They requested the company provide documentation explaining its decision, including whether the book violated an Amazon policy. Under the category “Offensive Content," Amazon’s content guidelines include a sentence that reads: “We don’t sell certain content including content that we determine is hate speech, promotes the abuse or sexual exploitation of children, contains pornography, glorifies rape or pedophilia, advocates terrorism, or other material we deem inappropriate or offensive." Mr. Anderson said he first learned that his book was no longer for sale on Sunday afternoon after a would-be book purchaser called him to say they couldn’t find the book on Amazon. Mr. Anderson then looked and also couldn’t find it. In a tweet Wednesday, Mr. Anderson thanked the group of Republican senators for their support.
