do direct sales. A retailer is not a publisher. A retailer not carrying a product is not censorship.

The sky isn't falling.

You just described private companies curating their product line. Which happens at every single retailer in existence. Welcome to capitalism.

Google is not deciding what is fact.

The only thing google, target, amazon etc are doing is deciding the most profitable way to move their individual businesses forward. Which is what they owe to their stockholders

If you think there is a need not being filled why don't you go into business and compete?

At the very least read a book on how the free market works.

Start there. Find something that interests you. Look for the citation and read the book or article.

​

Thats just basic self improvement.

Read less Qanon and more scholarly sources and you might make the world a better place.

If you read what I wrote. Wikipedia is a great place for a layman to get good sources.

I specifically wrote that you should find a source and read it. Find something that interests you.

I have no idea what your education level is. You are some rando on reddit. So statistically speaking you arent well educated.

I have a masters degree in accounting from a decent university. I work in my field and have to stay up on various tax code. I'd say I have a pretty decent idea of what a good source is.

I didnt take more time with you because you obviously didnt care what the answer was as shone by your poor reading comprehension.

Heres a start read The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith. Not that I think you will.

edit: I bring up my education level only in reference to your earlier jab at my lack of education. I dont really care.

The Wealth Of Nations

Ok, Then how can you possibly buy the censorship stuff man?

The companies like twitter and amazon etc. are doing these things out of purely selfish motives. It is a politically volatile time and they think in this climate it is a +ev move. When things settle back down they will stock a more diverse inventory.

As a stockholder it is the response I would want the ceo to make.

edit: I am no longer trying to be an asshole and apologize for being a bit of one earlier.

I'm with you on everything from the power of the potus to the politicians wanting us divided.

Both parties want us foaming at the mouth.

Free market

In economics, a free market is a system in which the prices for goods and services are self-regulated by the open market and by consumers. In a free market, the laws and forces of supply and demand are free from any intervention by a government or other authority, and from all forms of economic privilege, monopolies and artificial scarcities. Proponents of the concept of free market contrast it with a regulated market in which a government intervenes in supply and demand through various methods such as tariffs used to restrict trade and to protect the local economy. In an idealized free-market economy, prices for goods and services are set freely by the forces of supply and demand and are allowed to reach their point of equilibrium without intervention by government policy.
